I am no fan of Carolina.

 

Hatred for them still lingers in my being dating back to the expansion race, as does the nausea that accompanies the fact they made the Super Bowl before we did.

 

Them being 12-0 at the moment does not make this any better.

 

However, with the Panthers being a league best 12-0 and MVP talk beginning to swirl around Cam Newton, Nolan Nawrocki's pre draft evaluation of Cam Newton suddenly popped in my head.

 

It was an absolute hatchet job on the kid that generated a ton of controversy around it.

 

Here is an article that references it.

Among the quotes attributed to Nawrocki...

 

Quote: 

"Has an enormous ego with a sense of entitlement that continually invites trouble and makes him believe he is above the law — does not command respect from teammates and always will struggle to win a locker room. Only a one-year producer. Lacks accountability, focus and trustworthiness — is not punctual, seeks shortcuts and sets a bad example. Immature and has had issues with authority. Not dependable."

 

 

Was Nawrocki right about Newton some 4-5 years ago?

 

If not, will he offer a mea culpa?
