Never been a fan of smack talk

All that "My team is better than your team, your team is going down" kind of poo has never done it for me. God forbid you talk all this poo and your team doesn't back it up for you. then you just look like a jackass.

what's that old adage? I'd rather keep my mouth shut and let the world think i'm a fool than open it up and prove them right.

That's my stance on this stuff. If the panthers win, sweet, good game, i'm not going to rub it in. if the panthers lose, well poo, we lost again. I will be very upset until i finally realize that the season is a waste (around week 6 or so). Didn't say that we would win so no one can rub it in my face. To tell you the truth, if we play like we did last week, I don't see us winning much this year.

go panthers.

bucs, i hope you lose.

I'll get down with the occasional jab, but I usually won't argue a point too much fan vs. fan as there really is no winner. So I stick to jabs and small things, and I most definitely stay away from saying the Panthers will win a game. Last time I did that, the Cats went 1-15.

Yup, that's why the gay jokes. If you read most of it, I don't predict anything and haven't. And don't really talk too much about the game. I'd much rather question their sexuality, it's easier to prove (especially for buc fans) than saying for sure who is going to win and why.

      In my opinion Fitterer was probably right about not paying McCaffrey. Now not wanting to "pay RBs" in my opinion isn't something you want to set in stone, to me it all comes down to the individual.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      Maybe I'm just not understanding, but everywhere that I have read says that signing bonuses go against the cap prorated by as much as five years. The following example uses Andrew Luck's rookie contract as an example. "Take Andrew Luck, the first overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft. Luck signed a four-year contract with the Colts worth $22.1 million and included a $14.5 million signing bonus. Rather than a $14.5 million cap hit in 2012, the Colts spread out his signing bonus over the life of his contract. The hit against the cap would be $3.625 million per year over four years instead of a direct cap hit of $14.5 million directly in 2012. This gave the Colts more leverage and cap flexibility in signing other players." https://www.the33rdteam.com/nfl-signing-bonuses-explained/ I don't know why some of you think that signing bonuses aren't counted against the cap over the length of the contract, but whatever.   "The bonus with a signing is usually the most garish aspect of a rookie contract. Bonus is the immediate cash players receive when they ink a deal. It factors into the cap, but only for the whole contract duration, in terms of salary cap calculations. In the case of Bryce Young’s $24.6 million signing bonus, that’s prorated to approximately $6.15 million per season over a four-year deal. This format allows teams to handle the cap and provides rookies with some short-term fiscal stability, which is important given the high injury risk in this league." https://collegefootballnetwork.com/how-rookie-contracts-work-in-the-nfl/ I understand how signing bonuses can be a useful tool in order to manage the cap, and as one of the article suggests, signing bonuses may become important if you have a tight cap, but the bill is always going to come due. I'm not necessarily referring to you Tuka, but it seems to me that others simply don't want to understand that fact which is why they're reacting to what I'm saying negatively. How odd. In any event, I have a better general understanding of why signing bonuses are used now, and it's generally to fit salaries under the cap. Surely players, whether they be rookies or not, love a signing bonus because they get a good portion of their money up front. This in turn gives them more security and probably amounts to tax benefits as well. I also understand why teams would not want to use signing bonuses, particularly for players or draftees who have a higher probability of being gone before a contract even ends.
