These ripples would have traveled across the league - Shaftesburyw - 03-09-2023
It's hard to say what the result could have been. Even the Super Bowl win could have resulted in a hangover but at the very least the Panthers would have played with more confidence. This is crucial to the 2017 season and Madden 23 coins beyond.
Consistently inconsistent has been a mantra for the Panthers since the franchise has been around. A seemingly endless rubber banding that soaring highs and crushing lows, with nothing between. Winning that Super Bowl, finally getting over the hurdle, could have been a major change.
The general Manager Dave Gettleman would have stayed on the team in the year 2017. The Super Bowl would have assured that, which would have drastically altered the Giants history as well. Without Gettleman it's unlikely the team selects Saquon Barkley and will instead be selecting Sam Darnold -- which will keep the Jets QB within the same town but with different colors.
Following the departure of Gettleman, the Panthers started to behave as if they were a team that was running out of time. Ron Rivera seat was getting hot, Newton was struggling, not just on the field, but also with injuries. Everyone at the venue was aware of the need to win immediately. If Carolina were to win Super Bowl 50 they would be able to use a gigantic base to hang their crowns upon. Newton who was a Super Bowl winning QB and the former MVP probably would have rested his injuries that were getting worse, similarly the team wouldn't feel that they were in a position to return him to action in a hurry -- further aggravating the issues.There's a high probability it was the case that winning the Super Bowl would have led to Newton still being the quarterback of the Carolina Panthers, Dave Gettleman remaining the GM as well as Ron Rivera remaining head coach. These ripples would have traveled across the league and mut coins madden 23 affected several franchises.
