I agree with moving on. I just think Diggs was one of the most intelligent players we had on the team. And if he wanted out he was seeing something that was not apparant to a normal fan like me. whatever that reason seems to be playing out this season. Maybe it was the scheme or the QB or the O-line but he saw something and I would love an answer from him. I miss diggs but as a fan I wish we knew his real reasons
I think it was on the verge of getting very ugly with the Vikings/Diggs, and more out in the open too.
Jimmy Bulter'esque ugly...
Manning Chargers ugly...
Diggs is a sensitive guy, I think he was hurt by the situation. I don't think he had issues with Cousins running the offense, I think the issue was the offensive philosophy. It is a scoring league and a passing league. I think he wanted them to make the most of it.

At the end of last season I started bidding on a private meet and greet package with Diggs using frequent flyer miles. I bowed out at 600k miles. At that point, I decided I wasn't *that* much of a fan  Based on the bidding (and everything else), he was an absolute favorite.
Here's one of the Vikefans tweets I mentioned. Read through the replies for more context.

all “real playmakers” want the ball. Diggs wants the ball, Theilen wants the ball, Rudy / Irv, Bisi, Mattison, Cook......every real competitor worth their salt wants the ball.
a long sustained ground game controls the clock, wins TOP, and keeps your defense rested. The ground game comes up front. you need some mean, nasty, mouth-breathin, knuckle-draggin, blood-spittin, maulers up front. get inside some pads, leverage some spines, and open a GD hole!
someone on the line needs to step up and say “run behind me!”. Someone on the O line needs to step the F up!

I was suprised about the reaction amongst some fans too. “Hit the road” as a reaction didnt understand the depth of this loss. Diggs was widely viewed as a massive talent and one of the best recievers in the league. I was alarmed and puzzled by his wanting to leave since he did have a great year statistically and was getting paid too. wow 600,000 points that is impressive!
yap, yap, yap......yeah....in week one he had 3 catches for 30..something.
Is the ghost of Diggs past gonna solve our O line issues?
He wanted out, He’s gone, lets move forward and fix what we CAN control

Yes, it seemed crazy. After reading that he didn't want to co-exist here with some people, I completely gave up and stopped wondering what happened. That could mean anything.

My compliments on the "yap, yap, yap" lol
I agree. The day he signed elsewhere I stopped following him on twitter. But so many other Vikings fans that I also follow keep responding to his tweets so they keep showing up. Soon, I'm going to stop following them too. I wish Diggs well, sort of.
I suppose if our season was off to a better start he'd be less of a topic.
exactly right....this is a non-issue if we won both games or even split. but we lost, so “it HAS to be Diggs departure”. I call bunk. Did it hurt? of course, but he cant pass protect, he cant fix Hunters neck, he cant play for Pierce who opted out, he cant play corner...its a syllabus of errors, and the “Diggs excuse” is short sighted IMO
