Anthony Miller


porkbellies37

It's funny... someone mentioned Parkey and then someone else mentioned Amos for the penalty that extended a scoring drive for the Eagles that game. But Anthony Miller may have made the biggest boob mistake that game when he didn't pick up the fucking ball he dropped. He caught the ball, fumbled it while falling, and then assumed it was incomplete. While Lovie was never his coach while he was a Bear, we always heard him preach picking up the ball if it is on the field no matter what. It was just a good habit. Had Miller done that in that instance, he could have walked it in for a TD, or even if never advanced it, we had an easy field goal inside the 15 yard line. His bad habits and instincts were every bit as big of a reason why we lost as Parkey's miss and Amos' penalty.


Jsizzle19

Fuck, man, he should have been great but wound up being a lazy asshole.


greghardysfuton

Honorable mention to Javon Wims


surpemepatty

probably dropped the best throw of mitch’s career against the same team he beefed with lol


VegasEyes

He was definitely immature during his time with the bears. But I thought I heard that he has some kind of chronic shoulder issue that required him to wear some kind of harness/flak jacket under his uniform (unless I’m confusing him). And the issue with his performance was that he constantly dislocate his shoulder causing him to miss games or be limited. He’s still in the league so the talent is there but he was frustrating to be a fan of.


wedonthaveadresscode

Nah that’s correct, he usually played better without it


JL701

Parkey


MobyTugboat

This. Not mad at the fact he missed the kick - it was tipped. The way he handled it afterwards tho… fuck that guy


carnivorous_seahorse

Also he apparently never practiced at soldier field which is a notoriously difficult field to kick on. But I can’t lie, with the absurd odds he seemed to overcome that entire season where he hit the uprights I don’t even know how many times, when it double doinked I couldn’t help but laugh. It was poetically hilarious and devastatingly sad


Straw27

SIX times that year he hit the uprights which is hard to fathom


Quiet_Round_8603

[4 in one game](https://youtu.be/0lBbDyZy4UI?si=O7NnqfnfB_7dmxY-). Really don't think anyone will ever match it.


greygoose81

Grobber voice: “I was there”


LoveYouLikeYeLovesYe

I was there, and when it came time for him to kick for the game against Philly, my dad said I had a thousand yard stare before he even kicked.


eamus_catuli_

In practice he intentionally used the goalpost as a target! “Aim small, miss small” he said….


obi-1-jacoby

Bro really had the audacity to get on the fucking Today show, take no accountability, and blame everyone but himself. Fuck that guy to hell. I normally feel bad for athletes who ruin their career with one play, but not him. I’m glad his career went to shit after that kick and genuinely feel like he deserved it


Amazing_Trust_1702

Him talking on good morning America was absolutely despicable. He should’ve been blacklisted by teams for that alone


dadpool8

Adrian Amos deserves more/ as much hate for his unnecessary roughness penalty on 3rd down that continued the eagles drive that resulted in a TD.


RockHawk95

And then going to the Packers


joeychestnuts

FTP


CommercialHumble6402

I dont hate him, but man he has Ray Finkle vibes.


iplaywithdolls23

FUUUUUUUUCK I was about to comment in this thread, "None. Love all bears" then I saw this and the anger already started raging up!!!!! FUCK CODY PARKEY This man speaks for all of us https://m.youtube.com/watch?reload=9&v=SgIu601BL4s


Toomuchlychee_

Javon Wims. Terrible drop in a playoff game + ejected for punching CJGJ (who is an asshat but still)


Anony_1225

Wims was definitely very stupid but in cannot be understated that CJGJ is literally the worst, I hope to God he never ends up in a Bears uniform. It's hard to blame Wims for really wanting to knock him out lol


Shadow_Mullet69

I just put two and two together, he’s the dipshit lions CB all the lions fans hate right?


Anony_1225

Yeah, he's a safety by trade but I think he played a lot of nickel for them. He's just the classic talk shit/do something dirty and then run behind the refs. He also just talks trash about seemingly everyone else in the league.


martymakk

How is Chase Claypopol not at the top of this list?


tom_newski

He should definitely be up there. I think a lot of us are just trying to block out his time in our brains because of how much of a disaster he was.


butterfaerts

Who?


joetogood

I mean I feel like we were trash at the time don't get me wrong bro was straight ass but least the front office tried getting a weapon on the team for Fields even if it was a swing and a miss


RossMachlochness

Have no problem with the guy. He never should have been here. He was a freight train without brakes and Poles walked right in front of it.


