    Poll: How do we feel about Stefon Diggs the player?

    Pretending is the only way your take makes any sense. Commanding targets is an indication of skill. It's also worth noting that Diggs catch percentage is over 9% higher.

    I'd love for one of you guys to pose an actual argument here based on numbers. So far it's just making excuses for the era in which Reed played, playing imaginary "what if" games, or when all that fails falling back on a general attack of my arguments in general (again with no supporting evidence).

    Of course, lost in all this is the fact that most of the board is trying to run Diggs down like he's a bum when all of the evidence shows that he was so good he outperformed the best WR Buffalo ever had before him, who is now on the Wall and in the Hall. It's such an insane amount of disrespect for a guy that never did anything but play 100% and never said or did a bad city to or about this city or its fans. It's disgusting.

     

    OK guys, time for you to start your own thread to argue who is the Bills best WR.

    Your poll options don’t really make sense because they aren’t mutually exclusive.

     

    I would say no hard feelings, time to move on from a declining player. I think the front office had planned to do this next offseason, but things got moved ahead of schedule.

     

    In terms of all time Bills greats, I would put Diggs in the second group with Lee Evans and Stevie Johnson. With Andre Reed and Eric Moulds being in the top group.

     

    I culled the options from the 150+ thread.  Yes, they are not mutually exclusive.  Diggs is complex, and hard to pin down.  Part of me is good riddance, but ultimately it was just time to move on.  It's why I also had an "Other" option, because I knew the poll options were imperfect.

    OK, we've all had to time to digest and cool off.  I wanted to cut through the 150-page thread to find out how we all feel about Stef Diggs as a player.  Forget the terms of the deal and all the rest of it, this is just where we stand on Diggs as a player.  I've listed 5 options that I pulled from the thread, read, or heard elsewhere, along with an Other option if I missed anything.

     

    My opinion, Stef Diggs is a good receiver, possibly in decline.  He couldn't get us over the hump, but I have no hard feelings.  I don't think he's a Wall of Famer, and certainly not the best Bills WR ever (surprising number of those in the 150+ thread, but Andre Reed says hi).  I'd invite him back as a legend of the game, but maybe 5+ years down the road.  Flame away!

    The idiotic challenge on the 9-yard pass on first down in the Denver game tore it for me.  Even if the challenge was successful, which it wasn't, gambling away that time out on a play that wasn't critical enough to challenge in the first place was the stupidest thing McDummy has done since 13 seconds.  We needed that timeout at the end, but we didn't have it.  He's reached his ceiling here, and I'm done with him.  I'll be more than happy to be wrong, but we never hoist the Lombardi as long as he is still the head coach.
