OBJ Chooses The Rams Over Patriots Nation

OBJ wanted his release from the Browns and he got it. Then he was rumored to want to play for the Chiefs, Saints, and Packers. There was also rumors that the Patriots were still in the mix because he had great respect for head coach Bill Belichick. After Wednesday, the OBJ camp said it could be a few days before he signed.

A day later and OBJ is a Los Angeles Ram. He gets an offensive minded coach. A good quarterback, and goes to a team that is only seven and two on the season. Pretty much everything he asked for, whether or not it's a one year deal.

As for why I am writing about this. Not every fan wanted OBJ in New England. Some thought he was overrated. Some thought he was just another name. And some of the fanbase thought he was in decline and wasn't worth adding him to the Patriots roster. With OBJ choosing to sign with the Rams over the Patriots, maybe this article will help the rest of the fanbase.

See OBJ could've taken the Patriots offer to come to New England. He passed on the team, he passed on Belichick, but most importantly, he passed on you. He passed on us, he passed on the fanbase. It doesn't matter of he's ring chasing because once in the playoffs, every team is a real contender.

The 29 year old will probably never, ever get another chance to be a member of the New England Patriots. And the one chance he got, presumably he was polite and said "no thanks" but for all we know, he could've just as very well have said "Nah, F' that place!" He's never worn the jersey and it's time to stop treating him like he has. He doesn't want to play for the Patriots, he doesn't want to play for us, and will only come now if he gets desperate. If he ever comes crawling to the team for a contract, I want everyone to remember this moment. If we're not good enough for him now, why should we think he's good enough for us ever again?
