Scenario 1: You are GM of the Panthers and have just franchised your brilliant Van Gogh eccentric DE for a lot (did I say a lot) of money. What do you do in the off season FA. How do you approach the draft and who do you go after.

Scenario 2: You are the GM of the Panthers and have just ridded yourself of an elite albeit unreliable franchise DE. What do you do in the off season FA. How do you approach the draft and who do you go after.

Lets try to look beyond the obvious and see which picture looks better.

Scenario 2: After letting the less then stellar DE walk I would tender Moore signing some of our veteran players. I would go after a proven WR and then fill the rest of the roster spots through the draft. After training camp I would get rid of the overpriced QB and go into 2011 with my cap in good shape.

2. I cut Jake and Kemo.

Draft a Smitty esque WR who can return punts with the first 2nd round pick, trade up back into the 2nd round to draft an athletic LB to complete the corp.

Spend the most money on a good DE, then go after a big body WR

sign LT cheap just because i think it'd be really sweet to give the best RB duo the best mentor they could possibly have.

Pretty much. Use the loss of Peppers to fortify other trouble spots on the team. See how well my current DE's stack up. Address the need to upgrade if necessary after labor negotiations.

Scenario 2: I draft best available "Senior" WR in the 2nd round, grab best available QB in the 3rd. In free agency I go after Vanden Bosch to hold down the DE position while I wait for next years draft/FA to get another franchise DE. I cut Delhomme, re-sign McCown and let Feely walk. I name Moore the starter and have the 3rd Round draft pick QB compete with McCown for the #2.

Finally, and I'll stretch a bit on this one, I think you have to consider bringing in Antonio Bryant to legitimately compete for the number 2 spot (he has shown, so I hope he knows, he can't handle the number 1 spot), if I'm feeling a little less risky, I bring in the Texans Kevin Walters instead of Bryant and have him compete for #2 WR with my rookie/Jarret/Moose.

i think if this happened I would be a very happy man

and assuming there is a cap - you just blew it with this move...

scenario 2: I re sign Moore to a 3 year deal, let mccown and feeley walk. re-sign moose to a 1 or 2 year deal. sign Aaron Kampman, and Steve Breaston in FA. then draft a WR in the 2nd, a DE in the 3rd, and a QB in the 4th. Moore is named the starter, delhomme is #2 and the rookie is #3.

      In all honesty, he should probably get that checked out. It might be (Arnold Schwarzenegger voice) "a tuuumaaa"

      I've seen the comp a few times, and I feel there is a lot to it. Our situation is a lot like Kansas City was pre-Mahomes (without the HOF HC) Whether you like them or not, D&D are building something here.  They had a strong draft.  The team is slowly coming together, developing some identity, and has some decent blue chip parts.  Brown, Horn, McMillan, and a good OL situation that we should keep fortifying every year.  It's not much yet, but growing.    Bryce is in that Alex Smith spot.  A top draft pick, has never been overly impressive, but you can win games when he's safe with the ball.  You're not winning because of him - maybe once in a blue moon.  From time to time he's shown the ability to orchestrate some plays and lead drives.  I just don't see anything that is like - "oh snap, yeah don't let him go, he's ours".  He'll make a solid/good throw every now and again, but man, it is a struggle a lot of the time to watch.  Some terrible performances to speak of, heck he's already been benched once during year 2.      He should in no way preclude you from flirting with what else is out there.  This is not a marriage.  If you're in position (or trade range) for a guy you REALLY like come draft day, you shoot your shot. If we are in the draft process, and suddenly realize QB3-4 is a guy we really like, that's when you make a modest jump from like 16 to 11 or something like that.  Just like the Bills did for Allen, like the Chiefs did for Mahomes.  This is nothing magical that plants this franchise savior title on them, this is not some stupid trade-- it's an easy trade up to get a guy you like w/a big ceiling.  It's all player dependent and coaching/development driven.  If we don't like a QB, by all means fortify the front-7, get an awesome OLB or ILB prospect.   But we're on year 3, you kind of know what you're getting at this point.  Mostly sub-200 yard performances, low YPA, bad technique, poor mechanics, some decent stuff sprinkled in, but some bad turnover heavy ones that kill the team's momentum.  Again, run with him if there's no complete disaster that happens the remainder of the season, but don't close the door on something better just because of the investment or debatable performances.
