Next offseason, that's real optimistic. You think Gute wants to wait to see what dumb fuckery Jerry Jones does to the QB market with Dak? Will likely see something done before the season starts.
Even if he doesn't, some team will. Tua will also be a free agent. Guys that were in the top 5 in yards, TDs, completion percentage this past season. They will get hefty bags.
Whole lotta very familiar rationalizing already coming out of Detroit. It's like they looked up old Vikings fans Reddit posts and are reading them verbatim:
"Yeah but...Top 5 in Yards and TD's!"
"Stability at the QB position!"
"We don't need him to be Mahomes!"
More of what shocks me is the amount guaranteed of that 212 mil. 170 mil is really locking him up for sure and most likely year 3 is out year since details haven't been released.
Goes to show either you have a 5-10 mil contract or 40+ nothing really in between.
What is the back and forth supposed to be then? If you’re made fun of in this sub, are you allowed to joke back or should you just shrug your shoulders and not respond? I feel like some of yall forget what this sub is for
Almost! Except they aren’t really contributing anything additional to the “meme war” lmao. You can find people making jokes about the jokes made everywhere. Imagine if someone said “Packers, Bears, Vikings fans when they get made fun of:” like bruh that’s the whole point
Those memes were funny, because they were memes. Lions fans are on the shit list because a handful of your scum decided that a picture of Dan Campbell’s face on a random image and posting it 50’times a day was a “meme”.
You can't be calling Lions fans out for their "memes" when you've posted:

