OBJ has done a hell of a lot more on the field than Clowney has. Those first three years in the league are better than the entirety of Clowneys career. And yes he's been fairly quiet the last year or two but he's done enough in the past to earn the diva or headcase label. He may shed it but he's earned it for now.
Both are players that only had a couple seasons of good production. Injuries have prevented them from really breaking out and are popular because of one play.
Also, its not fair to hold what he said or did 6 or 7 years ago and just label him the same now. He's literally said or done nothing that makes him as such.
You mean recently, right?
I mean aside from a couple seasons as a 21, 22 year old 7 years ago.
We don't hear much about OBJ because he rarely makes a splash anymore. He only played 7 games last year, and he's averaged around 4 TD's per year for the last 4 years. This guy got paid for 3 great years, and really hasn't produced since. And yes, he's a diva.
He's been hurt. He played with a sports hernia in 2019 and IR last year. He also didn't do anything to be a diva. When they switched to a run centered offense did he say anything? Not that I know of.
I’m all for giving people second chances. In the NFL players mature at different rates. While both OBJ and Mayfield have matured somewhat since their early days I still consider them “me not We” players. To me that equates to Head cases. But I’m willing to adjust my thinking if they continue to mature. Feel free to disagree.
...but how??? What actions have they done to make them as such? Every time I see them its no different than any other player. I remember when Baker was drafted, and everyone was so hellbent on making him the next Johnny Manziel and it just hasn't happened. Baker is a fun loving dude that just plays. OBJ was, yes I agree as a Giant. As a Brown? Not so much.