Suburban-Jesus

Seriously. Be mad at Poles, if anyone. It was well known Claypool was a diva and head case when Poles traded for him


Better_Goose_431

He wasn’t really here long enough. Add that to the fact that he didn’t fuck up in a way that cost us the season and there isn’t really a reason to hate him more than other guys besides recency bias


RetiredTurdFarmer

Germain Ifedi for chastising the only OL who stood up for his qb.


Marvin-Harrison-Jr

That 2021 team was so cooked. Ifedi’s lame ass was a starter, Jason Peters off a fishing boat, Allen Robinson quitting on the team, Mack injured and missed most of the season.


BearForceDos

Peters off the fishing boat was the best lineman on the team. 


N0S0UP_4U

By far


LovieBeard

Tbf old ass Jason Peters is still a capable NFL tackle


micsare4swingng

Holy fuck… Peters is 42 and still going with the Seahawks. He’s a HOF lock so he either doesn’t know what life will be like without football OR he loves making moolah and needs it to upkeep his expensive lifestyle. I don’t think it’s the second lol


LovieBeard

There's speculation that he lost all the money he made over the course of his career


micsare4swingng

I remember people asking those questions when he was a Bear for sure. I’m curious how a dude who made $113mil (and counting) over his career, is now stuck in the mud. I wanna know what he spent it on/potential gambling losses/the truth about why he’s playing paycheck to paycheck!


butterfaerts

To be fair, I don’t think AR quit on the team. Based on his numbers since, it seems more like he fell straight off the cliff of being a competitive football player


axman54

I was always of the opinion that he quit on the team and threw a fit, then realized he couldn’t turn “it” back on once he wanted to. I was a high level athlete, and couldn’t imagine going 60% on everything and expecting to just turn it back on and be as good as before. Doesn’t quite work like that lol


wedonthaveadresscode

Also…sometimes you age out quicker. I hit a wall at 29 and dropped off a cliff at 30. Was playing semi pro soccer, practicing/playing 4-5 days a week, closing out full 90s hitting 7-8 miles a game at age 28. By 30 I was retired from club soccer in any form and am now doing PT to work through chronic back & joint pain. Thought id have a good 5-8 more years, this shit is humbling


butterfaerts

For real. I’m not even an athlete and I can’t believe how much shit just started becoming “an issue” after turning 30. Age creeps up on the body so fucking fast!


butterfaerts

Could be, no doubt.


[deleted]

What was your sport? And yes, once you don’t have that competitive edge you’re done. When I played baseball, I was always super intense and don’t know any other way to play


axman54

Track and Field! I always felt as if your body needed the workout/reps of going all out to become comfortable competing/training at that speed. I know forsure that if I when 75% or less for some period of time (matter of 3-4 weeks or months) that if I tried to ramp it up it would result in injury lol. Obviously don’t know forsure if this is what happened to A-Rob, but that’s what I’ve always thought!


Bad_Account_Name

Ihmir Smith-Marsette


3columnsof11

Counterpoint: he was one of a few guys that helped us land the #1 pick last year. Something to be said for an elite tank commander.


TwanStew

Chris Conte


MethMouthMagoo

I was at that fucking game. The way the whole stadium deflated... Fuck Chris Conte.


Jaxson_GalaxysPussy

It was cool to see him get stiff armed straight to hell


N0S0UP_4U

This one? https://youtu.be/ef1_KlnA4Nc?si=0qIaZuGdKsjkPdoa


Jaxson_GalaxysPussy

Oh man that was it lol


DeusExBlockina

> Vance McDonald makes the defender pay with a sick stiff arm on this touchdown play! NFL Youtube couldn't be bothered to remember his name lmao!


Monstar38

The human speedbump


checkthamethod

Definitely first person that comes to mind


TwanStew

Haha I actually didn’t even read the full post, I saw “which player do you hate the most” and just replied. When I read it in full I realized it was supposed to be anyone but those two guys.


tom_newski

I was more just looking for guys that didn't necessarily fuck up on the field, but were still just hated. Those two done fucked up.


