One Player Currently Driving Every NFL Fanbase Nuts
There's always just one player on your favorite team that always finds a way to get your blood boiling—whether they're not living up to potential, they're making a bone-headed mistake or they simply just play too recklessly, they find a way to aggravate you.
Each and every fanbase has at least one player that irritates their fans—and if you're sitting there thinking that there isn't a player that upsets you, well then you're an ultimate homer as no football team is perfect, just ask the 2007 New England Patriots.
Players like Eli Manning in New York will always hear it from the critics as well as Eli's fellow quarterback in the Big Apple, Mark Sanchez, he'll always hear the negativity now and then.
With that being side, allow me to introduce to you each player that is most angering to their fanbase.
Arizona Cardinals: Kevin Kolb
1 of 32How much of a disappointment has Kevin Kolb been?
The Arizona Cardinals traded cornerback Dominique Rogers-Cromartie along with their second-round pick in 2012 for Kolb's services.
Kolb was brought to Arizona to be the team's quarterback of the future but has failed miserably in his first full season as a starter.
Through five games for the Cardinals, Kolb has posted a 77.2 QB rating while completing only 58.7 percent of his passes for five touchdowns and six interceptions.
Atlanta Falcons: Dunta Robinson
2 of 32Dunta Robinson is a solid cornerback with the potential to be great—but he's simply a bonehead.
Robinson has been fined twice in the past two seasons as a member of the Atlanta Falcons for making an illegal helmet-to-helmet hit.
Granted, a lot of these fines are rather questionable, but Robinson's are clearly illegal and fine-worthy.
Baltimore Ravens: Anquan Boldin
3 of 32The Baltimore Ravens are known for having an average passing attack, but when the team traded a third-, fourth- and fifth-round pick for Anquan Boldin, they figured their subpar passing attack would turn into one of the NFL's better ones; that has not been the case.
Boldin agreed to a three-year contract for about $25 million with Baltimore in 2010, but hasn't really been the same receiver that he was back in his days in Arizona.
So far this season Boldin has caught 23 passes for 354 yards and just one touchdown.
Buffalo Bills: C.J. Spiller
4 of 32C.J. Spiller could very well be labeled as a bust.
Spiller was selected ninth overall by the Buffalo Bills in the 2010 NFL draft but simply hasn't performed at the high level that the team thought he would.
So far this season for the 4-2 Bills, Spiller has ran for only 107 yards and one touchdown while reeling in 11 passes for 55 yards.
Carolina Panthers: DeAngelo Williams
5 of 32Should the Carolina Panthers have signed DeAngelo Williams to a five-year contract worth about $43 million? I'm sure the entire Carolina fanbase is asking that question right now.
The All-Pro running back has only accumulated 302 yards this season through six games—that's essentially 50 yards per game which is certainly unacceptable.
Being paid so much, Williams needs to be performing like an All-Pro as he has all the talent and upside to be one of the NFL's more dynamic running backs.
Chicago Bears: Their Entire Offensive Line
6 of 32Can I really single out one player that really makes the entire Chicago Bears fanbase angry? It's kind of hard when their entire offensive line is a load of crap—sorry for the lack of a better term.
Jay Cutler was been sacked 19 times this season, good for second most in the NFL.
The Bears have all the tools to be a very effective offensive team, but their awful offensive line appears to be holding them back from greatness.
Cincinnati Bengals: Cedric Benson
7 of 32Cedric Benson's recent legal troubles have definitely gotten on the nerves of all the Cincinnati Bengals' fans out there.
The Bengals are a surprising 4-2, which is good enough for second place in the AFC North ahead of the Pittsburgh Steelers, but Benson's upcoming one-game suspension and his inability to be a major threat on the ground this season is definitely a huge disappointment.
Benson has accumulated only 458 yards so far this season as he's averaging 3.9 yards per-carry.
Cleveland Browns: Peyton Hillis
8 of 32Does the Madden Curse actually exist?
The 2012 Madden cover-boy has been a huge flop thus far this season as he's played only four games due to illness and injuries.
Hillis has ran for only 211 yards and two touchdowns this season—he's definitely a long shot to match his 1,177 yards from last season.
Dallas Cowboys: Tony Romo
9 of 32You only can blame Tony Romo so much, as a lot of the blame should be placed on head coach Jason Garrett—however Garrett is not a player and Romo is.
Romo has thrown away two games so far this season as he collapsed and was picked off in crucial situations with the lead against the New York Jets and the Detroit Lions.
Granted, Romo does have a 91.7 passer rating but his Dallas Cowboys are underachieving this year with a 2-3 record.
Denver Broncos: Eddie Royal
10 of 32What happened to Eddie Royal?
Back in 2008 he caught an incredible 91 passes for 980 yards and five touchdowns; last season he caught 59 passes for 627 yards and three touchdowns; and so far this season he's played in only two games, as he's caught four balls for 51 yards and no touchdowns.
The Denver Broncos offense is pretty bad as it is, but could be a whole lot better if Royal could stay healthy and find a way to be productive on the field.
