Ryan Clark - Tired of Diggs’ critics

[BillsFan619]

First Josh. Now someone in the national media. Good.
 

“So why not call it passion like we did with Tom Brady for 20+ years.”

This is so funny. Diggs threw a tablet on the ground in frustration. We saw Bilichick throw a phone and people just laughed about it. We saw Daboll throw a tablet last week and there were a few comments but nothing like this. This has been discussed everywhere, just a desperate attempt to keep the Allen Vs Diggs rhetoric going.

 

I swear between this and that singer Travis Kelce may or may not be screwing, and all the crap in between, the NFL is really nothing more than a bad reality TV show at this point with a few football games during the commercials

Clark is one of the good ones (there aren't many).

SICK & TIRED!!!!!

[Mango]

I mean, he stormed out of the building after the Bengals game. Then there was the whole hoopla around camp. The next time Brady or Bill refuse to meet with the team  after a bad game give me a call. 

 

I’m glad it’s going well. But this isn’t just about tossing a tablet. It’s about those two large gaffes and now everything else is being piled on. 
 

It doesn’t mean everything is a sign of something terrible happening. I think the London thing was a total nothing burger. But Stef has also done some things to create some smoke, so people are quick to yell fire.

I wish it would go away. I don’t think this moment was a big deal. But I also get why he is under the microscope. It is what it is. All we can do is create enough good credit to make it go away.

Finally, signs of intelligent life on this issue from a national media source.

[Ya Digg?]

With so many sports channels, podcasts, etc doing 24/7 coverage of the NFL they need something to talk about. Unfortunately it seems talking about Josh and Stef’s relationship and Diggs in general gets these outlets views and clicks. If it didn’t they wouldn’t talk about it. We know it’s overblown but nationally unfortunately it’s a story

I saw Ryan at the ASU vs USC game earlier this year. His boy plays DB for the Sun Devils. He came down our aisle to get to the seat near the sideline to give some love to his boy, slapped his helmet, “go get ‘em son. I love you”

 

Said hi to a bunch of us sitting there. 
Just a cool interaction I thought I’d post.

The Daboll tablet toss got a lot of attention in the local media. “As a fan, I love his passion. As a Coach, you have to do better. Especially with Daniel Jones.” That was the talking point on WFAN and the local twittersphere. They’re not wrong. For his passion, there’s a guy that gets intimidated by that, and underperforms. As a Coach, I see that in my kids. Some of the boys talk a lot, and they bark, and they get pumped up that way. Other boys don’t respond to that. They get into their own heads, and worry about that being directed at them if they screw up. Now, these are boys, and the NFL is grown ups, but Im not sure it’s all that different. 
 

I love it though. I love that Allen and Diggs are together. That’s very rare in this era of football. I’m glad it’s our guys!

I hate what social media has done to this sport. It’s becoming unbearable. Football used to be a break from reality.

Social media is one of the modern poisons for our society. It does more harm than people realize, including cheapening journalism.

[billieve420]

I don’t have an issue with Digg’s actions. He is passionate guy who wants to win. However, he has to realize it will result in questions being brought up not only to him but also his teammates/coaches which becomes a distraction.

I love this.  Don't even have to listen to it.  Just check all the comments.

Agree....contrived choreographed made up hype and convoluted stories have turned this fake Diggs saga into complete and utter nonsense.  Fake news sells so keep making sh it up for an insatiable society.  Clark is 100% right. I'll never doubt Stef's passion and competitive desire to win.

[Ray Stonada]

F the haterz

 

Diggs is a beast

 

Proud he’s a Bill 

[HappyDays]

Stef was immature on a few occasions in the offseason, I thought he deserved criticism then. But this story is flat out BS. Just normal sideline frustration from an extremely passionate football player. What, because Josh happened to be in the camera shot that means he's somehow connected? The media has gotten really weird.

Can we get past the "passion for winning" thing at some point?

