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.

      Should Dave Canalas be on the HOT seat??

      By Panthero · Posted

      I think as long as the Panthers are competitive with Canales they should keep him. Pepper needs to repair his/the teams image as a place prized free agents aren't hesitant to consider. Just dont do any crazy poo for a few years.

      Yeah I think he's just talking continuity it's not really an endorsement. Also I would think CarolinaHuddle of all places would understand using "we" for the team you follow. I can't STAND when dorks do the "Oh so you play for them then? Hurr hurr"

      Kon is a damn stud but it’s not any individual player’s team. All of the “big 3” are incredibly and equally important IMO. And LaMelo makes Kon way better (look at his shooting splits with LaMelo on the floor vs without. Also Moose and even Miles are important cogs. Honestly think we’re 1 piece away from being legit top contenders if the young guys continue to develop the next year or two. I trust this FO to be patient to find that piece within the next 2-3 years and not force anything. Plenty of time and even without adding anyone we have the pieces in place overall already to compete with any team.
