What if the Panthers had drafted Andrew Luck?

Reading the thread title, I said "Oh boy, here we go" (I thought this crap wouldn't start until the MNF game in November).  It's actually a spoof article of what-ifs that has Cam taking the Broncos to Super Bowl glory while Luck is in Carolina. 

Regardless, who cares because Cam Newton is our quarterback (apply sniffle, sniffle, Terrell Owens voice here) and that's all that matters!

So the reason RG3 became RGKnee, Peyton Manning didn't win another Superbowl, and Chip Kelly's seems to struggle a lot is because the Panthers drafted Newton? And the only thing holding Newton back from offensive greatness is not having The Golden Calf of Bristol as his TE? And as an added bonus the only thing Panther fans get in this utopian alternate reality is confusion and Taylor Swift?

Well, alright then.

    • Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
    • Well, we got our answer on Army today.
    • Not a chance the SEC could compete with the NFL.  In the large cities that are not in the Southeast, (LA, NYC, Chicago, SF) College football is an afterthought.
