Favorite whipping boys from the glory years

[punit328]

Who were some of the players from the glory years of the 70’s and 90’s that you loved to rag on? I’m talking about players that were the equivalent of a Jeff Heath or Nick Hayden type player back then, those who didn’t deserve to see the field. Even though those were our glory years, I’m sure there were players that you just loathed.

At first fans couldn’t wait to get rid of Aikman, so many wanted Walsh instead!

Those are Facts....and Jimmy used a 1st RD equivalent Supplemental Pick on Steve Walsh...

Not everyone was sold on Troy...even Jimmy Johnson hedged the bet

Uh, I would say Garrett, except he actually was pretty good for a back-up then.

Why do some feel they need a whipping boy all the time.
Why not root for every player.

Pup was pretty solid, maybe you're thinking of Larry Brown

CB Larry Brown coverage used to give me fits.

Most of us knew the Raiders were buying fools gold when they signed him after the Steelers QB odonnel gifted him with a couple gimme interceptions in the SB

Nah both were like Lewis and Brown, memory escapes most people as they were solid but inconsistent and not always great, reminds me Anthony brown and Lewis..seriously

Kevin Smith was much better than brown or Lewis, if memory serves correctly he shut down Jerry Rice in the NFC title game. Rookie season

You dont look for a whipping boy when you are winning championships
