CorkScrewHill Posted October 8, 2020 Posted October 8, 2020 this person did a really nice job cobbling together videos that show pretty conclusively what a great team guy we got in spite of the criticisms of him from Vikings fans. It had comments from former Vikings teammates and comments from Bills starting with pre-training camp through the regular season. It really shows that you must be careful with narratives that are painted of people. It is long and includes lots of related videos .. so if you have time enjoy .... https://www.buffalorumblings.com/2020/10/8/21503008/stefon-diggs-all-heart-little-ego-buffalo-bills 1 1 8
Doc Posted October 8, 2020 Posted October 8, 2020 With any new player, there's a honeymoon period. However with Josh's ascendance, I think he's going to like his time in Buffalo. 2 1

Great read. Especially loved reading about his DM to Mitch Matthews. True leadership and lives passionately. Sucks that it took him becoming a bills fan for me to truly appreciate all that he is.
PrimeTime101 Posted October 8, 2020 Posted October 8, 2020 if i new Diggs was going to Make Josh this damn good.. and vice-versa I would of never of questioned this trade.. Im eating a little crow but the bacon is making it taste much better.
blacklabel Posted October 8, 2020 Posted October 8, 2020 I think Diggs would get frustrated in Minnesota because he knew he could help his team win and it seemed like there were weeks where he just wasn't involved in the offense. Whether that's the patented "let's draft a WR 4th overall and then use him as a decoy!" method created by Doug Whaley and Rex Ryan or they just didn't know how to get him in the mix then yeah, I'd see why he's frustrated. I also think he felt like certain teammates didn't match his passion for winning and the game in general. I'd also probably have a difficult time getting along with Kirk Cousins. Guy is a friggin' toolbag.

Guy is a friggin' toolbag. I think all you have to do is watch what Daboll has done with Diggs versus the offense in Minnesota. We're leading the league in 10 personnel usage and Diggs is lining up all over the place. JA clearly has supreme competence in Diggs because he keeps making small window throws in his direction and getting rewarded. They are throws that maybe 5 other guys in the NFL even try and Cousins ain't one of 'em. People use the term "Diva" because we've started marginalizing actual competitors. It's a sad state of affairs. 1

Doesn't seem to be happening yet. That's dumb just on the face of it. Last year John Brown had a career year, getting 1,060 yards and 6 TDs in 15 games. That would be Diggs' 2nd best season in the NFL and it was before Josh became a far better passer. Edited October 8, 2020 by Doc 1 1
JoPoy88 Posted October 8, 2020 Posted October 8, 2020 The problem in Minn always was (and still is) Cousins, not Diggs. People here doubting that were just mystery box chasers who didn’t like that we gave up the picks.

Laugh if you want about “culture” but this administration has always developed a good rapport/communication with players. 2. Josh Allen - a great leader with a strong arm who isn’t afraid to target WR’s. 3. The Buffalo WR room. Joining a position group with vets like Brown, Beasley, and Robert along with young players like Davis helped set the tone. All in all it’s been a good move for Diggs

Don Otreply Posted October 9, 2020 Posted October 9, 2020 I’m lookin at the Bills and Vikings records, I’m thinking the Bills flat out got the better result with that trade, 😁👍 Go Bills!!!

hondo in seattle Posted October 9, 2020 Posted October 9, 2020 I didn't get caught up in the diva hype. When we traded for Diggs, I googled him and found a lot of good comments about the guy from his ex-teammates and ex-coaches. There were a couple themes: nobody works harder than Stefon and nobody wants to win more. Nearly all the negative diva, crybaby crap was coming from the media, not his teammates or the other people who knew him best. BillsFanChick does a beautiful job here refuting all the talking heads who didn't like the trade and didn't like the man. There's inherently a lot of good in Diggs but I also agree that the team and culture and McD has built probably brings out the very best in Diggs, too.
Ramza86 Posted October 9, 2020 Posted October 9, 2020 Diggs to Buffalo has given me a little of the same vibe as Jimmy Butler to the Heat.
