Your take from the Yahoo Sports Clip of Free Agents from:

Julius Peppers, DE, Carolina PanthersAfter bouncing back big with 14½ sacks this season, it’s extremely unlikely Peppers is going anywhere, particularly after the Panthers saw what happened to the Kansas City Chiefs’ front line when it dealt Jared Allen. Peppers will sign a massive deal, or the Panthers will retain him with the franchise tag.

Jordan Gross, OT, Carolina Panthers

There has been some thought that Carolina can’t afford to keep both Gross and Peppers, especially considering they’re arguably the best free agent talent at “premium” positions. The reality is that Carolina likely can’t keep Gross, Peppers and quarterback Jake Delhomme, who will have a reported $11 million cap number next season. Smart money says the Panthers franchise Peppers and get a deal with Gross done before free agency begins, then either cut Delhomme or dramatically rework his deal.

Please GOD do the last part in RED.... PLEASE:D

Pepp was spotted at Denver Nuggets games all last year, so draw your own conclusions...

We can't afford to lose Gross IMO. Delhomme is a different story...

I was actually thinking we could deal him to the Broncos...We would never have to play him and they have pretty good draft position if they are willing to trade their first...it is best case scenario in my opinion with him not wanting to be here anymore.

Peppers is not as good as Jared Allen - I would take him over Pep. That is just my opinion. Plus the Panthers have alot more overall talent on their team and are not the Chiefs. They will not become the Chiefs without Peppers on the rost. I am going to trust Fox and Hurney on this decision with Peppers.

Let yahoo and all the other pundents prop and pump up Pep. That will just increase the asking price when the Panthers trade him.

My gut tells me take the picks + the 17 million and improve the defense that way. Again, I will trust Fox and Hurney on this one.

    • Well even if we took diverging paths getting there...our overall assessment of Shough is the same (bolded) lol so I guess that's what matters.  What you call "playing at a level that looks like a veteran starter" is the same thing I'm referencing when I talk about his poise.  Although I still wonder how truly "bad" of a team the Saints are.  Their defense is middle-of-the-road, and their offense does have some good pieces (Olave, Juwan Johnson) outside of running back which is the position most everyone agrees is relatively plug-and-play.  I'm not going to pretend to know anything about the majority of NFL team's o-lines lol but I'm assuming Saints are not great there, although Shough's pressure % seems to have been quite low (and steadily improving) over the last four weeks (20 -> 16.7 -> 15.0 -> 13.0) so maybe they've been playing better as of late, or perhaps Shough himself deserves credit for that.   Some of the language I'm hearing about Shough, including talking about how he's way above league average in several categories, makes it sound like Shough is having a rookie season on par with like a CJ Stroud who established himself as basically a Top 5-10 QB his rookie season.  Maybe that's on me though, I don't mean to attribute anything to you that I'm sure you don't agree with.
    • Since your being selective (and somewhat deceptive) with your comparisons, I'll throw this up so we can compare apples to apples. Both Young and Shough have played against the Rams. Young went: 15/20 (75%) for 191 yards, 3 TDs, 0 INTs with a 147.1 QB rating Shough went: 15/24 (62.5%) for 176 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT with a 81.2 QB rating   Both Young and Shough have played against the Buccs. Young went: 21/32 (65%) for 206 yards, 2 TDs, 0 INTs with a 102.5 QB rating Shough went: 13/20 (65%) for 176 yards, 0 TD, 1 INT with a 65.4 QB rating   Both Young and Shough have played against the Falcons. Young went: 31/45 (75%) for 448 yards, 3 TDs, 0 INTs with a 123.2 rating Shough went: 30/43 (69.7%) for 243 yards, 0TD, 1 INT with a 74 QB rating   Seriously, in what world is Shough a better QB.
    • Freddie? For this game? Seriously? I don’t get it. Hope we get the best version of Freddie tonight.
