Some quibbles with the list, but mostly good. Ricky Watters I think was well liked by most of the fanbase. He started off in the worst possible way, which may prevent him from being beloved, but he played his ass off for three years.
Many fans still have good memories of the 2004 Terrell Owens. I'm not sure I'd call him "me first", as I think he was well liked by a lot of teammates, but he was very immature and really had no idea of how damaging to a locker room he could be, when he had something of a legitimate point and split everyone's opinions. McNabb wasn't good at handling that either. But the worst bit probably was when Drew Rosenhaus got his ear, got him to fire his old agent, and was probably behind some of the 2005 shenanigans. Turned sour for sure.
Pinkston... eh. He was a one-trick pony, but it was a valuable trick until his knee injury. Would have really helped the team last year -- sort of the Torrey Smith role. There should be many unpopular players on the list ahead of him.
Mamula was a bit of a whipping boy, which is unfair. He was a very solid NFL player. Not worth where he was drafted, but ... that is Ray Rhodes again.
From a fan's perspective, though Romanowski played well for us. But we were probably oblivious to the steroid stuff and the locker room.
A lot of painful names in that list though.
