Right. Look at what the Texans got for Hopkins after that fallout. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not what happened. Diggs isn't a random fifth. He's now a known quantity. Not even close to what happened. Or should the Patriots have traded Brady years ago, so they could turn him into a first? Really, this is a terrible, not logical, argument people are making. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patriots traded a lot of players in their prime though. Known quantities that they did turn into draft capital. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swede700 Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 And Tom Brady never made it clear that he didn't want to be in Boston. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is so far from the point @PrplChilPill was making, that the only way to take it is as deliberately obtuse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I fall into the same camp as @vike daddy, what is the point? That you should completely only consider the performance on the field and completely ignore everything else associated with the individual in question? Reality doesn't work that way...nor should it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wcblack34 Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 So those who hate the trade and the fact Diggs is gone, I ask you this: What was your solution? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENINCH Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 (edited) Hard not to get attacked around here lately in many threads. Everyone seems to be on edge. It's good to disagree with each other. It's what makes it a good debate and better discussions. Edited March 18, 2020 by TENINCH 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stefon Diggs isn't Tom Brady, and just about everyone else outside franchise QB's can be justified being traded for draft capital. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purplexing Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Pro Football teams are transient in nature. If you fall in love with a player, your heart may be broken. Proceed with caution. When you think about it, some folks behavior isn't perplexing at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplexing Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 I look at the Diggs trade this way; I believe, but didn't check it out, Ten Picks Rick now has about nine picks for 2020, which means only one more deal is needed to reach ten.