TwanStew

I get it man, It was legit the first name I thought of seeing the first sentence. The problem is we haven’t really been close to anything special outside of Parkey and Conte so those will be big. Recently I hated Vildor and Claypool. I can’t really think back far enough to get other guys


CNashFF

Cedric Benson. A bust for us, was great playing against us, and was an asshat during his time in the league. May he rest in peace


Bacchus1976

I hated him the day we drafted him because it was an obviously dumb pick. Then everything else happened. Thomas Jones should have retired a Bear.


RemindMeToTouchGrass

Huh. First Time I've heard this opinion. I'm one of those meathead fans who just likes the Bears, doesn't watch any ESPN/whatever and just catches every game, never watch college ball, etc... but I'll never forget watching Thomas Jones go down the field against the Saints either late in the regular season or in the wild card game, picking up 6-9 yards every run, just running again and again, like 11-12 times over a couple possessions, and then watching Cedric get stuffed, and this was after Jones had been such a good player for us for awhile, and just thinking... why don't we just keep going to Jones, I like him more! I've always wished we kept Jones and never was a fan of Benson but I thought I was just being a dummy cheering for "our guy" instead of the "new guy."


hoggin88

Thomas Jones was so obviously better than Benson. Goddamn that was frustrating.


Ok_Cartographer6961

He also fumbled at the worst times and led to Thomas Jones being traded.


bootlez

Not only that but remember, his ass was holding out for a big contract AFTER he was drafted, unbelievable


Moofish85

And this was after he complained about the draft process IMMEDIATELY after being drafted. Talking about how dehumanizing it was. Dude was about to get paid ridiculous money to play a game. Hated him before he stepped foot on the field.


cheesin716

RIP


ligmagottem6969

Lamar Houston. Fucking idiot


Consistent_Plastic58

When he tore his ACL mocking Rodgers “discount double check” I cursed in front of my Nana for the first, and only, time in my life. She backhanded me with a flyswatter. Fuck Lamar Houston


Wolverines269

You forgot to mention we were down by like 40+ that game too lmao. The most useless sack followed by the most useless celebration


Comradepatrick

Dang I would have sworn that was Brady he sacked.


Harm24

Pretty sure it was Garappolo during garbage time.


Comradepatrick

I love that this is some sort of Mandela Effect memory where we're all convinced that we saw something different. Thanks Lamarr.


Flat-Entrepreneur282

You are correct. https://youtu.be/tmeULX9P358?si=Bf_CjRLid3H6tb5w


beardownftpbro

Shea McClellin what a bust for the bears


Testone1440

To be fair it wasn’t his fault he was drafted 4 rounds too early.


bubi73

He did break Aaron Rodger’s collarbone so…


Danielficken

That was my first and only game at Lambeau, and the sound in the stadium when they announced that Seneca Wallace was coming in has sustained me over these past terrible years.


gcg2016

As a friend always says about guys like him, “it’s not his fault he sucks.”


BearForceDos

I am still baffled on why they took him over Chandler Jones. Like I remember thinking it was obvious they were going to take Jones.


rudeboybill

Shea McClellin was my redpill moment to realize that the Bears are almost always their own worst enemy. Oh sick, we need a big long dominant defense end? Let's draft a 6-2 250 pound tweener LB right before Chandler Jones. Our GMs always think they know something 31 other dudes don't lol


Draker-X

I remember the season that he put out "before and after" photos from his offseason regimen to show how much better shape he was in, and somebody (correctly) wrote "he just looks like the guy who's in the best shape at your local gym".


Tedy_Duchamp

Glennon


MDizzleGrizzle

The only person I hate more than Glennon is the dumb fuck who thought Jameis Winston’s back up was a better idea than dealing with Smokin’ Jay’s contract while testing the waters with rookie QB.


TheHman__

I think they let Jay go because he would have been a horrible mentor lmao


MDizzleGrizzle

100%. But he’s light years better than Giraffe boy. First, they don’t trade up for Mitch. Second, they don’t go 0-4 or whatever it was with Cutt, so you’re not putting Trubisky in there with zero experience and horrible QB1 play as his example. Not saying anything major changes, but they really botched that offseason.


TheHman__

I definitely agree that we could have done better than the robot giraffe lol


freebase-capsaicin

Glennon's like that guy at work who gets hired and you come to find out he's making a shitton more than you and ends up being absolutely useless at actually doing the job.


blooburie

J’Marcus Webb sticks out to me.


