Everytime a player gets paid fans bellyache when they don’t respond to a situation the way the fans want or expect. No one complained about CeeDee until this season. It’s been a tough season and our top players are getting the brunt of the criticism. He’s obviously playing hurt with an AC joint. From what I hear they’re very painful. He had some drops yesterday and in other games and fans are coming down on him.

He’s playing through an injury that will most likely need surgery. He’s tired of three yard pass plays. He he’s tired of the dumb scheme this offense runs. He’s tired of a sorry supporting WR group. He’s tired of balls being thrown behind him and five yards over his head. You want it both ways?
So is Fred Warner but guess what he plays his heart out and doesn't pout when his team is not doing the best. The mentality difference is what I am talking about. Back in the day players played through whatever they were dealing with and Noone made excuse. The soft culture around Dallas is the problem. Too many divas that care more about the money than winning on the field.

LOL Warner has thrown tantrums on sideline too in past.

You people are hilarious. The giveaway here is your back in the day comments. Some of you are stuck in the 70s where players didn’t fraternize, killed each other on the field, didn’t help opponents up.

You need to evolve.

Bingo.

He’s third in yards and first in receptions and that’s with a suspect O with a mediocre OL and mediocre to poor QB play this year.

People are insane.

Maybe he shouldn't have been on the sideline the week following the 'injury' jumping around and dodging players coming off the field like he was if he was supposed to be injured so severely. And then he was once again on the sideline after what would have been considered major surgery just a few days after the supposed procedure. Too many red flags to ignore.

I have my opinions and really don't care what anyone thinks. I could be wrong, but so what? It's not like my opinion is going to be detrimental to the morale of the team. Do you think they care one bit what we think? All they want is our money, not our opinions.
Stupid post.

What a stupid take. I’m guessing you also think elections are fixed and Elvis is alive. Do you also think there was no hamstring torn from the bone, no 3 doctors all saying he needed surgery, maybe no real surgery? Probably faked by the same production company that faked the moon landing. You can defend your guy without being stupid about it.
He can’t though. Limitations and what not.

Yeah, his numbers have been very good despite the injuries and the situation we find ourselves in. I hate that he had the three drops, but those things happen. I don't know if anyone had to do with the injured shoulder or if they just had to do with him being overeager to make a play for his team. One thing we do know, because we have enough evidence, is that they were an aberration.

Ceedee is fine. The main player out of the 53 I have an issue with is that soft #7
One of the top corners in the league, and our fans have an issue with him because he doesn't like to tackle. The man is coming off an ACL tear; who can blame him for being a little tentative about throwing his body in there.

Fair take because no one cares what you think.

I told y’all last season that at the WR position we had a #2 and a #3 and nothing else…nobody wanted to admit it…I said way back in August of last year that we had a bottom 5 WR Corp in the entire league, and I got blasted on here for it.

Quarterbacks have generally avoided throwing to his side, choosing to pick on the rotation of rookies/journeymen/never wases we've had to play on the other side. When they have thrown to his side, they've had limited success. Considering Diggs is coming off an ACL tear, he's played well in coverage. I'm ready to see him and Bland out there together, if it ever happens.

He's giving up a passer rating of 83.9. I'm supposed to be impressed by that? Diggs has gotten by feasting on bad quarterbacks. That's pretty much known by now. So again, I don't have an issue with ceedee who is consistently a top 5-10 wr and is a tough football player.

Diggs on the other hand isn't tough and isn't top 10. What's this debate you're wanting to have exactly?

Like with Lamb, fans go after our stars when they are hurt or when they do something poorly. Diggs seems to be your target, so go for it. The fact that QBs often avoid him shows what teams think of him. The Commanders, who don't swap sides with their receivers, threw to Noah Brown over and over again against our backup corners rather than go after Diggs on McLaurin. That's a respect that you obviously do not have for the player. The only time McLaurin made any noise was near the end of the game when he switched sides and was up against Lewis/Butler.
