I guess the disconnect is you still think Diggs is this necessary puzzle piece to contention. I’ve watched him no show against KC enough, I don’t mind if some rookie puts up 4 catches for 32 yards. What’s the difference, except they will get much needed experience and better faster? We will contend as long as Allen is QB and McD is coach. Legit no one else matter that much.

If there was ever a year to take some medicine on Diggs and have 2-3 rookie WR’s learning and growing with Josh, it’s probably this year.

Because his value can get even lower still?

Nah, I think he’s declining. Not sure if he sucks yet. We will likely see in 2024 if his last ten games were an aberration or a reflection of his current ability. However, this phenomenon is well documented. If a player is purported to be “run out of town,” they do obviously suck. EJ got “ran out of town.” It’s the kiss of death for a career. Arguing that Diggs is being run out of town by the fans is very bad. The sister clause is “if there’s a huge amount topics about you being a franchise QB, you aren’t one.” When was the last time Josh had a “is he the guy” topic? Probably 2019? How many did Tyrod and Fitz get? Thousands. How many did Fields get? Thousands.

All we need is one year. we are not the successors to NE’s dynasty. We never will be. Banking on one year of Josh getting hot and playing like the best QB in football in the postseason (which he’s proven he can do) is a much better strategy than banking on super JAG’s like Oliver, Rousseau, AJE, Benford etc etc all playing at a great level consistently in the postseason (which they’ve never proven they can do).

Ah the old “running them out of town” argument. Because Brandon Beane and Stef are deciding their futures based on TBD commentary. This is the same type of comment we got with Trent and Fitz and Tyrod and Mario Williams all the other dudes who sucked who got “ran out of town by the fans.” Spoiler alert: they still ***** sucked after they left. Let’s make it simple. If you are going to make the argument that the fans are “running a player out of town,” that’s proof positive the player sucks. You are admitting Diggs sucks.

Folks that I trust that definitely have sources within the org. I have no idea the “why” behind it and neither did they.

I do not care about the RB room at all. We have spent 2 thirds and a second in the last 5 years on running back. Bring the UB starter to camp, who cares.

Many folks have reported that there was a point where Allen and Diggs were not on speaking terms and that Allen had to be the bigger person and cobble together some kind of working relationship.

Can you think of another difference between Rasul Douglas and Stef Diggs?

Honestly, do you think like Stef should be interpreted like any other player or do you think we should take his history and the way he exited Minnesota into account with our interpretations?

I’m not a Stef white knight like most of the folks in here, but I actually didn’t have that come across to me like a shot at Allen or the pass or whatever. I took it as “this close.” Imo, much worse was MVS indicating to Mahomes that a pass was slightly behind him after like single-handedly losing 3 games for the Chiefs

The same thing they did last year

They won’t pick it up.

It’s quite expensive for a bad QB who can’t pass.

I felt VERY strongly about addressing the WR room last year for the eventual Davis and then Diggs replacement, and Brandon Beane drafted a TE, an OG and a backup weakside linebacker. And signed Sherfield and Harty in FA I don’t know what’s going on in Beane’s head but it’s clear he and I are not on the same page.

Everyone is free to consume their entertainment in any way they wish, but I personally find it odd. I think the tales are lacking if you don’t pay attention to the rest of the league.

Hope you’re right. I’ll believe it when they read the name on the card.

I want them to go best WR available in round 1. I have a sneaky suspicion that Beane will believe WR isn’t as dire of a need as I do because he is the same guy that thought Trent and Harty were good investments and will consider other positions depending on how the board falls. If that happens, my blood pressure will be in trouble.

Honest question. Do you pay attention the NFL as a whole? Or just follow the Bills?

I’ve been saying this for years, get an original take!

@eball would blame the fans for saying he sucked and driving down his trade value.

I was first AND my topic title was better. Double whammy

This guy was worthless all along. Bears fans and maybe the org deluding themselves he was gonna get Darnold love.

I actually think Jax overpaid Armstead and Davis and will regret both those moves.
