Panthers 2016 expectations & why winning comes at a time of need for the state

Every Panthers’ fan remembers what it felt like on the evening of February 7th, 2016. Watching Peyton Manning ride into the sunset with one last victory. A bitter end to a magnificent season for the Carolina Panthers. As if the loss itself was not enough, having the MVP of the league, Cam Newton, walk out of the post-game press conference, setting up for some piping hot takes, surely added to the discomfort of Panthers’ fans. The 2015-2016 Carolina Panthers accomplished just about everything they had aimed to. Fifteen regular season victories, ten Pro-Bowlers (both franchise records), a division title, an NFC Championship and an MVP on the team.
