    I have been a Panther fan since the day we were awarded a Franchise. I have been honored to meet Mr. Richardson a couple of times, of which I take great pride. It is a truly unique experience to be involved in a Franchise from its inception. As the vast majority of fans root for teams that have been around long before they were born. 

 

    That said, we all know it's Lions week. And herein lies my delimma. I have been a Lions fan for over 50 years. I still follow them, and read/watch whatever/whenever I can. And I absolutely hate having to root against them this week.

 

 

    So, here is where the favor comes in. Is it possible my Huddle Brethren, can you all find it in your hearts? To keep the Lions bashing civil? I mean, sure you can dis them all you want. But please, please keep the name calling to a minimum? That is all I ask. Don't force me to defend them on here, by trolling me. That ain't right.  lol

 

   So to reiterate. I am a Panther fan. Who happens to have been rooting for the Lions longer than most of you have been alive. So treat me nice would ya?

No one really wants to bash the Lions anyway.  They've sucked for so long that they are kind of an everyman's team.

Edit:  And I love them for it!  fuging A if the Lions won the Superbowl I'd have nothing to complain about except the Panthers which is par for the course.

    Here is the one stat that kills me. In my lifetime. The Lions have played in 9 Playoff games, and won 1. Barry never won a Playoff game.

Of all Lions players to never have a chance.  Barry tried so hard for that poo team they kept building around him :(

 

    Between crappy GMs/Coaches, and QBs, the dude never had a chance. Panther fans think JR is meddlesome. The Fords' make him look like a hermit. Other than Millen, no one stuck around long enough to build anything.

 

    LOL Here, folks complain JR won't fire a Coach. In Detroit, fans complain the Fords' were never afraid to fire a Coach.

I like the Lions. No reason to hate that franchise at all.

But for this week, it’s all how the Panthers are superior in every facet, how Stafford will soon be exposed as a fraud, and how many sacks will Julius Peppers get on Greg Robinson - arguably the 2nd worst tackle in the NFL.

Any other week, and I’m rooting for their franchise.

    I am of the belief that the Panthers do have the better roster. That Robinson is still struggling, and Pep, or/and Addy could very well harass Matty all game.

Rooted for them last week.  Felt like a Lions fan with the result.  Won't repeat. 

 

    Well, you cannot be a Lions fan if you are giving up on us. Lions fans are loyal. Also, the Hot Takes in Detroit this week were, "After years of finding new ways to lose, the Lions add yet another one." lol

 

    You cannot find a Lions fan who will admit Tate didn't score. lol The play was called a TD, and the replay showed nothing to change that call.

I'm in the same situation.  People don't understand what it feels like to be a fan of a franchise as perennial S-hitty as the Lions - well maybe if you're an NCSU fan like I am too.  To see them play the way they are is akin to the last eclipse.  In other words it doesn't happen often!

I still want the Panthers to crush them, but really hope they do well this year.

      I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
