If you Like Joey do you also like Darko?

I like all the 5 Lions young skill position players as well as Darko. I believe the Lions will explode in a good way with Martz, and Darko will sign a large extension and pan out eventually.

Where?

Some dumb team with money..see Atlanta.

I hate Joey and his eternal optimistic attitude but I can't bring myself to hate him after how his teammates (and I am not just talking about Bly) and fans treated him.

Atleast Joey never complains and plays hard everytime and that's more than what can be said of Darko.

Here is a meaningful difference IMO:

One (Joey) is counted on in order for the team to achieve to any degree right now.

The other is only counted on for the future.

In that light, I don't like Joey as he's underpreforming (or just not performing) and its hurting the Lions in a major way right now. While one could argue Darko hurts the Pistons to some extent, its to a degree small enough that I still don't really care about him.

I think Darko compares best with Charles. Both #2 picks from the same year. Both with a lot of hype. Both with injuries ending their first season. Both with attitude issues.

Here's another theory I have on Darko and Joey and this one is based on age. I believe that the majority of Darko and Joey supporters are under the age of 21.

The amount of kids screaming when Darko gets into the game at the palace is just fricking weird. I wish I would never have to look at him again and here are these kids treating him like he's Justin Timberlake.

Exactly what I was going to say.
