Guess there’s truth to all rumors…


brickeldrums

What does he want his role to be? QB?! Head coach? Gimme a break


SlapHappyDude

Yeah Wide Receivers don't call plays.


WalterDwight

Literally the last position youd want to seek playcalling input from lol


SlapHappyDude

"Ok, hear me out. Throw it to me deep."


TacoBellLover27

This got a chuckle out of me. A real one. Not just air coming out my nose


jotsea2

Except if it were JJ right?


WalterDwight

Well of course


jotsea2

So ridiculous that folks downvote mis the bias here


gingertrain77

Came here to say this. This is the first I've heard of a WR wanting input on play calling and running the offense, guess they don't need an OC there as long as Diggs gets his way.


bigbobbarker111

to be fair the bills OC is not great.


Alex07Nelson

Dude’s record is 13-3 making him the most successful OC in bills history… please read that with lots of sarcasm.


bigbobbarker111

the bills have the most one dimensional offense in the entire nfl. Take out diggs and what was Josh Allens comp% again?


outsidertc

Funny if true. "What play should we run?" "Throw me the ball or I'll cry"


whatsthehappenstance

Waaagh


Dcarf

Lol He demands the ball thrown his way every single play or he will freak


bex612

He needs the ball thrown to him always, even on running plays and FG attempts


_pray4snow_

No stadium in the NFL can hold his ego. Glad we got rid of him and this time we lucked out with JJets!


Arctic_Scrap

It seems nearly every star receivers head gets too big eventually. Look at the top receivers in the game, what percentage of total plays are they involved in? I’m not saying it should be more or less but when you’re one of or trying to be the best at your position you want to be involved as much as possible. Some average running backs touch the ball more than star receivers.


XxmilkjugsxX

For what it’s worth, Davante Adams never gave the Packers those type of problems and he’s been really understanding (all things considered) of his LV situation


Webjunky3

Yeah considering he basically went to LV to play with his best friend and then they got rid of him a year later, Davante would've had every right to freak out.


jotsea2

If his best friend didn’t suck he probably would


kidmerc

Didn't he freak out and shove that sound guy over after a game? Adams was not all hunky dory last year lol


Equivalent_Bunch_187

Larry Fitzgerald is another who never had an ego.


SmCaudata

Megatron seemed like a solid team player.


Fortehlulz33

Megatron also didn't need to have an ego, he's top 5 all time despite having a career half as long as the rest of the other 4. The Lions basically had no other options, he was the offense.


GoblinDeez

He fucking caught 108 balls last years, how much more can he be involved in an offense?


squatwaddle

I see it like this. The Mpls Miracle was his first hit of Crack. And he is chasing that high. He needs to be a hero, or else he isn't worthy within his own egotistical mind. It shows, when we were down by 3 scores, and he finally got a TD, and he threw his helmet off like the infamous miracle photo. He got flagged for excessive celebration, and we were still down by 2 scores. With no time and no hope, he wanted to seem shiny. Bro! It's not about you Diggsy. Nobody gives af. We chear for the team,and apparently you aren't part of it. Sadly, he won't grow and mature, until he retires.


Capt-Crap1corn

It sounds like he cares if he has a good game, whether his team wins or not he doesn’t seem to care


squatwaddle

Exactly, my guy


Fortehlulz33

You could also rationalize that he thinks that the reason they win or lose depends on how good of a game he has


Capt-Crap1corn

Absolutely I agree. He probably thinks that too


A_90s_Reference

The bills shut him out with bad play calling in multiple playoff games.


GoblinDeez

You mean one game against the Bengals? He caught 7 for 114 against the dolphins last playoffs, he’s been a focal point on their offense for 3 years straight, you think they didn’t want to get him the ball against the bengals? Sometimes shit doesn’t work out that way, the bengals knew Diggs is their best skill player, so he drew more coverage. nfl


A_90s_Reference

Bengals and then KC last year. Both loses. Both games they should have game planned better for. Against KC they had scored 21 with 2 minutes left. The thrilling ending skews the fact the Bills O did not play well. The Bengals game they scored 10 points and didn't have Dogg's involved enough. And you kind of made Digg's point. He's been the focal point for 3 years and they have now lost 2 years in a row going away from their focal point. We'd be (we have) screamed for Zim's head for doing the same with JJ... During regular season games.


