Odell Beckham Jr. vs. Calvin Johnson (Pro Bowl)

     This past Sunday I was a little disappointed when realizing I wouldn't be able to watch OBJ play football for another eight months.  But the part that disappointed me the most was that I should be watching him in the meaningless yet entertaining Pro Bowl. 
 
     Odell Beckham JR. burst onto the scene with the Giants on his way to arguably the best rookie season for a wide receiver ever.  All of that while only starting in 11 games due to a hamstring injury.  Had he played in every game this year he could have easily lead the league in every single category that meant something.  To put into perspective how dominant he was to finish the season, his worst performance in the last four weeks was against the Titans when he caught 11 balls for 130 yards and a touchdown.  Yes I said worst.

      Todays compare topic will be OBJ vs. Calvin Johnson.  Before anyone gets confused I am not saying the rookie phenom is better than Megatron.  The argument I will make today is that he simply had a better season.  After looking at the stats its very obvious.

Odell finished the season with 91 catches for 1,305 yards, and 12 TD's in 11 starts.

Calvin Johnson finished the season with 71 catches for 1,077 yards, and 8 TD's in 13 starts.

The stats aren't even comparable considering the time OBJ missed to start the season.  And to make a comparison that all Giants fans will understand, Calvin Johnson and Rueben Randle both had 71 catches this season.

       OBJ was named the first alternate for the Pro Bowl so there is still a good chance that we will be able to watch him go to work one more time.  In my opinion he was by far the most exciting player to watch in the second half of the NFL season.  Those are the kind of players the Pro Bowl needs to have.
