Although not at the very top of my turd list, Chester McGlockton was absolutely useless. He was fat, lazy and was stealing a paycheck once we paid him. [Reply]

I remember being somewhat excited when the Chiefs signed Bell,and he did absolutely zilch.Another name that comes to mind is Vonnie Holiday,i dont hate him but he just didnt pan out. [Reply]
I dislike guys who quit more than guys who tried and failed. I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Marcus Peters yet. If he had been a team player, I suspect we would have two or maybe even three Superbowl wins now. [Reply]

Tony G would be another reference then. Wanted out, then got to Atlanta and said Atlanta "Made his career". I still have a hard time cracking a smile when I think about his career here. And I shouldn't have hard feelings. He made a decision he thought was best and the Chiefs definitely weren't going anywhere any time soon. [Reply]

I feel like he was the latter. a good guy who just couldn't throw a great pas or make great decisions or put his sideline cap on top of his head properly. I probably put that on Pioli and management more than the guy.
I wold rather pick arrogant crap players like Scandrick or Gaines or Slappy Pistachio. People how had no business staring and who just played sloppy and poor but were mouthy and arrogant.
Cassel was a good dude. Worked hard, was liked by teammates, gave back to the community. He represents awful times and the Pioli/Haley regime. However, there was no reason to HATE him. Not his fault they gave him big money and made him a starter.
Compare him to Grbac, who was a jerk and who was retained in favor of Gannon, who went to the Raiders and made them a good team for four seasons. Bono could also be a jerk. [Reply]

Dishonorable mentions to:

McGlockton (drew so many flags we started to refer to offsides as "Chestering."
Cassel
As others have said, Cassel wasn't a bad guy; he just never should have been a starter. The fault is with the idiot who brought him in to do a job he was utterly unqualified for. Basically, he was Trubisky before there was a Trubisky.
And I should add Samie Parker. He used to have two m's, but dropped one. (That never gets old.) [Reply]