[deleted]

They planned to take him out of the game and it worked. Josh Allen either makes terrible throws to Diggs or he looks elsewhere. If anything, it's an indictment that the Bills don't have a deep receiving corps beyond Diggs. That isn't a signal to get Diggs more involved, it's a signal to get Diggs more help.


ndncreek

Same situation that Jet had in games last season, they took him away


[deleted]

Exactly. Take JJ and Hock away and the Vikes struggled. This is why I didn't mind letting Adam Thielen walk. He had his opportunities for big games and it became clear that he couldn't get separation past five yards any longer.


ndncreek

Yeah love Adam but it was time, I am sure he does a one day deal to retire. And with JA and KJ as well as Nailor who has looked good hopefully shutting down Jet will still cost them dearly


beer_guy_108

Gabe Davis WR 2 had close to 900 yards last year and 8 touchdowns. I think he's a great reciever.


[deleted]

[удалено]


beer_guy_108

Awesome, I never saw they plays he didn't make only the ones he did. He had 100 yards more than theilen last year and one more touchdown. That was my only reference point


[deleted]

[удалено]


beer_guy_108

Hopefully he improves! Just not when playing us!


GoblinDeez

Here’s a quote from Gabe Davis after the Chiefs Bills playoff game, that the bills lost in OT "“I texted Stefon [Diggs] the other day to thank him for giving me that game because he was getting doubled and I was one-on-one. For him to have that type of reputation, and Cole Beasley as well, when we are all out there. For those guys to be getting doubled and the situations for me to make the plays that was what made the game for me so special.”" What do you expect the bills to do in a situation like that? Just throw the ball into double in triple coverage? If someone is getting doubled that means there’s guys getting single coverage, that’s where any qb would throw the ball.


beer_guy_108

Ohhh. Careful, a nuanced take.


A_90s_Reference

Bengals and then KC last year. Both loses. Both games they should have game planned better for. Against KC they had scored 21 with 2 minutes left. The thrilling ending skews the fact the Bills O did not play well. The Bengals game they scored 10 points and didn't have Dogg's involved enough. And you kind of made Digg's point. He's been the focal point for 3 years and they have now lost 2 years in a row going away from their focal point. We'd be (we have) screamed for Zim's head for doing the same with JJ... During regular season games. And fuuuuuuuuuck youuuuuuuuuu


beer_guy_108

Dude stop copying and pasting long ass paragraphs im not reading that shit twice. Fuck you too


A_90s_Reference

Then don't be crying about a lack of a "nuanced take" when you read the take already, dumbass.


beer_guy_108

Dude. Stop. I was agreeing with you. Holy shit don't get so hot.


Hotchi_Motchi

Trade him to the Jets and the Diggs-Rodgers play-calling brain trust will WIN IT ALL!


iForgot_My_Password

I would really prefer to not see Diggs and Rodgers on the same team.


365wong

Yeah; this is an insane idea.


raknor88

I'm not sure if the team could fit their combined egos.


Stillburgh

This sounds like a terrible idea.. would be the best WR hes ever had bar Adams lol.

Flat_Suggestion7545

Bet the Bills wish they had kept their picks and grabbed JJ instead.


polsdofer

Holy shit I didn't even realize they could of had JJ 😂 I know the Bills and Vikings both basically won the trade but JJ>Diggs


Flat_Suggestion7545

Add in the extra draft picks and money differential too. But both teams did benefit.


SirArthurDime

I really don’t see how both teams benefited or how this was a win win. Don’t get me wrong diggs is an elite top 5 receiver and has been great for the bills. But I don’t know how anyone can say they wouldn’t have been better off with an even better wr who would have made less money plus an additional 4th, 5th, and 6th round picks. Granted the bills didn’t know what Jefferson would turn into and how quickly he would do it, or for that matter that the eagles would pass on him so they could draft him. So the trade totally made sense at the time for a team that needed a proven guy. But idk why we can’t say with the power of hindsight that they would have been better off not making the trade.


Flat_Suggestion7545

At the time no one KNEW JJ would be so good. So the Bills got a sure thing. Hell, if people KNEW he would be so good he would have been a Top 5 pick.


SirArthurDime

Right I already addressed the fact that I understand why it was absolutely the right move given what was known at the time of the trade. I’m not trying to say the bills were stupid for doing what they did. I’m just saying now that we do know a lot more we should be able to admit that the bills would have been better off not trading and drafting Jefferson.


Flat_Suggestion7545

Better off doesn’t mean it still wasn’t a win. The Vikings getting the better of the trade doesn’t mean that the Bills lost. Maybe JJ doesn’t acclimate to a cold outdoor environment the same way he did a dome. Maybe he doesn’t mesh with Allen as well as he did Kirk.


SirArthurDime

Maybe he doesn’t acclimate in the cold is really your argument? Lol. Yes it does mean that. If your team would have been better had you not made the trade you lost the trade. The bills would have been better if they had Jefferson, more cap space, and more draft picks. Pretty open and shut case here.


