Name your 5 least favorite Steelers ever

[LPMAN]

Bored waiting for the season to start. So i made a list of the 5 Pittsburgh Steelers players i despised the most & why.
Who are your 5 ?

1. Anthony Chickillo - worst run stopping OLB in their history. Single handily lost the Bears 2017 OT game.
2. Gunner Olszewski - seemed like he was paid by the other team to give games away
3. Huey Richardson - worst first round draft pick
4. Rashard Mendenhall - never forgave the Superbowl fumble. Especially after his irritating Bin Laden comment
5. Limas Sweed - never seen a player with so much potential, but just choke under pressure

[hackjam]

1. Antwon Blake - This one is arguably unfair. Hardly his fault he was put into a starting role. But he represents everything that was wrong with the Killer Bs era Steelers to me. Just absolutely mediocre defense. You could probably swap him out with Ross Cockrell in this list too. And he really only started because Cortez Allen sucked so bad. Which brings me to...
2. Cortez Allen - Got that big contract because they didn't lock up Keenan Lewis. Cut less than a year later. I don't know if it was unjustified hype or what but the dude was not a good football player.
3. Mike Mitchell - Head hunting, little awareness, infuriating to watch him play. If he paid even a little bit of attention to the football rather than trying to take guys heads off, he could have had so many darn picks.
4. Anthony Smith - 8 billion people in the world and he had to call out Tom frickin' Brady.
5. Shamarko Thomas - As a Syracuse fan, having two Cuse guys on this list is painful for me, but good god this guy was a walking penalty.

I guess I have issues with defensive backs! Especially in the Killer Bs era.

Honorable Mentions:

• Colin Holba. Again, not his fault... But how do you draft a friggin long snapper AND THEN the dude doesn't even make the damn team!
• Lawrence Timmons - He's probably my least favorite good player I can remember playing for the Steelers. Probably the best player on some really poor defenses. For some reason, I just have visions of him chasing a TE up the seam 2-3 steps behind. I probably don't remember his early years well enough either.

1. Neil O Donnell
Just the obvious for one. I do remember reading he was sacked the most times of any Maryla nd QB. Maybe he was Shell shocked from that because I always thought he would try covering up to lessen a blow from an incoming sack. Which is what he did in super bowl 30. If he takes another second or two maybe he sees the wide receiver break the wrong way and adjusts. Something I think Terry and Big Ben would have done without hesitation

2. Tim the mouth myker
. Always seem to run his mouth and then let's Tony Martin behind them in that AFC championship game.
Although I do question why there was no deep safety remembering r seeing Darren Perry in the middle of the field

3. Matt Spaeth. Did they try to make a receiving tight end a block and tight end just because of his height? I might be a little harsh in my judgment, but Terrell suggs always seem to get the best of them without Matt putting up much resistance. And he always seem to try to intimidate him between the whistles with Matt and not putting up a fight

4. worley, Abercrombie, mendenhall
They all seem to have the tools to be great running backs but something was missing, seemed a bit soft to me. If they had Hoge's desire they would have been Stars

5. Kordell Stewart.
Fantastic when he was Slash and running the ball, but God was as accuracy horrible when trying to pass. Some of the bigger season disappointments when he was quarterbacking

[The Man of Steel]

1-Neil O’Donnell: threw SB 30 away.
2-Rashard Mendenhall: fumbled SB 45 away.
3-Bubbi Brister: epic bum
4-Anthony Smith: more mouth than talent.
5-Maurkice Pouncey: gifting the Browns a free TD on the opening play of that playoff game is unforgivable and in my opinion psychologically killed both the team and the fans.

[The Standard]

Devin Bush-the least physical LB in team history. Hell maybe the league
Walter Abercrombie-Look up "pussyfooting" in the dictionary and you'll see ol' Walter's picture
Harvey Clayton-The was a reason they called him toast
Limas Sweed-A weak mental midget
Cliff Stoudt-I know he had to replace Bradshaw but he stunk

HM-Gabe Rivera-I don't hate him but man did he **** up a promising career

Easy..

Ben.. lol. That’s a joke but I swear NJ used to think I hated him with every fiber of my being simply because I didn’t give him a lifetime pass from criticism.

1. Neil O’Donnell.. he should be at the top of everyone’s list.

2. Devin Bush - Delusional player who should’ve humbled himself after the injury.

3. Limas Sweed - I have never screamed louder at a player. Most people missed his drop a week prior vs San Diego because the game was over but he dropped a sure TD and repeated it the next week vs Baltimore. Almost feel bad for him but he had one mfkg job.

4. DJ - Dude was so scared to get hit he would run backwards. He was also delusional about his skills. Great route runner but no actual threat downfield. His recent journey from team to team confirmed his behavior.

5A. Trubisky - Probably not fair but the dude was ridiculously bad outside of the Tampa second half. Never have I seen a QB just throw the ball up and pray it landed in bounds. His last pass vs the Pats summed up his brief time here.

5B. Claypool - talk about a guy who stopped working on his craft. Big ass kid who low pointed a ton of passes and clearly believed all he had to do was show up on Sundays.

Dishonorable mention. Mendenhall. I won’t put the fumble at his feet because he got blown up in the backfield but his behavior after it happened confirmed he was a terrible teammate. Dude had tons of talent and then spun his way out of all types of yardage.

["BuzzNuter"]

1. Mendenhall, because the way he burnt all his bridges.

2. Claypool. Only good thing about him was getting the JPJ pick.

3. Cliff Stoudt. He was a bum but we found out too late.

4. Tim Worley. A waste of a high first round pick.

5. Pickett, because he didn't suck it up and compete.

Suprised no one has mentioned Jamain Balloon Stephens yet? LOL

Shamarko Syracuse Thomas...that's a good one i forgot. Didn't he guarantee victory over Patriots?

I couldn’t remember Shamrko’s name but in his defense, I will NEVER be mad at a player guaranteeing victory. He got burned early that game too but its better than Ben’s sarcastic white flag vs KC. “We have no shot, lucky to be here” I know he was being sarcastic but Najee was like “wtf?”

Fairly certain that was Anthony Smith
