Do you ever have the feeling that you simply do not believe in your favorite team, coach or player? Don't worry, it's okay—you're still a fan.
There are plenty of teams, players and coaches across the NFL that I don't believe in, and I'm sorry that you will agree as well. In fact, there isn't just plenty, I have come up with 50 of them! That's right—there are 50 frauds across the league.
Here are 50 teams, coaches and players we don't believe in.

Jack Del Rio
1 of 50How does Jack Del Rio still have a job?
I am sure that most of us are wondering that.
Del Rio has an extremely mediocre 65-63 career regular season while posting a 1-2 playoff record.
It's almost like Jacksonville's ownership doesn't want to spend any money on a new head coach, which explains why Del Rio is still around.
Randy Moss
2 of 50I know, I know, Randy Moss is retired—but he's still a fraud.
Moss may put up stellar regular season stats, but when it comes playoff time, he rolls into the fetal position.
For an example, during the 2007 playoffs with the New England Patriots, Moss played in three games and only caught seven passes for just one touchdown—five of those passes coming in just one game.
Jay Cutler
3 of 50Now, Jay Cutler is a boarder-line fraud—but he still is.
Cutler has all the talent in the world but still finds ways to simply crap the bed. At this point of his career, he should be an elite quarterback but he's just a mediocre one.
Eric Mangini
4 of 50Thank God that Eric Mangini is no longer a head coach in the NFL—he's nothing but a fraud.
Does Mangini's career 33-47 record impress you? I hope not.
San Diego Chargers
5 of 50You can probably label every single play and coach to be a San Diego Charger a fraud—the team has yet to win a Super Bowl despite multiple regular seasons of domination.
LaDainian Tomlinson
6 of 50LaDainian Tomlinson was once the league's best running back, but at this point of his career, he's nothing but average.
In fact, despite LT's dominance in the regular season, he has never performed well in the postseason.
John Fox
7 of 50Was John Fox ever a good head coach? I mean, his career 73-71 record is average at best.
Wade Phillips
8 of 50Why was Wade Phillips ever hired to be a head coach? Granted, he's one of the best defensive minds in the game, but he should not be a head coach—hence why the Houston Texans have hired him to be their defensive coordinator.
Phillips has a career regular season record of 67-45, which is decent, but when it's playoff time, his teams have gone 1-5.
Rex Grossman
9 of 50Why are the Washington Redskins planning to start Rex Grossman as their starting quarterback? He's awful. Just look at his career 40 touchdowns and equal amount of interceptions.
John Beck
10 of 50Just like Rex Grossman, why is John Beck even being considered to be a starting quarterback? I'm sorry, but for a lack of a better term, he sucks.
He hasn't played a game since 2007! That should raise a few red flags.
Brandon Meriweather
11 of 50Despite being selected to two Pro Bowls, Brandon Meriweather is just an average safety in the NFL.
Meriweather is loaded with talent but has yet to apply it to his full potential on the field.
David Garrard
12 of 50David Garrard is just an average quarterback. He's good enough to win you regular season games but he will not get you deep into the playoffs—sorry, Jags fans.
Cam Newton
13 of 50I know, this is simply just a prediction, but it's a bold one.
Cam Newton is going to be a bust as I believe that he's nothing but a fraud. Newton will be nothing but a product of the spread offense from the college level.
Albert Haynesworth
14 of 50What has Albert Haynesworth actually done in his NFL career? Seriously?
He's only played one full NFL season and has been a major liability throughout the majority of his career.
Tony Dungy
15 of 50I hope that Tony Dungy never returns to the NFL to be a head coach—he's a fraud and a choke artist.
Sure, Dungy has an amazing regular season career record of 139-69, but he's just 9-10 in the playoffs.
Did you know that a team that Dungy coached the year before has gone to the Super Bowl with a different coach twice? Yep—the 2002 Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the 2009 Indianapolis Colts.
Mark Sanchez
16 of 50Is it just me, or does a career 54.4 completion percentage not impress?
Mark Sanchez is a fraud, end of discussion.
Matt Forte
17 of 50How good is Matt Forte? Is he good enough to be demanding a new contract? I don't think so.
Forte may be a touchdown machine, but averages only four yards-per-carry—nothing special.
Alex Smith
18 of 50When you're selected first overall, then it's expected that you're going to succeed—but Alex Smith hasn't come close.
Smith has a career 72.1 quarterback rating.
Philip Rivers
19 of 50Yes, Philip Rivers is a fraud, believe it.
Rivers has a career 55-25 regular season record but has done absolutely nothing in the playoffs.
Ryan Fitzpatrick
20 of 50How is Ryan Fitzpatrick a starting quarterback in the NFL? He's nothing but a backup quarterback. But, I guess that's how bad the Buffalo Bills are.
Reggie Bush
21 of 50Reggie Bush is nothing but a complete fraud and a bust.
Bush was selected second overall in the 2006 draft and has been extremely inconsistent and hasn't been able to stay on the field on a regular basis.
Steve Slaton
22 of 50After Steve Slaton's amazing 1,282-yard rookie season, he has done didley-squat—he's just fallen off of the map.
C.J. Spiller
23 of 50C.J. Spiller has so much talent and potential, but amounted to absolutely nothing during his first year in the league. The jury is still out on Spiller.
Chad Henne
24 of 50Chad Henne could very well have the biggest arm in the NFL but doesn't seem to apply his talent to the field.
Henne has a career 75.3 quarterback rating and has yet to solidify as the Miami Dolphins starting quarterback.
Tony Romo
25 of 50Tony Romo is an amazing quarterback, but let me rephrase that, he's an amazing regular season quarterback. Romo has been nothing but a choker in the playoffs.