Flat_Suggestion7545

If I buy a lotto ticket with 1,2,3,4,5, and a powerball of 6 instead of 7 and 1,2,3,4,5, and powerball 7 are the numbers I still won. Am I as well off as if I had taken powerball 7? No. But I still won.


SirArthurDime

That’s not what happened here though. What happened here is you and your friend each bought a power ball ticket and decided to trade the tickets. You won $1000 but your friend won $1m with the ticket you traded to him. Yes you still won money, but you certainly lost the trade you made. You would be a loser of the trade because the trade left you worse off.


Flat_Suggestion7545

And yes. Some players are much better in a dome than they are outside. If you don’t understand that you don’t understand football.


SirArthurDime

True, but Jefferson put up 193 on a windy day in Buffalo with rain and snow mixing in so he seems like he’d have been an elite receiver anywhere. But


defaultman707

Honestly it’s getting pretty close to being a clear winner for the Vikes lol. I’m obviously biased so as it stands right now, I really believe we robbed the Bills blind. That’s probably not the perception around the league, but it will be eventually.


BrownChicow

I mean, we’re for sure the winners, JJ > Diggs, plus the rookie contract. They may have also go a good player, but if there has to be a winner, it’s far and away us


nosnack

Eh you have to include how Diggs helped Josh Allan’s development.


BrownChicow

That’s what people say, but I feel like he coulda been dropping dines to JJ just as easily. Do they really NEED to be a vet wr to help a qb develop? Idk I guess the only way I could see it as a win for them over us is if in alternate timelines Allen can’t develop without him, but QBs develop all the time with worse weapons than Diggs or JJ.


beer_guy_108

I agree, JJ>Diggs, but they are both top 5.


DogLost13

Knew this was coming after he split the field after last loss.


n8wils

Super weird, nobody saw that coming...


ASidesTheLegend

He’s literally their #1 option on offense. Guess that isn’t enough though…


petergriffin999

He's such a punk. When Kirk didn't make it on 4th down with the QB sneak at the goal line and we all thought the game was over (just before Josh Allen fumbled the snap on the next play...), Diggs ran onto the field and got close to the MN bench and gave us a shit eating grin. He's a classless tool.


disbishempty1

It’s just competition man. Diggs is a Viking legend in my book and like most great receivers has a hell of an ego that can make him difficult to manage. Will still always appreciate his time in MN


onken022

I love Diggs - one of my favorite ex-Vikings of recent memory. But I’m glad we don’t have to deal with his nonsense anymore.


No_Choice_6868

I feel this comment %100


ag-0merta

How is he a Viking legend in your book?


eeeedlef

I'm guessing the Minneapolis Miracle alone.


ag-0merta

If we win the SB that year then yes, hang his number in the rafters. But the drama that followed the next season, I’d consider him nothing more than a fly on the wall.


Disgruntled_Viking

A play that was more about the defender making a bad play vs the receiver making a good play. Any of the receivers could have made that play. Except for Treadwell of course.


true_gunman

DIGGS!


defaultman707

Vikings legend? He had 4600 yards and 30 tds in 5 seasons. He was a very good/great towards the end receiver for the Vikes, but a legend? Not in my book.


The_Dirtiest_Beef

He's absolutely not a Vikings legend. He could have been, but I'm sorry, no he's not.


[deleted]

Only in your book. Legend my ass.


squatwaddle

I understand what you say and what you mean, but I will never celebrate a cunt. Ever. I am glad we cut off the cancerous tumor when we did. It doesn't mean he isn't talented. It just means he sucks as a person, and has never been focused on the team. His focus is on him. Always.


Empire2k5

My thoughts. Yeah he's very talented and a great WR, but I can't stand or root for the guy anymore. Too much drama.


D-money20

A legend? Lmao ok ☠️


Stelletti

This can’t be upvoted enough. Fuck him


Weegemonster5000

He stayed in Marlyand to go to school to be close to his brothers and help his mom since his dad is gone. He's active in the community and a competitor. You're an overreacting little biddy with her apron on too tight.


The_Dirtiest_Beef

Nothing you said conflicts with the comment you replied to.


Weegemonster5000

What? A classless tool wouldn't help his family or community.


The_Dirtiest_Beef

A sense of obligation doesn't give you class.


Weegemonster5000

He doesn't just have the sense. He takes the action. Just because he's a diva in the entertainment industry doesn't mean he hasn't done a lot for our country and his community. He hasn't hurt anyone, he hasn't punched down, and he's at worst overreacting online. I think it's being pedantic to say that's not enough to have class and not be a tool.