Detroit Lions: Jahvid Best
11 of 32If Jahvid Best was more consistent on the ground, then the Detroit Lions offensive attack would ultimately be unstoppable.
Best is averaging 4.6 yards per-carry, which is pretty impressive, but he's only had one 100-yard plus rushing game and has only scored two touchdowns on the ground.
The second-year running back out of Cal needs to be a bit more productive for the Lions if the team wants to make a deep playoff run.
Green Bay Packers: Ryan Grant
12 of 32You can definitely make an argument that Ryan Grant isn't getting the ball enough, but either way he's not producing at a level that he's capable of doing.
Grant has run for only 200 yards this season—yeah, that's right, only 200 yards. He's averaging 4.2 yards per carry, which is decent, but has yet to score a touchdown this season for the Green Bay Packers.
Houston Texans: Arian Foster
13 of 32So much for being the NFL's top running back a year ago, Arian Foster has been a complete bust this season for the Houston Texans.
I do understand that Foster had suffered a hamstring injury earlier this season, but it's the middle of October and he's still not a legitimate offensive threat.
Foster has had only one game with 100-plus yards and ran in just one lone touchdown this season while tallying up 305 yards in four games for the Texans.
Indianapolis Colts: Pierre Garcon
14 of 32Pierre Garcon is the ultimate boom-or-bust wide receiver.
I do understand that Curtis Painter is Garcon's quarterback, but Painter isn't all that bad and Garcon has had flashes of brilliance.
Garcon has had two games with over 100 yards receiving but the rest of his games have been under 82 yards receiving.
Thus far, Garcon has 27 receptions for 472 yards and four touchdowns—definitely impressive numbers, but if he was always explosive then he'd be one of the league's top receivers.
Jacksonville Jaguars: Maurice-Jones Drew
15 of 32It's kind of hard to be angry with Maurice Jones-Drew, but he's the Jacksonville Jaguars' best player and needs to be doing a bit more in order for the team to win games.
I do realize that the Jags' head coach Jack Del Rio needs to be fired and that he's an awful head coach, but he's not a player.
Jones-Drew is a player and needs to be more of a team leader and take control of the team.
Kansas City Chiefs: Thomas Jones
16 of 32With Jamaal Charles going down, Thomas Jones needed to step up in a big way; he has not.
Jones has been absolutely pitiful this season as he's ran for only 166 yards in five games with average of 3.4 yards per carry.
Kansas City fans definitely expected a whole lot more out of Jones, as he's been a very productive running back over the course of his career.
Miami Dolphins: Reggie Bush
17 of 32I think that it's pretty clear by now: Reggie Bush is not an every-down back. (He shouldn't even be a running back and I think that the entire Miami Dolphins' fanbase realizes that.)
Bush has been absolutely terrible this season with only 190 rushing yards and 93 receiving yard with no touchdowns—what a complete waste of talent.
Minnesota Vikings: Donovan McNabb
18 of 32I can only imagine how happy Minnesota Vikings' fans are now that Christian Ponder is the team's starter moving forward rather than Donovan McNabb.
McNabb was brought in this past offseason to be the team's starting quarterback this season—he couldn't even last six games as the team's starter.
The 35-year-old is clearly old and washed up and his skills have completely diminished. McNabb has recorded an 82.9 quarterback rating, which isn't so bad, but he has only thrown four touchdowns this season.
New England Patriots: Chad Ochocinco
19 of 32Chad Ochocinco has been arguably the most disappointing offseason acquisition in the entire NFL.
As soon as people heard the news of No. 85 being traded to the New England Patriots, they immediately thought of the potential deadly connection of Tom Brady to Ochocinco—much like Brady to Moss, but not so much.
Ochocinco has been a complete bust; it's either he doesn't know his plays or that his skills are simply diminishing at 33 years old.
No. 85 has yet to score a touchdown this season, but at least his followers on Twitter are still there!
New Orleans Saints: Cameron Jordan
20 of 32Hey, there's nothing too much to hate about in New Orleans' these days: Their team is off to a solid start and all of their players appear to be playing at a high level—however I do have to choose a player and that's the rookie Cameron Jordan.
I will give Jordan some slack, but being selected 24th overall in this year's draft, New Orleans Saints fans immediately expected big things out of him.
The Cal product was a very effective pass rusher at the college level, but throughout his first six games, he has yet to record a single sack.
New York Giants: Eli Manning
21 of 32To me, this is a no-brainer: Eli Manning can never be just good, he's either phenomenal or he's flat out terrible. For the most part he's been phenomenal this season for the New York Giants.
Manning was an interception machine last season, but he's somewhat turned it around this season. However, Manning still does have three games in which that he's thrown an interception, with one of those games being a three-interception outing.
Manning has all the talent in the world, it just angers Giants' fans when they don't see him living up to his potential.
New York Jets: Mark Sanchez
22 of 32Is it just me or can we all agree on that Mark Sanchez is the weak link of the New York Jets and that he's been holding the team back ever since the '09 draft?