Derek Anderson
26 of 502010 proved that Derek Anderson is, without a doubt, a fraud.
Anderson posted an awful 65.9 quarterback rating with the Arizona Cardinals last season and is now the third-string quarterback with the Carolina Panthers.
Jimmy Clausen
27 of 50Jimmy Clausen may have been only a rookie last season, but he was awful, despite the hype surrounding him coming out of college.
Clausen tossed only three touchdowns in 2010 to go along with his nine interceptions.
Andy Reid
28 of 50Philadelphia Eagles head coach Andy Reid has had his fair share of success during the regular season but has yet to win a Super Bowl.
Reid has a career 118-73-1 record in the regular season and just a 10-9 record in the playoffs.
Pete Carroll
29 of 50Pete Carroll should not be in the NFL—he's the perfect college coach but not so great of an NFL coach.
Carroll has a career 40-40 record in the NFL, which is far worse than his major success at USC.
Matt Hasselbeck
30 of 50Matt Hasselbeck may have won a few games in Seattle, but he was never able to take his team deep into the playoffs and win it all.
Hasselbeck is now competing with rookie Jake Locker to be the Tennessee Titans starting quarterback.
Mike Shanahan
31 of 50Yes, I know, Mike Shanahan is a two-time Super Bowl winning head coach, but let me ask you this: what has he done outside of John Elway? That's what I thought.
Roy Williams
32 of 50The Dallas Cowboys really swung and missed when they traded for Roy Williams as he only caught 94 passes in two-and-a-half seasons with Dallas.
Williams will try to turn around his career now that he's a member of the Chicago Bears.
Chicago Bears
33 of 50Forget what I said in the previous slide, Roy Williams will likely not have a shot at turning around his career, as he's now a member of the frauds of Chicago, the Bears.
How many former head coaches are on Chicago's staff? Mike Martz, Rod Marinelli and Mike Tice—there's got to be a reason why none of them are head coaches in the league anymore.
Lovie Smith
34 of 50Continuing on with the knocks against the Chicago Bears, Lovie Smith is not fit for a head coach in the NFL.
Smith may have a career regular season record of 63-49, but has been awful in the postseason.
Josh McDaniels
35 of 50Josh McDaniels is right where he belongs, as an offensive coordinator with the St. Louis Rams.
McDaniels' time as head coach of the Denver Broncos was disastrous as he posted an 11-17 record.
Braylon Edwards
36 of 50Braylon Edwards may not believe it, and some of you may not either, but he is a complete fraud.
Edwards has stones for hands and is good for two or three drops per game.
Matt Leinart
37 of 50At this point of his career, Matt Leinart is a big-time bust—he's not even a starting quarterback!
Leinart absolutely sucked with the Arizona Cardinals while posting a 70.8 quarterback rating and winning seven out of his 17 games started—he is now the backup quarterback in Houston.
Tarvaris Jackson
38 of 50Tarvaris Jackson is projected to be the starting quarterback for the Seahawks, but he's definitely not starting-quarterback material.
Jackson has a career 58.7 completion percentage with a 10-10 record as as starter. How can you even consider him to be a starter?
Jim Caldwell
39 of 50Is it just me, or could the Colts put a cardboard cutout of Jim Caldwell on the sidelines and no one would know the difference? I know that I couldn't!
Caldwell is nothing but a sock puppet and a fraud. I feel bad for Colts fans, as their time with Peyton Manning is limited and Caldwell could be blocking their chances of a Super Bowl.
Eli Manning
40 of 50I'm sorry, but when you throw 25 interceptions in a season, you should not be considered a great NFL quarterback.
Eli Manning is a fraud.
Seattle Seahawks
41 of 50The Seattle Seahawks are reigning NFC West champions, but is that something to be proud of? The Seahawks became the first team in the Super Bowl era to make the playoffs with a losing record of 7-9.
Now that's something not to be proud of.
Houston Texans
42 of 50Year in and year out, the Houston Texans are always expected to make the playoffs, but have yet to.
With so much talent on the team's roster, will 2011 be the year that the Texans finally make it over the hump?
Gary Kubiak
43 of 50How does Gary Kubiak still have a job? He's had extremely talented teams over the past few years with Houston, but has yet to make the playoffs.
His career record of 37-43 isn't too appealing to me, how about you?
Terrell Owens
44 of 50Terrell Owens is definitely one of the greatest wide receivers of all time, but what has he done in the playoffs?
I realize that football is a team sport, but someone with the caliber like T.O. should be able to carry his team a little bit more than he has.
Cincinnati Bengals
45 of 50Entering 2011, the Cincinnati Bengals look like a Triple-A baseball team. They're going to be big-time frauds this year; absolute jokes.
Andy Dalton
46 of 50Poor, Andy Dalton—he's going to be a fraud in 2011.
The rookie out of TCU is going to be pretty much thrown to the wolves in Cincinnati this year, as he'll likely end up being the starting quarterback for the Bengals.
Mike Brown
47 of 50How does Mike Brown own the Cincinnati Bengals? I feel like that he knows absolutely nothing about football.
New York Jets
48 of 50There is always so much hype around the New York Jets, but what have they done? All I know is that Rex Ryan has been predicting a Super Bowl for the past couple of years but has choked in back-to-back AFC Championships.
Shawne Merriman
49 of 50It's a fact: Shawne Merriman was a steroid user, which makes him a complete fraud and a cheater.
Chris Johnson
50 of 50Is Chris Johnson really the best running back in the NFL? I don't think so.
There is no reason why CJ is holding out and demanding a new deal.
