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.

      I would take the giants roster over Panthers. Lawrence, 3 OLB/DEs, Thomas, and nabers. Lawrence is better than dbrown and Thomas is better than icky. Panthers don't have one edge that would start over those 3 not matter how people feel about burns. Id believe....I think I would take nabers over the whole WR group....Id need to think about, but I feel it is right or 50/50..... Now after the top 10, Panthers may have claim. Im just not that big of a NFL fan like past time to make a good case. I'd just take giants on their top talent.    I will say this, if BY carries this team to the playoffs, he alone would flip this.

      Looks like he ran out of real estate.  He had 5 total TDs. As good as we have ever seen in Carolina? Looks like he is the only QB in our history with 3 passing and 2 rushing TDs and he tied a single game record of 5 TDs in one game with Cam and Beurlein.  Throw in his 73.4% completions and zero turnovers, literally the ONLY thing you could argue against statistically is total yardage which was only 275.  You may not agree with that statement (not 100% sure I do), but it's really not THAT wild...