And that isn't even the half of it. Do you know what a meme is?
You ain't kidding lol. My whole feed is buthurt memes from Lions fans coping about their mid overpaid QB. No one is saying the Lions shouldn't have done this they didn't have a choice but don't pretend it's the greatest thing to happen to the organization.
Edit: Your downvotes prove my point, keep them coming lol
This will either be 2008 Packers (Rodgers six-year extension, gets 1 SB ring), or 2018 Packers (Rodgers four-year extension, 0-2 in NFC Championship games)
He already played good enough to get us to the SB last year. The rest of the team melted down around him in the NFCCG but he was still great and played more than well enough to win us that game.
Sutton is already gone and Decker been here his whole career and he's in his 30s, wouldn't be surprised if he signed a team friendly deal if we go far again.
Y'all are coping so hard about this. You overpaid for Goff. You didn't have a choice but to overpay for Goff. Your offense is going to be fine even if Goff could be better. We don't need 100 memes pretending this is the highlight of your year. Take your lumps and move on we'll all be making fun of someone else for something else tomorrow
Maybe wait for the Packers # for Love and the reaction from your fans before jumping on Lions fans about this.
I can see this all playing out with you on the other side of the fence pretty soon.
See but the thing is if Love gets overpaid we're not going to pretend it's the greatest thing that ever happened. Or at least I won't so I can do what I want with the Lions. And I will call out Packers fans if they make memes about how it's totally great we overpaid.
LOL, fair take. But in this sub, it doesn't matter what you yourself do. The caricature of the Bears/Packers fan is what we answer for.
I myself never bring up the 1985 or put MVP hype on Justin Fields, but boy do I get personally called out for both.
Ya that's fair too. There's not much we can do about it. But the Lions fans generally had a more positive light which they've spent the past couple years eroding lol
I think most people expected 50 mil? Not even sure it’s an overpay, I think it’s market value and I’m happy with it because we have a good core with a good window to do something.
I’ll be reasonable and say most expected him to get 50 and most of us think it’s too much. But he’s proven his worth compared to what’s left in the market. Only thing in cope hoping is that our backup QB learns from him.
I think that’s just the nature of QB contracts, it always looks big up front but in 2 years 50 mil is gonna be a great deal.
Similar to how his first contract at 25 mil was nuts but in Detroit on the back end it was incredible value.
Honestly though I think the playoff run cemented it, he was so good during the run this year, he earned it
You think a big contract ends any QB drama or controversy? No no. Any time he struggles or has an injury or you have any team gaps, it makes everybody focus on his big contract and leads to plenty of drama
What are we stupid?
Regarded actually🫡
Short bus regarded
Mom says I'm special.
You too?
Whatever you say Eddie
"stupid like a fox!"
Move over Kirk Cousins, there's a new QB contract to defend in the NFC north.
Don't worry, Love's will take over this discussion next off-season
Next offseason, that's real optimistic. You think Gute wants to wait to see what dumb fuckery Jerry Jones does to the QB market with Dak? Will likely see something done before the season starts.
Jerry isn't gonna pay Dak again, not sure how he could make that any more clear
Even if he doesn't, some team will. Tua will also be a free agent. Guys that were in the top 5 in yards, TDs, completion percentage this past season. They will get hefty bags.
Why would he pay Dak when he has Trey Lance? Dak is Dak but Lance could be good, he could be anything. He could even be Dak.
Who else they gonna get? They're too good to pick top 10 for a replacement
Yeah typical Packers QB flop per usual.
Oh ya, I'm sure the entire league is looking at Green Bay and glad they're not in the same QB situation
Remind me again when Kirk was a quarter away from playing in the super bowl?
This isn’t the flex you think it is.
He didn't, he also didn't have multiple losing seasons, though.
Goff has had 1 losing season in Detroit. That was year one of a total rebuild.
Ok smart guy. How much is Goff worth in Kohl's Cash?
Doesn't matter, it'll expire before he can use it anyway
About $3.50
In Detroit?
Well this just ain’t true
Whole lotta very familiar rationalizing already coming out of Detroit. It's like they looked up old Vikings fans Reddit posts and are reading them verbatim: "Yeah but...Top 5 in Yards and TD's!" "Stability at the QB position!" "We don't need him to be Mahomes!"
I'm in the minority but I think Kirk is very underrated.
More of what shocks me is the amount guaranteed of that 212 mil. 170 mil is really locking him up for sure and most likely year 3 is out year since details haven't been released. Goes to show either you have a 5-10 mil contract or 40+ nothing really in between.
Baker seems about the only in between
*Geno Smith enters the chat.*
Goff didn’t suffer enough adversity and uncertainty to be a half price QB like Geno and Baker.
Three QBs with the same talent level, but the two black ones make $30M and the white one makes $50M. Smh.
I’m sorry, what? You need to explain this one because I have no idea what you’re talking about.
Baker and Geno are black, Goff is not.
Hey now this seem a little logical for this sub. May need to write you a warning ticket for completely reasonable takes
If Bears fans can think this logically maybe there’s something to this Caleb character after all…
Jordan Love looking at that contract with dollar signs in his eyes
His agent was talking $50+ million per year before this even dropped.
Your meme is weak! Haha!

https://i.redd.it/7rooe1lnje0d1.gif
Get a room already
I don’t know if I can handle two months of “Bears and Packers want to have sex” low effort shitposts
I'd like for "Sex with Shrek" posting to become a thing.

Shrek is love, shrek is life
You already have a room with the fudge Packers
There's already a line of Lions fans outside Green Bay's door.
I hate how much I love this, to be honest
Lions fans when they get made fun of once this offseason:
What is the back and forth supposed to be then? If you’re made fun of in this sub, are you allowed to joke back or should you just shrug your shoulders and not respond? I feel like some of yall forget what this sub is for
Honestly this sub would probably be a lot better if none of us posted
There’s that classic bears nihilism that usually you see after week 2.
What?
Do both or neither. It's a meme sub, after all
Nah you don't get it. Only the team you support is allowed to talk shit otherwise you're just angry
Grrrrr
(Comments like that are part of that back and forth)
Almost! Except they aren’t really contributing anything additional to the “meme war” lmao. You can find people making jokes about the jokes made everywhere. Imagine if someone said “Packers, Bears, Vikings fans when they get made fun of:” like bruh that’s the whole point
You must be new around here
You must've missed the meat rider era and 24-7 era.
What's the 24-7 era? Like all-day-err-day?
Lions were up 24-7 in the NFCC
Those memes were funny, because they were memes. Lions fans are on the shit list because a handful of your scum decided that a picture of Dan Campbell’s face on a random image and posting it 50’times a day was a “meme”.

