twist_to_open Posted May 30, 2019 Posted May 30, 2019 He was there for the first day, before they actully took the field and the press was there in force. Once the cameras packed up and left he disappeared. Classic team player. 4

JohnC Posted May 30, 2019 Posted May 30, 2019 He will be coming into camp in shape and ready to play. The rules don't compel him to be there so what is the big deal. If he were a younger player who needed to acclimate to the pro game then I can understand the concern. But he is a veteran who simply is preparing for the season in his own way. When the Browns traded for him they knew that he had a diva attitude. So they shouldn't be surprised with his individualistic approach to the team and game. If he plays up to his talents the organization will gladly tolerate his aberrant behavior. If he underperforms then his self-centered behavior will become an issue. Or another way of saying this is you get what you get. 3

He answered the questions sounding pissed off that he wasn’t there, and now they’ve been talking about it all day in between the back and forth over the insipid Mayfield-Cowherd childish ***** 1

But if I were a coach, I'd want all my players there. Especially new player as imprortant as Beckham to work with our second year QB 9

However, he is on a new team and it probably would have been a good idea to show up and interact with his new teammates. In the end, it probably won’t make a difference. But still... 1

I mean why would he want to have more reps with his brand new QB who's in his 2nd year in the NFL? Why would he want to build on his relationships with his entirely new team around him? Why would he want to have more reps working through an offensive system he's new to? I mean yeah your right whatever happens here in the offseason is meaningless compared to what happens in the season but I don't see why we can't look at things that are happening now and say whether we think they're good or bad. 5 2
PetermansRedemption Posted May 30, 2019 Posted May 30, 2019 I’m sure this isn’t due to anger. The guy just paid to get his car re-done in Browns orange.

I don’t think it’s due to anger. It’s due to him having more important things to do. He’s a vet, whatever ... but it’s a terrible look when you have a new QB to develop chemistry with and a new offense to learn. It’s a wasted opportunity. If anyone benefits the most from this portion of OTAs, given the limited time available in TC now, it’s the QB/WR group 2 1

Had i known that he would pull a stunt like this i would never have brought him to a Team. and EXACTLY why i pounded the table no when we were discussed trading for him. Brand new players Coaches etc over at the Browns. Nice project btw. Willl be watching them a bit. My opinion is this just sucks fro Browns Fans and rest of team as well.

But still... as Coach you cannot Long term Team build with this kind of person player. you go over the Top with a guy like this, and everyone loves you for it. not rebuild a team kinda guy . (see Bills ) for the right way to do it : ) 1
