Here’s my first data point: in 2013, the Panthers went 12-4 with Steve Smith. He went to Baltimore, and the Panthers went 7-8-1 in 2014.

And in 2015 they went 15-1....so it is fairly obvious Steve Smith changing teams was not the sole factor in the Panthers have a .500ish year on a first place schedule after winning the division.
Chiefs have consistently had one of the toughest schedules in the last 7-8 years--so having a first place schedule impacts them much less than other teams, since they get it all the time.
