Who was the worst player to ever play for your team?

TheFrenzy · 05-08-2023, 10:39 PM

Worst career? This is always tricky because they have to be good enough to stick with the team for at least a few season, but still obviously be terrible. Preseason Mike White was even worse than regular season starter Ben DiNucci, but I think LB Bobby Carpenter was a much bigger disappointment and he stuck around for years. The most frustrating player I remember was CB Kevin Smith in the 90s always drawing pass interference calls at the worst time.

Worst single game performance? Either Brett Maher in the playoffs or Chaz Green against the Falcons.

Worst human being? Maybe Greg Hardy.

Worst career - Plenty of draft busts, but I'll go with Todd Blackledge just because of the other QBs in that draft.

Worst single game performance - Lin Elliott

Worst human being - Jovan Belcher

Worst career? Tie between Kentwan Balmer (passed on DeSean Jackson), Jim Druckenmiller (passed on Jake Plummer), Gio Carmazzi (passed on Chad Pennington), and Solomon Thomas (passed on Deshaun Watson and Mahomes). Javon Kinlaw is about to join this list as well, what a bust he's been. i like him, but man, he has just wasted 4-years while we passed on CeeDee Lamb, Tristan Wirfs, and Justin Jefferson.

Worst single game performance? Jimmy Garoppolo in the 4th quarter of the Super Bowl and the NFC Title Game against the Rams. overall, he was an average QB, and at that, he was good enough to win a lot of games. in those two 4th quarters, he was absolute garbage. this 49ers team should be a dynasty right now.

Worst career? Sabby Piscitelli/Roberto Aguayo

Worst single game performance? The entire 1976 season

Worst human being? Kellen Winslow II

Worst Career: I base it on where they were selected in the draft. In this case, it's how much we gave up to get the player(A lot). Right now it's Trey Lance though injury is the main reason.

Worst human being: Unless I missed a murderer, Dana Stubblefield. Currently serving 15 years to life for raping a disabled woman.

Time to relive peoples past short comings, mistakes and stupidity. This will be such a good and positive thread.

Dallas Cowboys · 05-09-2023, 07:48 AM

Quincy Carter and Shante Carver.

What did Rentzel do? I know he was a star player for the Cowboys in the late 60's through early 70's. Thanks!

NSGJT · 05-09-2023, 08:53 AM

Patriots: Jordan Richards, James Ferentz (inexplicably long career), N'keal Harry

Celtics: Marcus Smart - not a terrible player but takes tons of threes/shots and constantly loses games for the team by not knowing his role / is sneaky bad.

EBCollectibles · 05-09-2023, 08:58 AM

One that moved up the chart quick was Malik Willis. Probably one of the worse QB's I ever seen play. He made Ryan Leaf look like a HOF'er. Titan fans you sure have something to look forward to.

Exposed himself to a ten-year-old girl. He exposed himself to underage children on multiple occasions.

He's been bounced between the practice squad and active roster more than anyone I've ever seen. Apparently just a good depth piece, and is on again for '23.

I'd throw Chad Jackson, and even Hart Lee Dykes up there to contend with Harry.

And of course Aaron Hernandez has to be the worst human.

I would agree with these.

Worst single game performance? I’d vote Kyle Williams who fumbled and muffed away that 2011 49ers team’s chance at a Super Bowl appearance. Others had bad games, but not with those stakes.

And while Stubblefield’s crimes are awful let’s not forget Lawrence Phillips who gave up the sack that ended Steve Young’s career before engaging in dv, driving on to a basketball court to run over kids and allegedly murdering a prison cell mate.

Jagsfansunshine · 05-09-2023, 10:13 AM

RJ Soward. Matt Jones & luke joeckel a close second... So many to choose from, but Blackmon was the biggest tease.

packman80 · 05-09-2023, 10:27 AM

Worst Career: Tony Mandarich, taken 2nd overall only player in top 5 not in HOF.

Worst single game: Brett Favre 6 INTs vs Rams in playoffs

Worst Person: Darren Sharper

oldgoldy97 · 05-09-2023, 10:28 AM

Josh Rosen should be on quite a few lists by the time it’s over.

Oh yes it's coming back to me. If you're going that route then Rafael Septien had charges for sexual assaulting/raping a child?

It's been a million years since it happened in the 80's.

Crazy weird fact. R. Jay Soward’s cousin was the inmate murdered by Lawrence Phillips.

Either bump the positivity thread or hush you silly goose.

asujbl · 05-09-2023, 10:51 AM

I'm not even going to count draft picks... because those get butchered all the time (Justin Gilbert is the worse though if I was choosing)

So it's a tie...

Kenny Britt and Dwayne Bowe. They both get paired together as WR's that didn't care and just wanted a paycheck

They played a combined 16 games for Cleveland - 23 catches for 286 yards - from 2 guys that had decent NFL careers

Pathetic

He must've inherited the "coach gene" that makes him worth the roster spot.

jplarson · 05-09-2023, 11:18 AM

Worst career? The Bears have had some stinkers. Chris Conte was rage inducing for being a safety who was defeated routinely by simple stiff arms. NFL blocks links of course, you can click to watch them in YouTube.

Here he is blowing coverage for a change:

Worst single game performance? The one that comes to mind is Cade McNown's game against the 49ers. Went 9/29 for 73 yards and 1 INT. Runner up would be the guy(s) covering Terrell Owens who put up 20 receptions for 283 yards and a TD.

Worst human being? Sam Hurd

I would not have pegged you as a Titans fan.

JeremyNick · 05-09-2023, 11:31 AM

Worst Career: Devin Bush. Traded up to get him, came on in his second year before his injury. Lost it mentally and physically. Made weird social media posts with kittens dying and sucked on the field. Never took accountability for anything. I’m not sure his de-evolution relative to on field production can be topped

Worst Single Game performance: Neil O’Donnell being the only QB in history to throw a SB without being paid by the other team to do so.

Worst Human: Antonio Brown. Not going to overthink this one.