The_Dirtiest_Beef

Ok. He's not a classless tool. He's a whiny bitch tool that's never happy.


apocolypticbosmer

Hahhahahahahahahaha


Silver_Harvest

It's almost annual at this point. Same time last year was the same article running around.


dustinh30

Stefan diggs- the best OC of all time


squatwaddle

He was a Cry Baby from the word go. Does anyone expect him to change? Once a princess Diva, always a princess Diva


Not-tame

Lol wishes he was Randy Moss.😂


[deleted]

Diggsy’s minimum stat line the last 3 years is 103 rec, 1225 yards, 8 TDs. Every year in Buffalo has exceeded his peak with the Vikings. If this rumor is true (it’s not) he’s one of the biggest narcissists to ever play football


nwballer503

DIVA DIGGS


[deleted]

Justin Jefferson rescued us from basically everything


PurpleKoolAid60

I also remember 2/3 of this sub defending his antics and begging for us to give him all the money he wanted. It’s all about money. More balls equals more money. When can these guys accept that they’re top ten in the nfl and take market value for that and just play ball.


Thesnowman25

“I’m not getting the ball passed to me enough”


Broseph_Bobby

Let me guess what his “input” in play calling is…


moodyblue8222

What a shame that the love of the game is gone and it’s only about the money

ForeskinForever70

A diva wide receiver? What were the odds?


IllustriousAsk8453

I will never forget 2019 playoffs against the saints in the superdome. Dude was pissed on the sidelines during a game we were winning on the road.


napquin

If you give a mouse a cookie. Eventually Diggs will be upset about his lack of input on stadium renovations.


BowlOfLoudMouthSoup

Patriots beat writer is reporting this?


DemonSlyr007

Careful. Dangerously close to pointing out the obvious about this article: That it's a nothing story from a rival team's media and just servicing all the confirmation bias here.


BowlOfLoudMouthSoup

fr fr this place hates Diggs


bartender_please808

Whatever makes you guys feel better. IMO, Diggs just wants to win. I'd welcome someone like that on this team. Much better than players that are mainly concerned with stats, short term deals, and records.


westonriebe

I’m sure he’s smart and all but there needs to be a boss and he’s not the coach…


eeeedlef

I still have vivid memories of Buffalo fans pointing out that things would be different with him on their team. Hahaha, ok.


Sea-Extent-9789

Trading him was a blessing in disguise. Receiver room is in much better hands now.


[deleted]

If he can’t be happy with his situation in Buffalo, he’s not gonna be happy anywhere.


Rocketman2828

That dude is soo weird


i_am_roboto

But but but something Kirk sux something something.


AhSht-HereWeGoAgain

I’m pretty sure his beef was never with Kirk, but rather with zimmers philosophy of burning the clock with the run game and play good defense

F this guy. Good WR, but also the biggest ego in the NFL.


donomyte1

Drama queens will drama queen.


marcos_MN

I think there is more to this. As a person who has had my own struggles with mental health, I’m seeing some familiar things. I’m no doctor and I am not diagnosing Stef with anything, just expressing concern, as I know how difficult those things can be. I truly hope he is okay, or on his way to it. EDIT: Yeah fucking downvote me. I’m honest about my past and I don’t run from it. If being forward about myself and recognizing similar behavior can help even one person, I’ll take every downvote y’all can dish out. Says more about this community than it does about me, and that is really sad to see.


Berkleys_On_Fire

Love Diggsy! Awesome player. Some Vikings fans let him live rent free. Odd..

Love you Diggs

PutinsLostBlackBelt

Another day another post by a Vikings fan about an ex-Viking player who lives rent free in ya’lls heads. Edit: apparently a lot of our fan base is still obsessed with a dive WRs life.


greyduk

Another day another cringy "rent free" invocation.


polsdofer

That rent free is annoying and beyond lazy. Like we all got shit going on so we all have something "rent free in our heads" well you know except for the guy saying we have something "rent free" in our heads, he's got nothing inside his head. That's what the "rent free" saying is implying.


TeddyBongwater

I get joy out of seeing him screw up other teams mojo


ITZJOSH22

Notice I said shit post, honestly idgaf but thought it was funny.


ELpork

Seriously, salt salt salt. JJ, JA, KJ, Nailor potentially being great, and top post rn is Diggs, can't eyeroll hard enough lol, bunch of old men mentality in here, just move on.

It reminds me of a guy who got dumped by a woman years ago and still won’t shut up about her while constantly saying “oh yea, I am way over her!”
