some teams are going to look at that and see that the price for pumping in crowd noise isn't all that bad and feel it's worth the advantage.

Winner winner chicken dinner. The Falcons are now worse than the Saints as far as I'm concerned.

I don't wish injuries to anyone, but I hope that they're 1st and 2nd round picks are both busts. Karma has to be watching this right?

Hell, we've got three fifth rounders this year. We should pump in noise. Not even simulated crowd noise, but babies crying, car horns, construction sight noises, gay porn audio...

We should've pumped in Benny Hill music every time Bersin went back for a return last year

My read on Goodell has long been that he acts like The Punisher when it comes to player discipline but when it comes time to do something to teams (and by extension, owners) he turns into Glass Joe from Punch Out.

Only thing I can think of is that they were cooperative. A 2016 fifth is nothing in comparison to the Saints losing two 2nd rounders to bountygate, guess player safety is higher than pumping noise but where is the line drawn? 

 

I honestly think it's drawn when anyone tries to obstruct Goodell. The Saints did everything in their power to mislead and lie and for it they were given a harsh penalty. I imagine Arthur Blank spent some time on his knees with Goodell to get this down to a 2016 fifth, but I did hear Goodell loves mustache rides.

      Nothing wrong with starting to look for bodies early. It's a long injury filled season. I doubt we get through unscathed.

      Adam Theilen said he came back to play with Bryce, and he expects the Panthers to surprise some people

      We're in alignment regarding Thielen not being a game changer/breaker for the Panthers. Getting the ball into hands of playmakers like TMac and XL is going to open up things more than it is getting it to Thielen underneath (or letting him go after 50/50 balls 20yds downfield in his mid-30s). However, in a room where the other guys are two second year guys and two rookies, having a reliable vet that they can learn from is just as important as it is for the QB to have as a reliable third option. I can see that being worth $8.5M (just 3%) of the $279.2M cap... especially when looking at what's left out there: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/_/position/wr However, the idea that the team is forcing production to Thielen and leading to losses isn't supported by the data. Targets, not receiving yards, are how you can tell if a player is being "force fed." In the two games mentioned, let's look at the other players available... vs. TB 10 targets - Adam Thielen 9 targets - David Moore 8 targets - Tommy Tremble, Xavier Legette 3 targets - Jonathon Brooks 1 target - Dan Chisena, Feleipe Franks, Stephen Sullivan vs. PHI 11 targets - Adam Thielen 8 targets - Xavier Legette 5 targets - Chuba Hubbard, David Moore 2 targets - Tommy Tremble 1 target - Ja'Tavion Sanders, Deven Thompkins There isn't exactly a bounty of other names to throw the ball to. In those games, AT was one of the top 2 WRs. Diontae had been gone by that point.   So... yea. Agreed that Thielen isn't exactly carrying the team in his mid-30s, but it's undeniable that he was the most reliable target last season that still has quite a bit of value this season. Whether or not that value is reflected in a manner folks think on the contract is going to come down to personal taste. However, the idea that the team was forcing production to AT and that was the reason behind some losses couldn't be further from the truth.

      I would also add that I think it's more than money.  AT has looked absolutely miserable out there at times, and there was a lot of speculation he would demand to be traded.  Personally, I thought he was a lock to be moved last year.  Maybe his hamstring is the only thing that prevents that from happening. The fact that he's not only willing to come back and play, but excited about it, really bodes well for Bryce.  AT is a veteran and he knows the game.  If he didn't have confidence in Bryce, I guarantee you he wouldn't be in a Panther uniform this year.  I'll take that as a positive.
