Which player annoys you the most? The one that makes cheering against them easy...
I have a few, ranked from most tolerable to unbearable:
3. Jay Cutler - Very few people complain more than Jay Cutler. I feel like that part of him is dying off a little, but it is still there. He has shown brilliance as a passer but also consistent makes horrible decisions. Kinda like a poor man's Brett Favre... A gunslinger who forgets the safety is on every now and then.
Off the field, Jay is supposedly a very charitable dude, so props to him for that.
2. Richard Sherman - All his talking got old really fast. This is the kind of guy that puts a huge target on his own back and makes me miss the days of superstars who were insanely talented, yet humble. Barry Sanders anyone?
1. Colin Kaepernick - Speaking of self-absorbed players, Colin K. is the worst of the worst. He looks like he walked right out of a douche meme and onto a football field.
I stumbled upon a link that showed Kaepernick's and Russell Wilson's instagram accounts side by side. While Wilson had pictures of himself meeting fans in hospitals, Kaepernick's were sports cars, shoe collections and pool parties.
So he can kiss his arm all he wants... Other players are kissing their Super Bowl rings.

Yesterday, on MNF, Kaepernick said that not many QBs have tattoos, but he has tattoos. So that's a strong statement that he is making and it makes him a very different kind of QB.

.
couldn't agree more. not to mention that, though I admit he is a good cover corner, he benefits greatly from having the best front 7 in the NFL. If seattle's D-line and LBs didn't constantly get pressure on the QB, Richard Sherman would not be "Richard Sherman."
Not an ounce of humility in Sherman, makes me miss the great DBs like Darrell Green
Take Jordy Nelson vs Dez Bryant... I think they are very close as far as talent goes... However, one is humble and one is a total head case.
I guess we live in the age of selfish players now and I have to face it, but still...
To me, a dude who is talented and lets the plays do the talking is WAY more intimidating than the way a lot of current playmakers make total clowns of themselves.

Yes!
Another great player that comes to mind is Calvin Johnson. One of the best in the game and never any BS talk from him ...

Yep, another great example. He has clearly been the best wideout for years now... And he would have every right in the world to claim it... But does he? Nope. He goes out and does his job. Nit to mention the fact that his team's late season struggles have to be frustrating.
Peyton Manning, Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees.. All insanely successful QBs... Yet Kaepernick has more ego than all three combined.
Sad.

Amen.
I'm really old school and was irritated even back in the 60s with big mouth guys like Namath and guys spiking the football, doing dances, taunting, etc. But I guess most fans prefer this behavior in the name of "showmanship." They consider it entertaining.
To each his own, but give me Unitas who shrugged his shoulders whether throwing a TD or an interception, Jim Brown actually acting bored and walking slowly after a great play.

A couple weeks ago Peyton Manning threw a TD to Demaryius Thomas, ran over and shook his hand. I thought it was funny.
Players should be emotionally invested in the game. They should be pumped to score a TD or get a sack. That being said, the celebrations are a bit much for me. Quit celebrating doing your job.
You shouldn't be dancing around like a moron after a sack when your team is losing 42-3.
Tulloch spraining his ACL while celebrating a sack on Aaron Rodgers was classic. Not that I like to see players get injured, but that was ironic timing. Reminds me of the Grammaticas.
I did used to find Chad Johnson's celebrations funny, they got old quick though.
