No such thing, unless you put energy into believing it. Diggs would be fine in #11 because Diggs can play. 13 hours ago, 947 said: I sure hope Diggs takes #14, I have an old Sammy jersey that could use a new nameplate. He might want a new number to go along with his new start. 1

Ennjay Posted March 21, 2020 Posted March 21, 2020 I can honestly and sincerely share with all of you that I had completely forgotten that Ray Ray McCloud was currently a Buffalo Bill. I'm also supremely confident that I'm not the only one. Are we sure that he is? 1

purple haze Posted March 21, 2020 Posted March 21, 2020 It always amazes me how disrespectful and dismissive people are of Ray Ray McLoud or any pro athlete. He might not be as good as others on the NFL level, but he is on the NFL level; that takes a lot of talent and a hell of a lot of hard work and perseverance. The dude who is a "bench warmer" on, or gets cut from, your favorite pro teams would smash you and 95% of players in their sport. 2

RyanC883 Posted March 21, 2020 Posted March 21, 2020 I want Diggs to get it. Also, my 7 yr old is a huge Bills fan. He is no 14 in Lax and is pumped at getting Diggs number. (his friend got no. 88–which is the number of his fav bills player, “DaAwsome Knox”) as he calls him. 1
Freddie's Dead Posted March 21, 2020 Posted March 21, 2020 RayRay ain't making the team, so this is only a preseason problem. 1

MrEpsYtown Posted March 21, 2020 Posted March 21, 2020 I’m not sure a person on a “futures” deal really warrants any kind of jersey choice. 1

I don't believe in curses, in general. Diggs is a better WR than Roscoe or Zay. Johnson wasn't great. Bledsoe was okay. I'm expecting Diggs to be dynamite no matter what number he wears because he's an explosive player, has been and should continue to be, if Josh does his job. 1

But I can rock with your numbers. I just hate to see the outright disrespect of players. It's hard as hell to even get a tryout to be considered for an invite to rookie camp, OTA, training camp, let alone actually be invited to camp or stick on a practice squad. 1

I ? agree with everything you said Fringe players and Practice squaders have one of the toughest jobs in sports. No love and constantly have coaches and people riding you First one in , last out and most get cut 2

I have a warm spot for RayRay after learning he was the guy chosen to simulate Lamar Jackson on the scout team. Since we did a pretty durn good job shutting down the Ravens, I give RayRay props for that. 1

Not if he tried to do the jobs that the 99.9% of fans who think he's a scrub (he is). Were Ryan Leaf and Jamarcus Russell (just 2 of a huge list of NFL busts) better than "95%" of the Div 1 guys who didn't make it to the NFL? No. A scrub is a scrub. Anyone in any line of work can identify a scrub in their workplace. So it's OK for them to identify one in another workplace. Reduce the hero worship.