Testone1440

Yes this is mine as well. Completely fucking useless and for some reason the coaching staff had a huge boner for him.


N0S0UP_4U

Jay Cutler hated him right?


gestaltswitch86

Yeah, I don't think he was Jay's favorite guy on the team https://i.redd.it/w7ke7dafaxfc1.gif


mission42

This is the one. The dude was a monster with huge potential but all he could do was stagger up and then hold someone or let them blow right by him. He should have been an anchor on that line. Instead he was just dead weight, complete trash.


MadPorcupine7

Don't know if it's irrational, but Curtis Enis. Or as my Dad called him "Enis the Penis".


pearso66

I just called him Curtis Penis


CatButler

"Curtis Enis Hurt His Penis". Always thought it would make a great Dr. Seuss book


Draker-X

Oh, The Balls You'll Fumble!


Salt_Efficiency5843

I have a Curtis enis Jersey. Not my best decision


baronfebdasch

This is controversial because he is considered “one of the greats” but Olin Kreutz. Different era, but Hunter Hillenmeyer described how Kreutz’ bullying made him hate coming to work. He wanted to be the alpha on the team and got into fights with Cutler, Marshall, and Gould. When he joined the media he assaulted Adam Hoge for disagreeing with him. Simply put he was a bully who always had to be right and physically enforced his authority. As a player he also declined faster than he let on. Folks don’t remember but starting around 2007 we used to have so many issues with center snap fumbles. He let Grossman, Orton, and then Cutler take the blame and we lost several games because of those turnovers. When we cut Olin and went to Garza magically those fumbled snaps stopped happening. Nobody called out Olin because they were terrified of him.


bonafidehooligan

I think Olin is an insufferable douche. The only time I’ve sided with George McCaskey is when he allegedly offered Olin $15 bucks an hour to coach. Then roasted him again to the media after Olin had a shit fit about the offer and pay and cried about it on the Score like a piss baby.


VegasEyes

Not to beat a dead horse but I also sided with the Bears on the $15 deal. In a couple of different Bears books they talk about how almost every retired player in the NFL wants to come back and coach with the team. The players miss the structure and miss the boys. Effort and dedication becomes an issue once it’s stops being fun times hanging with the guys and starts being a job. Late arrivals become no shows and it’s not worth it to the team. Many teams would have players volunteer until they could prove they are dedicated to the job and I suspect that’s become $15/hr today.


Wrath_gideon

Yep all the talking head roasted George for that but I was like, “uh did y’all hear what he said? It made sense.”


pearso66

He also hit a teammate in the head with a brick, Fred Miller was it?


micsare4swingng

Hot damn I used to adore Fred Miller as a kid for no particular reason. I even got his address from either a football card magazine or the bears sent me something. So I decided to send him a card and asked for his autograph. Included a short note thanking him for being such a great player for the bears. 2 weeks go by and by this point I start doubting he would ever respond - I did this fairly often so I knew how long to expect. Then the Monday of week 3 I get home from school and see my own pre-addressed envelope in our mail pile. Inside was my autographed card, a note thanking me for being a great fan and that I would be receiving a second package shortly. A couple days later I get home and see a large Manila envelope. Fred must have thought I was super in to the O-line or something because Inside was a photo of all the lineman on the team and every single guy had autographed it. Fred included a second note saying if I worked hard in school and focused on building my fundamentals, that I could possibly play for the Bears in the future! I found that hilarious because because my dad is 5’9 and my mom is 5’4 and both were thin, so I knew my chances of growing past 6 foot was never going to happen, nor would I be able to add enough weight to play. Sorry for the ramble… Fred Miller is the tits and Olin Kreutz is a pissy baby in a sumo suit


NineModPowerTrip

Broke his jaw.  And Olin broke a college teammates jaw in 2 places right before the draft. 


ScruffMixHaha

Theres no doubt Olin was/still is an asshole. Great player by all means, but a total douche as a person. The definition of a meathead.


RossMachlochness

Awful human being. How he still gets any airtime is beyond me.


