Just stop. Obviously I can’t really speculate on the press that covers other teams, but if Buffalo is one of the best, then there must be an awful lot of terrible ones 2

BillsNutHawaii Posted June 23, 2023 Posted June 23, 2023 Stefon Diggs, what a GREAT leader! Probably my favorite player - mentally tough (Exactly what a majority of the Bills are missing), + completely devoted to the team, the game and our fans. I can honestly say, I would go to war with this guy (I served 26 years in the US Army, served in a variety of leadership roles and supporting deployments - that doesn't make me right on this subject, but I think it says something good about Stefon). I just love his leadership, which probably doesn't come across as refined sometimes - but I suspect he doesn't have any formal leadership training. However, I can clearly see he has all the intangibles of a great leader! Mental toughness, endurance, totally dedicated, loyal, says and does what's right - even when others challenged by others. I am going to miss him - I strongly suspect these trade rumors are spot on / accurate and are feelers put out by insiders at One Bills Drive to protect the management (GM, et al) in case things dont work out. Right circumstances - probably something which mostly mitigates any financial / salary cap catastrophe + gets some receiving help in return. I just read the Denver Broncos are interested here. So (only my thoughts, speculation here) .... Jerry Jeudy? Plus some salary cap compensation ? .....TBD. I hate the thought of him leaving but I sense its going to happen - hope I'm wrong. 1 3
SCBills Posted June 23, 2023 Posted June 23, 2023 (edited) The only reason I give these rumors any credence is because I do suspect this may be a Josh Allen / Stefon Diggs issue. And if that’s, for whatever reason, irreparable.. Diggs won’t be long for the squad. Edited June 23, 2023 by SCBills 1

Couldn't disagree more with your comments. First, this rumor is not close to being true. Secondly, I wouldn't consider him much of a leader at all. Quite the opposite actually. He's selfish and puts his own interests ahead of the team when he feels like it, with no concern about the disruption caused to the team. That's not a leader. Great WR though. 2 4

It's pretty common knowledge that the team didn't put forth it's best efforts in multiple facets of the game. He's competitive and wants to win, not just regular season like some, but playoffs, and he too like Allen and most others wants a Championship. Since we don't have all the info it's difficult to really make a determination as to the reality of it all. Is he pissed at coaching miscues and other SNAFUs? Does he really want the ball more? That's a little difficult to imagine other than that he had double-digit targets 6 times in his first 9 games but only thrice in his last nine games. First 9 he averaged 11 targets/game, last 9 he averaged just over 8/game, but 9 & 10 in the two playoff games, included in that last 9. until we know it's difficult to pin it down. Always nice to have all the info first. I'm not holding my breath that we'll ever get it. LOL 1

Southern_Bills Posted June 23, 2023 Posted June 23, 2023 Under the right circumstances I would be willing to purchase the Bills outright from the Pegulas. Now we aren't going to talk about this certain set of circumstances, just know it may be true 🤣 1
NewEra Posted June 23, 2023 Posted June 23, 2023 A “new report”. What report? From who? There was no report- it’s just a statement this smells like ****

He's selfish and puts his own interests ahead of the team when he feels like it, with no concern about the disruption caused to the team. That's not a leader. Great WR though. A few things, (In response to your quotes): - "First, this rumor is not close to being true." I stated, "I strongly suspect..." What inside information do you have to validate / invalidate what's being reported? Do you work for the team? Are you an agent? Family member / close friend of Stefon Diggs? Not even close to being true" - that's one hell of a definitive statement for someone to make. What makes your assessment more accurate than mine? - "Secondly, I wouldn't consider him much of a leader at all. Quite the opposite actually." Again, what''s your assessment based on? I stated what my assessment is based on (My work experience in a demanding field for 26 years). What is yours based on ? How do you know ? - "He's selfish and puts his own interests ahead of the team when he feels like it, with no concern about the disruption caused to the team." Hmmm, Prior to each game, he engages with the fan base. He's served as a "Captain" on the team each year he's been in Buffalo (Voted on by his teammates no less) He makes a lot of charitable contributions (Nationally and locally to the residents of Buffalo). He's absolutely consistent in his performance on the field. He always encourages his teammates to do better, to be better. And to you, "That's not a leader." Interesting. I would like to know what your leadership credentials and experience are - to validate your assessments. 3 minutes ago, NewEra said: A “new report”. What report? From who?

oldmanfan Posted June 23, 2023 Posted June 23, 2023 If Diggs’ issue is not getting the ball more good thing we didn’t sign Hopkins. He’d take a lot of Diggs targets away.
