    not surprised by the move.  a bit surprised there was a trade partner.  his salary is immense for the production he put out last season along with his age.   not going to pretend to know what was going on behind the scenes at OBD,  but,  Diggs was a pro,  a team captain,  took a pounding and always showed up,  until recently.  maybe he wanted out,  maybe he dogged it a bit to force his way out.   we do know that he wants to play with his brother,  so moving onto Texas at least gets him closer.  ty for your time here Stefon,  was exciting nearly every week.

     

    to all those that see this as an incoming homerun swing into the top 5 to nab a receiver,   be careful,  receiver is the hardest spot to transition from college to the pros.  top guys flame out or take years to produce,  all the time.   sure theres been a handful of guys lately that were plug and play,  but thats not the norm.  short of  grabbing Harrison Jr,  i wouldnt even bother.  ideally what you want to do is exactly what Beane did those years ago with Diggs,  you want to find an established guy 1 or 2 years into showing consistency,  and trade for that.   the draft is a crap shoot.

    That's maybe how it used to be.  Rookie WR are taking the feature roll all over the league now.

    You are insane if you think these guys aren't on PEDs. There are many that are WAY better than they were back in the day AND most untrackable in blood/ test levels. Don't ask me how I know because I will not explain. 

    It's a cat and mouse game.  New methods of cheating the system lead to new methods of testing which lead to new methods for cheating which lead to new methods of testing…and on and on.  In the end they catch up to it.

    what? He already had surgery didn’t he? It doesn’t take that long to heal that. He played through it in post season and was dominant at times


    I noticed that last night but didn’t feel like pouring more ridicule on myself😂 so thanks for posting!

    On Feb. 13, two days after the 49ers’ 25-22 overtime loss to Kansas City in Super Bowl LVIII, the four-time team captain agreed when asked if he will require a more “involved” meniscus procedure. He said his recovery could extend into at least late July when the 49ers report for training camp.

     

    Based on Armstead’s outlook, it’s very likely he required a meniscus repair, which, for those with meniscus injuries, is a less common procedure that results in a longer recovery.

     The recovery timeline for a repair is often 4-6 months.