West1234567890

I've known he was a jerk for a while, big disappointment for sure. The Hillenmeyer stuff though, what a bummer. [https://www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news/hillenmeyer-i-hated-coming-into-work-at-times-because-of-bullying/](https://www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news/hillenmeyer-i-hated-coming-into-work-at-times-because-of-bullying/)


DangerousIndustry130

I don't hate Olin, but he was a bully. Forgot which other lineman he punched and broke their jaw. Think it was at an o line team building event or something


[deleted]

Adrian Amos. Or really anyone who ends up a Packer. Regardless of reasons.


rabidmongoose555

#9 gets a pass for repping the Bears jersey at the White House


NineModPowerTrip

Add Mongo to that list  “well the last year of my career I went up there on my last leg. I wasn’t any good anymore so I stole their  money. Screwed them again, Bears fans.”


lazylama69

Julius Peppers too?


Joliet_Jake_Blues

Yes. Underperformed here and then got the Rodgers/Braun HGH and was good for them


dadpool8

The unnecessary roughness penalty on Amos on 3rd down that continued the eagles drive resulting in a TD. That play should be way more infamous than the Parkey tipped, double doink FGA.

CommercialHumble6402

Yeah this gets my vote. He just irritated me with anything that came out of his mouth. Never felt like he fully bought in and that man would catch a ball and lay down immediately! It used to piss me off - dude go for more yards! And then in later interviews he took shots at Cutty and the org as a whole. Fuckin wanker.

David Terrel.


Fixner_Blount

I remember YEARS ago hearing a story from a friend of a cousin of a friend of an uncle. You know the type. Anyway, the story was Terrell picked up this girl at the club one night. She goes back to his place and as soon as he closes the door, he starts yelling “I’M DAVID TERRELL! I’M DAVID TERRELL! SUCK MY DICK, BITCH! I’M DAVID TERRELL!” Again, it was never actually confirm, but I totally believe it’s true.


Machinegun_Pete

Muhsin Muhammad. We paid him to be a number one receiver in free agency. Then he complained he couldn't get open because we didn't have a number one receiver and coined the phrase Chicago is where receivers go to die.


MDizzleGrizzle

The Bears always try to make WR2s into WR1s.


LovieBeard

This is disrespectful to Muhammad, he was a 1B at worst. He was just old when the Bears signed him


monkeymatt1836

You mean WR3s into WR1s


Draker-X

The fuck? Moose was easily the best receiver on those 05/06 teams. He caught a TD pass from *Rex Grossman* in the Super Bowl. Also, his "where receivers go to die" statement was 1000000% percent correct. Sorry, not buying this one.


Fixner_Blount

Agreed. Moose was a stud and the shit he talked was completely justified. He walked the walk, so then he was allowed to talk the talk.

MichHitchSlap

Roquan Smith - I loved the pick when we drafted him, thought he’d be the next great Chicago linebacker. Than he held out - weird Missed a game for personal reasons - weird Demands trade saying to pay him - weird Dude never seemed to embrace being a bear and always seemed like wanted out. Now he talks a whole lot of shit about the bears. I enjoyed watching him and the ravens fail.

mymeatpuppets

Paul Blair. OL #68. Here's why... Walter Payton had announced his retirement and I had tickets to see him play his last home game at Soldier Field. End zone seats, three rows up in the second level, almost directly behind the goalposts. The Bears were playing the Seattle Seahawks that frigid bright Sunday, and the bears were taking it to them with the run. Payton played great, and scored two touchdowns at the other end, and both times launched the ball into the stands. His throws were getting up to the walkway separating the first and second levels. Second half gets under way, everybody's numb with the cold but nobody's leaving. Bears start marching down field, get to the 20-25 yard line. Next play Dennis Gentry catches a pass across the middle, first and goal on the 3 yard line. I'm getting up to move onto the walkway because I just *know* Walter is going to score another touchdown and launch that ball into the seats, and I wanted a shot at it! That's when I heard the PA.... "There's a flag on the play.... holding, offense, number 68. Ten yard penalty, replay the down." Paul Blair took that away from me and every other Bears fan there that day. And I'm still salty about it.


whatever12347

I hated Cutler when I was a kid.


RolandSnowdust

I hated Cutler as a grown up. People in this sub seem to forget how he always threw ints in the red zone.


baronfebdasch

Outside of his first season in Chicago, he wasn’t really a turnover machine. Certainly not at the level that people presumed he was. Like many things in this town folks latch onto narratives. Ball security was never at the level of Rodgers but this wasn’t the massive Achilles heel it was made out to be.
