Are you trying to set a record for the most incorrect things in a single post? I think the punishment was too light as well, but juses crust, this type of hyperbole is just counter productive.

Not hyperbole. Just pointing out how you can rape women and it's totally fine with the NFL but if you break any other rule it becomes rules are rules.

I might be missing something, but he wasn't accused of rape, was he? To be clear, I think his suspension should at least a full season.

Either two or three women (three, I think) alleged forced sexual contact of some kind. Pretty sure at least two said he forced oral sex.

The NFL will likely appeal just simply because the optics look better for them.

Then they can point to the female arbitrator and say, "Well she said this was what it is!"

Convenient scapegoat for an organization that in reality would rather Watson paid them all to STFU and this never come to light at all.

Yes he was by one. He forced her to have sex with him. I don't know your definition of rape but that's mine. He also sexually assaulted almost every other one. Might not be penetration but still a crime.

Imagine if someone broke into your house but not just your house but everyones on the block. Then they get caught, eyewitness point them out in mug shots. Now imagine if the DA just picks the house where no one was home to prosecute and disregarded everyone else's account. That's what the NFL just did.

A cynical part of me wonders if this whole turn of events was orchestrated with that in mind. 

The NFL turned into the WWE a long time ago.  Pretty much aligns with when they named Goodell the commissioner.  All they need is the officials not noticing when that linebacker sneaks the chain saw onto the field.

Got it. I had forgotten about that. Did he already get tried and aquitted?

Grand Jury failed to indict.

An awful lot of people feel like the DA deliberately softballed the case. The fact that they met repeatedly with the defense as part of the process is kind of telling.

The NFL has become one of the worst sports organizations in the world when it comes to reading optics.

They deserve a massive backlash over this, and frankly I hope they get it.

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

      By Icege · Posted

      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.
