Tell what the thread is about in the title

One of my pet peeves are posters who start threads with titles like:

Hey guys.........

I want to know....

I been wondering.........

You open up the thread to find out that the thread is about Chudzinski or a player or the salary cap.

Why not title the thread something like: Thoughts about Chudzinski's contract or I want to know about how the salary cap works.

And even those aren't great because you could have asked the question in a thread already started on the topic instead of asking a question in a new thread.

How about adding to the knowledge base instead of asking questions that have been discussed previously.

I am going to make it my policy to ignore threads that don't clearly state what they are about. If we all did that, they would quickly disappear.

Just my pet peeve that I feel better about after putting it out there.

I don't mind so mouch when people do that in thread titles because I usually don't look at them anyway. What I do hate though is when the same people bitch at me for making a thread about something that has already been created in another thread but their other thread was titled something stupid so I have no idea it's already been discussed.

For example:

Huddler X sees that the Panthers traded for Greg Olsen and makes a thread titled "OMGZ!!!1!! Did you guys hear?!??" This person also provides a link as the first sentence, so even if I do a mouse-over of their thread title for a preview it gives absolutely no indication as to what the thread is about.

Montsta sees that the Panthers traded for Greg Olsen and makes a thread titled "The Panthers just traded a 3rd round pick for Greg Olsen"

Huddler X then comes into my thread and berates me because a thread already exists on that topic.

That is the dickhead move I don't like.

    • So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?
    • Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.
    • Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
