Diggs is a shadow of himself. 

 

He has been playing like a middling WR since about week 10. Unless he is hurt and that is the reason why he has been so poor, we are stuck with a horrible contract.

He is supposed to have hurt his foot. His problem tonight was his hands.  He dropped 2 big passes. He also fumbled one one of his few catches.

Diggs is an elusive route runner and very good at finding space in zones, but he doesn't really have the elite speed or physicality to get consistent separation against many of the top corners of opposing defenses when in man defense.  We need to find that #1 so Diggs can shift over to #2.

I thought this was a bs post at first, but i was wrong. he really was poor today. big game players are supposed to show in big games and he didn't. 

 

we've had his family criticising the team mid season.

 

and, as someone said elsewhere, forcing the ball to him cost us easy games this year

 

yeah, i owe the OP an apology. he was right and i was wrong. diggs really hasn't delivered this season - not as a player nor as a captain

Loved his attitude and fire but you have to back it up on the field. He came up with his worst game in only the biggest game of the year.

 

In retrospect, he just looks like a loud mouthed idiot on the sidelines.

I'm kind of hoping that we hear about some injury Diggs has been nursing since mid-season that he can recover from. Because otherwise he's cooked, and he has a huge cap hit that we can't get out of because it's already had salary converted to bonus to reduce cap a couple times.

Beane’s biggest mistakes have been his contract restructurings. He’s done it with Diggs and Miller and countless others. Now there’s no easy out from either one.

Yes there is. Just cut them. Take the lumps/cap hits and move on. What’s the difference really. We’re not winning with them so the rationale is to just hold on to them for contractual reasons? 
 

Cut them and just put back ups or young rookies in.

Because cutting them will mean we ultimately have to cut some other players we may not want to.

Like who?  Who is that one guy we’d have to cut because of Diggs and Miller that we just can’t live without?

I don’t know but you do realize that there is a salary cap and cutting Diggs and Miller would mean a very large cap hit (not just their yearly salary) would have to be overcome.

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. Cut the roster dead weight, take the financial hit and move on.

You do that when you believe that the window of opportunity is open right now. Sometimes you're the Rams and it works. Most of the time it doesn't. Now we're stuck with some bad contracts for guys who may still be productive (Diggs is, and I actually believe Miller will be next year) but are clearly in their decline phases.

You don't cut a player of value, and Diggs has value

 

I can see the argument that you take your medicine for a year and deal him and take the cap hit if it nets you something of real value back, but I'm not cutting our best WR by far for nothing except cap space the year after next.

 

That's insanely stupid

Just can't have this from your #1 WR. And I'd like to say it is a new problem, but Diggs has disappeared in all of our playoff losses. Diggs has been a #1 until this year but he is not a true alpha physical #1 like Hill, Jefferson, Brown, etc. We need to strive for better.