Sanchez is a very inaccurate passer but when he performs at a high level, the Jets are pretty damn hard to beat.
The Jets have a very good football team, but when Sanchez isn't at his best, the team most definitely suffers in a big way.
Oakland Raiders: Darrius Heyward-Bey
23 of 32Darrius Heyward-Bey is arguably the fastest wide receiver in the NFL but he still lacks fundamental wide receiver skills—which causes fans to get aggravated with him.
Heyward-Bey is an extremely streaky wide receiver that's either white hot or ice cold, it's one of the other.
Luckly, Heyward-Bey has been very productive this season as he's had three games with 80 or more receiving yards and only two games that he's not reached 50 receiving yards.
If Heyward-Bey can just catch the ball in stride, he's virtually uncoverable.
Philadelphia Eagles: The Entire Team
24 of 32How can you even argue on this one? The Philadelphia Eagles have been the ultimate underachievers this season with a lousy 2-4 record—so much for being the "Dream Team," Vince Young.
I am almost positive that every single Eagles fan out there has wanted to destroy their television when they've watched the Eagles play this season. This team has so much talent yet still finds ways to lose games.
A team this talented should be losing only four or five games in the entire season.
Pittsburgh Steelers: Rashard Mendenhall
25 of 32So far this season, Rashard Mendenhall has been a major disappointment.
Besides last week's 146-yard rushing game, Mendenhall's season high was a mere 66 yards—how pathetic is that?
Mendenhall is a very important part of Pittsburgh's offense, and when he's not performing, the Steelers fanbase becomes very angry as their team is likely losing the game.
San Diego Chargers: Malcom Floyd
26 of 32Like many wide receivers on this list, Malcom Floyd has the potential to be a very productive wide receiver but is one of the most streaky receivers in the league.
So far this season, Floyd has caught only one touchdown and has had only one game with 100 receiving yards—which is somewhat of a problem.
In order for Vincent Jackson to succeed, Floyd needs to be productive and he needs to stretch the field as he's the team's deep threat—he has not been doing a very good job at either this season.
San Francisco 49ers: Braylon Edwards
27 of 32Nowadays in San Francisco with a 5-1 football team, there isn't much to be angered by—but of course we have to find someone and that someone happens to be wide receiver Braylon Edwards.
Edwards was signed to a one-year, $1 million contract this offseason but has done nothing for this team's offense this season. Edwards has been dealing with a knee injury all season, as he's only played in the first two games, making only three receptions for 48 yards and no touchdowns.
San Fran's offense is just fine without Edwards, but if he's healthy and effective, the team's passing attack would certainly improve a bit.
Seattle Seahawks: Sidney Rice
28 of 32I guess that it is true that wide receivers go to Seattle to die; prime example: Sidney Rice.
Rice is an extremely talented receiver that has the ability to do several things that could shred opposing defenses—but he's inconsistent and never healthy.
Rice was signed to a five-year, $41 million contract this past offseason but has played in only three games this season for the Seattle Seahawks—how frustrating is that?
St. Louis Rams: Sam Bradford
29 of 32If I was a St. Louis Rams fan, I'd be so frustrated and upset with Sam Bradford, you don't even understand.
Last season was almost a trick for St. Louis fans, as he's been a complete disappointment this season.
The 2010 offensive rookie of the year has posted a 72.0 quarterback rating while completing only 52.8 percent of his passes and leading the team to a terrible 0-5 start.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Mike Williams
30 of 32Tampa Bay is one place that it's sort of hard to find a player that the fanbase actually is upset with but I'm going to go with wide receiver Mike Williams.
Last season for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Williams was Josh Freeman's favorite target as he caught 10 touchdowns as a rookie—how impressive is that? Now in 2010, it's a different story: He's caught only one touchdown reception as well as snagging 25 passes.
Williams is clearly not the same wide receiver that he was a year ago as a rookie—I'd be upset if I were a Bucs fan.
Tennessee Titans: Chris Johnson
31 of 32I hope that Chris Johnson is content with his whooping five-year, $55.26 million contract, as he sat out the entire preseason and training camp. Holding out has clearly effected CJ2K.
Johnson has been a complete disappointment and bust for the Tennessee Titans' this season and I am sure that all Titans' fans are livid with Mr. Johnson.
Thus far, Johnson has ran for only 250 yards in five games, averaging only 3.0 yards per-game while scoring only one single touchdown—Titans fans aren't the only ones angry as I can assure you that many fantasy football owners are pretty upset with Johnson too.
Washington Redskins: Rex Grossman and John Beck
32 of 32Whether it's Rex Grossman or John Beck starting at quarterback for the Washington Redskins, I can assure to you that all Washington fans out there are pretty angry with the two of them.
Believe it or not, the Redskins actually have a solid football team, besides the quarterback position.
If the team could somehow get consistent and productive play out of their quarterbacks, then they'd be a definite playoff contender in the NFC East.