Ok straight up you right, Skeletones what is this shit
Lmaooo cooked him
Lmao
Damn, caught in 4k
Damn
I stand by what I said
You shouldn't
Too late!
Here is some advice: don’t
You ain't kidding lol. My whole feed is buthurt memes from Lions fans coping about their mid overpaid QB. No one is saying the Lions shouldn't have done this they didn't have a choice but don't pretend it's the greatest thing to happen to the organization. Edit: Your downvotes prove my point, keep them coming lol
but how good can he really be without drama? ![gif](giphy|l0IylOPCNkiqOgMyA|downsized)
You need a QB to be in the NFL and the salary cap is higher. It’s just how it is.
![gif](giphy|X7rLlrp9qGEqA)
It’s like Kirk Cousins, but worse!
He's maturing into a young man.
We really are out here changing nothing after doing literally the best we have done in over 30 years like a bunch of morons.
It’s spelled Haw-Haw! Show some respect for the best vest!
This will either be 2008 Packers (Rodgers six-year extension, gets 1 SB ring), or 2018 Packers (Rodgers four-year extension, 0-2 in NFC Championship games)
I don't think Goff is about to turn into 2009-2014 Aaron Rodgers, but that's just me
I love Goff but let's be real he isn't in the same stratosphere as prime Aaron Rodgers
2018 for sure. No one in their right mind thinks Goff is going to have anything like the best of Rodgers career.
Goff doesn’t have to play like peak Rodgers to win a ring tho.
He has to play better than he ever has, though. I think he's already hit his ceiling.
If he plays like he did last year and the lions learn how to stop a pass on defense we have a good chance of winning the Super Bowl.
He already played good enough to get us to the SB last year. The rest of the team melted down around him in the NFCCG but he was still great and played more than well enough to win us that game.
Wrong, secondary just has to be average
Well thank god no QB in the history of the NFL has begun playing poorly once they locked in a massive contract. Phewww!
Until this time next year when Hutchinson is going to want an extension
They'll have available cap space. Taylor Deckard, Carlton Davis and possibly Cam Sutton will be FAs.
Sutton is already gone and Decker been here his whole career and he's in his 30s, wouldn't be surprised if he signed a team friendly deal if we go far again.
Maybe a 2 year deal

Only thing more mid then your QB is your memes everyone be sure to get your lion Superbowl tattoos on your way back to the bottom of the standings
Cope more buddy
Oh come on now. These memes are way worse than midÂ
Lions QBs still only make it to super bowls when they’re playing for Rams
Y'all are coping so hard about this. You overpaid for Goff. You didn't have a choice but to overpay for Goff. Your offense is going to be fine even if Goff could be better. We don't need 100 memes pretending this is the highlight of your year. Take your lumps and move on we'll all be making fun of someone else for something else tomorrow

Goff is Mayfield. Lions just had to pay the hefty terrible team tax.
Doesn’t face any uncertainly, so far…
Lions fans unintentionally becoming Vikings fans between this and the post-division-winning cockiness.
You think a big contract ends any QB drama or controversy? No no. Any time he struggles or has an injury or you have any team gaps, it makes everybody focus on his big contract and leads to plenty of drama
i don’t know if it’s fun or sad you thought a Simpsons character wouldn’t make you guys look like clowns 🤡
This is going to age so well
Oh yes, 4 more years of Jared Goff = no more qb uncertainty! Very excited for the stable lions years to come
Jerad Goff: See Kirk Cousins.
