Call me crazy but I think Tepper is all in on Lawrence. Hometown kid. Great building block for the new era of Panthers football. Amazing talent. The question is what do you think he’s willing to pay or do you think someone in Lawrence’s corner can convince him to pull a Eli. Deep down Lawrence knows the Jags will not be the best for his development or marketing. The only thing they have going for them is no state tax. Hopefully they hire a coach that isn't offensive minded or has a good track record to further sour Lawrence’s view of the team. Yes it would cost an RGIII like ransom to get up there but I honestly think that Tepper thinks it’s worth it. 75% of you will disagree but just think of the return on this risk, just 1 Super Bowl win is worth it imo and I can’t be the only fan dying for one.

No way the Jags give up the chance to draft Lawrence. With that being said I would trade whatever it takes to get him if they were open to it. Cam completely changed our franchise and brought years of excitement to our team. We knew we always had a chance each year with him under center. That’s the impact franchise QBs have on a team and I hope we come out of the draft with one no matter who it may be.

Mind you we probably wouldn't have had Star, Luke, Norman and God knows what else had we had to trade up to 1 to take Cam. Would we we have ever made a Super Bowl. I think not.

He's from Tennessee and grew up in Georgia. He's not a hometown guy.

I know you love technicalities but I think most people know he’s from GA. Outside of the Falcons, we are clearly the closest team considering where he was born, raised and went to college. Most people equate him to Clemson and SC is very much in the fan base of the Panthers. Heck, he’s played multiple games already in our stadium.

He’s not Sam Howell hometown, but you could still qualify him as from the area. Maybe the Falcons will try to get him since they’re closer in pick and distance.

I have never visually witnessed a Panthers fan in my 12+ years of working around Clemson.

      this     I never cease to be amazed at the number of people who will run up their blood pressure to get to the grocery store 30 seconds faster or are racing to get to work like it won’t be there at 8:02.   The only thing I’ve ever done that I think added more years to my life besides quitting smoking, was to learn to go with the flow behind the wheel.

      The term you're looking for is "malinger(ed)", and he didn't.  I'm not sure why Panthers fans act like jaded ex girlfriends.  The dude is clearly injury prone as his time in San Fransico also proves. It's not like he got to San Fran and stopped having problems.

      My long and rambling post:   The guy is all heart, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he came back even better next year. He’s exactly the guy you lock up. The money won’t ever change the way he plays.  It was a big fumble, but what 1,000 yard back fumbles once in an entire season?  Pride. This team is FINALLY seeing guys who obviously take the game very seriously. Hunt, Chuba, Thielen, Brown, Horn (CB), Coker, Bryce (IMHO). Bye bye, Spider-Man. I don’t see these dudes being OK with teammates half-assing practice or in games. I can see Brown and Horn coming over to talk to somebody.  Good team? Ummm, maybe, but will still likely lose more close games than they win unless this last draft turns in to LOB part 2. That’s a stretch.  Pretty good/decent team. Yes. They finished the season as a pretty good team. I know I sound like a broken record harping back to it, but going in to ATL and putting a 40 burger on them en route to an OT win. A bad Panthers team would have had their brakes beaten off. We’ve seen it.  Rose colored glasses on and bonging a 40 of hopium: There are watershed moments that occur that change the course of franchises, both good and bad. If Fox doesn’t pull Rodney at halftime, the epic journey that was 2003 never happens. On the negative side, Cam taking that one hit from Watt was the end of any and all Panthers relevancy and we’ve been the biggest losers in all of pro sports as a result. Watershed moments. LOB draft. Vinny goes down and the goat is born.  Will the ATL game be the spark that this franchise has desperately needed? Could it be that they hit the mega million jackpot with Princley and Scourton as eat QBs for breakfast? Sure would be nice having 2 all-pro edge guys on the cheap for the next 4 years.  A lot of unknowns, but at least it actually feels  fun again.
