Quote:I should really say everytime a guy has a good game in general because that's what happens. What's annoying about is it's like guys see them one time and then are like "oh wow they're good" without seeing anything else from them.

 

 

So perhaps stickies on the top prospects would solve the issue?

 

What you are describing should not be surprising.

 

  In many instances, people will follow a particular college team until bowl season, then watch other teams.  Others prefer to emphasize watching the bowl games because there is some expectation of a similar level of competition.  A prospect can look dominant against a directional school, but how will he look against a big time program in a big game?

 

Is it a "crime" for one fan to "discover" a player later than another?  Should the later discoverer of a player be penalized by not commenting on that player in any thread of his own making if it isn't the established thread for that player?

 

What is the reasonable search a poster must make to find a preexisting thread on a player before posting a new one?  One page?  Two?  Are threads that name one player in a title that branch off into a discussion about another player counted among those to be considered a preexisting thread?  What about team vs. team game day threads?

 

In my opinion, if there is a reasonably recent thread that is obvious from the title it is about a particular player, perhaps an effort should be made to post in that thread or perhaps have a mod merge the threads.  By the same token, I think threads that facilitate the substantive discussion about the merits of a player should be encouraged, even if somewhat redundant.
