100 Worst Players in NFL History


Anybodyhome

Recommended Posts

The NFL Network recently compiled a list of the 100 best players in NFL history, as selected by a blue-ribbon panel. This is not that list.

http://deadspin.com/5690535/the-bottom-100-the-worst-players-in-nfl-history-part-1?skyline=true&s=i

63. Rae Carruth; wide receiver; Panthers; 1997-99: Carolina's 23rd all-time leading receiver ran dreadful routes when he wasn't allegedly hiring a hitman to kill his girlfriend.

59. Chris Weinke; quarterback; Panthers, 49ers; 2001-07: Started 15 games as a 29-year-old rookie and reminded many of another Heisman winner — the immortal Gino Torretta. Started only four more games before his retirement after '07.

53. Curtis DeLoatch; cornerback; Giants, Saints, Panthers; 2004-07: Save for covering and tackling, awfully good.

25. Rashard Anderson; cornerback; Panthers; 2000-01: Made Deion Sanders look physical. An indefensible first-round blunder.

And just for laughs, this guy made the list, too. And I was at this game.

51. Kenyatta Walker; offensive tackle; Buccaneers; 2001-06: Once, while facing Julius Peppers, had three false starts called on the same down.

Walker was a huge bust and a below average RT, but no where near one of the 100 worst players ever. He was an ok RT during his peak.

Trust me on this- after Walker got called on 3 consecutive false starts he only became further agitated and actually, towards the end of that game, went after Peppers and tried to start a fight with him. Walker ended up getting benched and it was one of the biggest player meltdowns I've ever seen on a football field.

yeah i was at that game too. after the 2nd one.. i was just staring at him the whole time and you could tell he was going to do it again. Peppers owned walker so hard for like 4 years.

you mean the one where he broke about 5-6 tackles on a 2-3 yard run?

That's the one I still watch on DVD when things get tough. Not because I had a man-crush on Foster, quite the contrary, I can most liken him to Dwayne Jarrett- all the potential, just never quite got there.

But that one run epitomizes guts, determination, will and heart more than a few gazillion football plays I've seen in my many years. And Willig was out in front of it... until Foster went by him. To this day when I watch that play I get a chill and my eyes well up just a bit. Ranks right up there with the X-Clown Steve Smith 2-OT victory catch over the Rams.

I can't say it gets me as emotional as you do, but it is very motivational.

    • Yeah not taking that Burns trade was infinitely stupid. We seem to be finally righting the ship but, imo, our biggest issue since Tepper bought the team has been coaches and management having a poor understanding of where our own roster is at. Starting with that idiot Rhule drinking his own kool-aid and thinking he was going to come and take the NFL by storm with Teddy freaking Bridgewater. Could have just kept Cam on the last year of his contract and gone from there but noooo that fat slob had to feel like he was the big man on campus. First round wizard Marty Hurney who, for whatever his faults, has a freaking HOF track record with first round picks, wants to trade up for Hebert but fat fug Rhule says no. Then we kept Rhule for 3 years which is absolutely unbelievable to me and every single year he treated our roster like it was just one player away trading our draft picks for Sam Darnold and Baker Mayfield who have proven since leaving that Matt Rhule was an even bigger idiot of a coach than we thought. We finally seem to understand we are a ways off and trade CMC, but then we don’t take the actual good trade for Brian Burns who was never better than a run of the mill situational pass rusher. Then we botch the self scout of our OL (and team) after Wilks, even though they were bad before Wilks simplified the scheme, thinking they can execute whatever the hell Reich and Brown were trying to do. So we win a couple meaningless games playing dummy ball and Fitterer thinks we’re a player away again. And nobody even considers that having the slowest receiving corps imaginable with Damiere freaking Byrd, who can’t even make it to the season before being injured and cut, as your only hope for speed, coupled with the worst pass blocking OL I’ve ever seen, might lead to titanic levels of disaster. The way Canales and Morgan have been adamant about constantly bringing competition at every position has been refreshing and made a huge difference. I was kind of worried that we had fallen into our old ways leading up to the draft with all the talk of defense only and worried that they might feel the offense was set. Very glad to see they were not complacent on that. My big thing now is I’m still wondering why Evero is still here. I can’t think of a single player who has gotten better under him, and the Broncos defense got better once he left. We’ll see.
    • really good interview that gives some insight into their decision making process in making up the schedules and the issues they run into with so many people broadcasting games now. also some interesting discussion on what they have going on and where they might be heading in the international games. vikings have 2 of them, btw. we might be seeing more of that.     
    • wow i absolutely LOVED watching that.   will watch again...and again...and again.
