This is what traffic looks like in this joint. The peaks on the left are game days. 

February is no man's land.

Then there is the Watson Effect. 

Notice people are more excited about possibly picking up a good player than watching an entire bad team in December.

I didn't even want Watson. I did when the rumors first started last off season, but then when the cases came and all that, i just excepted that it wasn't going to happen. I also feel a lot worse about where the team is at, than I did then. I've just moved on and would rather use our picks to build a proper team. However, the last 2-3 days have done something to me. Reading and following along with you guys has got me really wanting to land him. Of course the Saints and Falcon also being in the running has alot to do with it.  I surely don't want him going there. It's been a fun few days, but I'm ready for this thing to end already.

Even if we don’t get him she will spike again on draft day 

Spikes come with notable free agent signings and draft days. That's pretty typical.

Peaks are nice, but having higher valleys is much nicer. Means people are having fun with this team on the daily and not with just breaking news.

YES!!! Me too. I don't even really want him. I think this is a bad move but I'm competitive and I want to WIN and beat the Saints and Falcons. I was thinking about that last night when I realized I wanted him even though I didn't. It's strange.

Or mortified at the idea of trading away a bunch of picks and young talent and getting nowhere in the process. People anticipate bad news just as much as good.

Man, I thought this was going to be about the increased number of experts popping up when talking about everything associated with Watson.

1/10 Thread, skip...

Just kidding.  It is interesting to see in practice the idea that there's no such thing as bad publicity.

      Them playing behind a couple more seasoned guys until they get familiar with coverage and pace of play is a good thing though. We really can use them to spell the other guys, and in situational ball especially with Ransom on possible run/blitzing downs.

      They fuged him over so bad to help cover their bad judgement. About time he got a little something to wrk with.

      I think completion percentage is a bit of a overinflated stat for a qb too. People place to much stock into it. So many factors to consider with it : receivers, how many attempts are made deep, the defense etc all play a roll in it. When it’s considerably low 50% or less the QB accuracy can come into question. But I don’t think it’s necessarily one of the better percentages to put so much importance into for that position. General effectiveness is far more indicative of the QB you have. First downs, 3rd and 4th down conversions, points scored and clutch plays IMO is how you grade a QB. Always bothered the poo out of me how people downed Cam for his completion percentage and that’s what they used to disregard him as an all time great. Dude damn near averaged 3tds to 1 turnover a game and was an obvious difference maker for us.
