Stef Diggs signs with the Pats!

I have no ill will towards Stef. He was a big help in the accelerated development of a raw Joshua F’n Allen. Yeah, he became a cancer so bad that Beane took a 31 million dead cap hit to get rid of him, but we actually got a 2nd which I thought was nuts. Now he goes to the Pat* with a bum wheel, takes a crap ton of their money, and who knows when he will be up to speed. Good for him.

 

I don’t think he will be a cancer in NE, he just won’t live up to that contract and he will be gone after 2. It will be interesting to see how Drake develops. He looked good as a rookie but so did CJ Stroud. Now that teams have a year of tape on him they will take away what he likes to do. We will see how he responds.

 

 

I have huge ill will towards him. He had the audacity to start drama and criticize his fellow teammates/coaches for absolutely NO reason. Led the league in most receiving categories during his 4 year stint here and was top 5 in targets during that time. Was well taken care of in the financial department as well. Then he drops an absolute dime by Josh that could’ve swung the Chiefs game in our favor and does he blame himself? Of course not. He actually thinks he’s the reason for Josh Allen’s success while Josh just won an MVP with a motley crew of rag tag wide receivers.
 

Diggs is a joke and will never again in his life come near the numbers he had while in Buffalo. He’s so oblivious that he doesn’t even realize who the common denominator is. It’s always everyone else’s fault. I can’t stand people like that because they exist in my regular day to day life and I don’t feel like dealing with it during my one day a week escape from reality. F him and the horse he rode in on.
 

I used to give him credit for Josh’s development, but it was McDermott & Daboll who taught him how to be a true professional. Allen would’ve reached these heights with or without that little drama queen. You better be Terrell Owens if you are coming with that type of baggage.

He don’t get a lot of things right 

If Diggs tore Achilles his career might've been in jeopardy as a WR.  Cousins and Rodgers looked like shelves of their former selves and they played QB.

Boy you seem really butt hurt about going back in forth with me, huh. I know your type so i just left you alone but since you want the attention.

 

 

i was wrong about what his injury was. I know you were waiting for that,   so have your victory lap now, you won the internet for the day. (slow clap by me)

 

what i was referring to when talking about his "success" was his RETURN TO THE FIELD...He was able to come back and start the next season with his team..i was not talking about pro bowls, or playoff birth or great stats when referring to Aaron Rodgers return..

 

so you got your choc chip cookie what else you got that you trying so hard to hold over my head just because i dare have a different opinion than you?

It not the same injury so Rodgers is not a very good comparison at all.  
 

But if you want to compare… the start of the season was some of Rodgers worst football and many attributed it to his torn ACL…I mean Achilles.

 

Third, post injury Rodgers never returned to the level he was at during 2022 - which was a  diminished version of the QB he had been a few seasons before.  

 

This is why many of us didn’t see the signing move the needle much for New England, unlike some who want to pretend Diggs is the player he was.  
 

I look forward to your response which will surely include “….but I said he might not work out!”

Diggs might have success as a top-tier slot, but his days as a true #1 are over. Hopefully he accepts that role and ages gracefully, but we all know he won’t !

You truly don't read my posts just assume.

 

 

I acknowledge I got the injury wrong when bring him up. I was talking about him returning to the field, recovery. That was the point I was trying to making. Wrong injury so I can't use him.

 

I didn't say anything else about Rodgers and I never said Diggs now make the Pats a contender...you don't read my post you just assume and go with it. Try reading what is said it will help out and stop assuming

 

 

And I am looking for this "list" of all the things I got wrong and all you did was bring up Rodgers injury. Ha ha do better

He has been dead to me for quite some time.  Patriots?  Bring it on.

They definitely need one of their young WR's to take a major leap this year.

Being hyper sensitive to criticism is not the way to garner any respect around here.  Just so you know.

We can count on patriots at bills being a prime time game 

I wouldn't be shocked if this becomes the Bills home opener and that it'll be on prime time.

They might have the least impressive WR group in the NFL. If I had to put money on one, it would be Kayshon Boutte. He’s really the only guy I remember making big catches and got downfield.

It's sarcasm...I have been  posting here for years. I am cool with enough fans on here so the others I could care less about

I hope so. Getting the Pats early with a new coaching staff and a young QB and their best WR still working back from an ACL tear, that is the best case scenario.

I’d be shocked if it’s on prime time… unless it’s one of those double-header Monday nights.

Seems an odd place for the diva! Who freaked about the Bills because they couldn’t win the big one.. as if he was separate from it. Texans made sense. Pats in a rebuild is a $$$ grab. But who other than them were going to offer those $$$. If he really wanted to win he signs a one year deal for $ 8m-10m ..nope it’s fooling the weak.

Well there is a difference between FA signings and rookie deal extensions. Players that enter FA are 99% of the time taking the most money offered. Players signing a year early on their rookie deal are accepting a little less than market value to protect themselves against injury over that final year.

 

Don't you see you are just actually confirming my point, that players do not always prioritize the most money?  I mean, they are literally prioritizing something other than the most money by agreeing to take less money in exchange for security.  

 

And Josh Allen was already highly paid, he didn't have to take less money.  Greg Rousseau was on a first round rookie deal, he could have played and gone for a lot more money as a FA.  Sure, Shakir and Bernard were on day 3 contracts, but they both could have also insisted on more money to sign now than they took.  

 

Point is...players don't always make getting the most money the top priority.  We just watched 4 guys of our own make something else the priority.  I am not disagreeing that more often than not, athletes will prioritize money over winning, but it's not all athletes all the time that was originally stated by another poster.

That's why they call it a premium position.  I do wonder if they'll play him more in the slot than outside.  It was about a 50/50 split in Houston last year.

 

I am sure they will. McDaniels' offense works inside to out in any event.
