There are a myriad of moving parts to how this all unfolded, and Madden 23 coins it's difficult to predict the outcome however, there are two possibilities that both could have happened if Carolina performed to its full potential and hoisted the Lombardi trophy in the year 2016.
Cam Newton rumors continue to drift towards the Seahawks Scenario One: Everything is different.
The Panthers were the very first club in Madden NFL 23 in history finish 15-1 in the previous season, and finish the following season with a loss record following their Super Bowl loss. There's absolutely no reason for why this happened. The same talented team with the same team that was largely unchanged from greatest season of the franchise's history and yet they went into the season a ghost of their previous selves without displaying the confidence which made them a force earlier in the season.
There was a serious psychological issue with this year's Panthers. There was a breakdown. A season-opening defeat to the Broncos seemed to too closely echo that of the Super Bowl itself, and from then on, the team did not play as they believed they could take home the trophy. After nearly losing to horrendous 49ers (who ended up finishing 2-14 that season) the collapse began. The Panthers lost four games in a row, Newton was mistake prone and, every week Carolina seemed as if they was trying to make its way out of a deeper and deeper hole.
Let's say for a moment that the issue that the team had to face was psychological. It's hard to say what the result could have been. Even winning a Super Bowl win could have led to a hangover, however, at a minimum the Panthers would be playing with more confidence. This is crucial for the 2017 season and buying mut coins beyond.
Consistently inconsistent has been a mantra for the Panthers since the franchise has been around.