 

There are more than a few better players in the league who don't resort to acts of drama (throwing helmets, tablets, shouting at QB) to reveal their passion.  Simply put, "the media" understands Diggs's MO....and he delivers for them.  Really, what else can Diggs expect from at this point??

 

Someone needs to tell him "yeah, we see the passion and appreciate it, but act like a pro".  It's clear this won't be McD.  Maybe Pegula calls him in or something.

Diggs is BASICALLY a member of this site. People on this site react the same way to certain things that Dorsey/McDermott/Beane does everyday with their comments. The only difference is that we don't constantly have a camera on us. 😎. I, personally, love his passion!!

What is "acting like a pro"? Brady threw tablets. Rodgers threw hissy fits on the sidelines. Jordan punched teammates in the face. Bird/Magic got into scrums and even got coaches fired. There is a "fire" that burns inside certain athletes that makes them the greats that they are. There is no amount of talks the will extinguish that.

all 3 were multiple champions who were icons in their sports—their greatness gave them the authority to demand greatness from others—particularly Jordan and Brady, who were not surrounded by some of the best in the game.  
 

Diggs is none of those things.  He’s a top 5 WR with no rings.  Josh Allen is a better football player, yet he has to sit their and watch these antics—-then, worse, has to cover for Diggs in the press.

Jordan had Pippen, Rodman. Brady had Gronk, and a future HOF field goal kicker that helped win him multiple chips along with HOF defensive players. Diggs currently have Allen and future HOF Von Miller. Brady wasn't considered great from the outset, yet he had that drive/passion to be great and tried to pass it on to his teammates. I see Diggs trying to do the same. I don't see a problem with that

So Jordan and those guys didn't demand any greatness from others until after they already won a championship?  C'mon man, make it make sense! 

[Ethan in Cleveland]

Call it what it really is.  It's racism 101. 

Angry black man versus passionate white man. OBK kicks a net- he is out of control. Brady yells at his o-line he is a leader. Diggs can't control his emotions and takes it out on a tablet. Belichick does the same and throws a phone.  If any black coach did what Trent Dilfer did two weeks ago he would never work again.

Jordan was the best player coming out of college.  Pippen turned into a star--but if you were around then you would understand the dynamic. If not then watch The Last Dance and get back to me.   How many other teams at that time does Pippen be the alpha and become a HOFer?  

 

Jordan and the Bulls had won 3 in a row before Rodman showed up. 

 

Brady and NE had won 3 SBs before Gronk was in college.  They won another with Gronk on IR.   Kicker?  They won 3 SBs with a more accurate kicker after Viniteri left. H had HOF Law and Seymour for the first 3 SBs only.

Jordan could back that up right away.  That's the way he was.  But he didn't exactly have the same cast and crew for all 6 championship years.  HE made those guys champs.  Pippen was notoriously soft, Rodman was poorly controlled.  Both bended to Jordan's will.

 

Brady could not demand greatness until he had rings.  That should already make sense to you, given who he was when he entered that first game.  What's the hard part here?

 

Diggs isn't doing anything like that. He's not even the best player on his team.   The guy who is the best player  has to watch these antics and then explain them to the press after.   The press didn't create these tantrums.  But they sure do lap them up---it's all part of the entertainment.   But if you can point to where, by doing these things, Diggs is "being a leader", I'm here to learn.

Are we going to get a major plot twist coming? We started strong with some holdouts, and A-aron Rodgers. We had some interesting events unfold like Travis Swiftie.

There is a reason that Daboll moved up to the booth after the 2019 New England game when Josh threw 3 INT (1 arguably not his fault) and Daboll was seen screaming at Josh on the sidelines.  Just sayin'

 

There is also a reason why Josh, Gabe, Morse, and I think a couple other guys opined that Dorsey should OC from the booth last year, and that McDermott made a club rule imposing a large fine on any coach who might incur an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty.
