Diaz this year reminds me a little of Vinny in 2000 after his Achilles injury, in the sense Vinny was a borderline MVP in ‘98, gets hurt in ‘99 then comes back and is pretty underwhelming in 2000 with 25 picks, and he only really functioned in the hurry up offense.
Diaz isn’t quite 3-4 years ago bad yet, but he certainly hasn’t come back to being the same guy at this point. Maybe he never will and his 2022 will go along Doc’s 1985 as a meteor through the sky, never to be repeated.
