Carolina Panthers: 3 current players that fans love to hate
By Dean Jones
Which members of the Carolina Panthers roster do fans love to hate the most?
The Carolina Panthers have completely revamped their roster during a landmark offseason for the franchise. However, there are still players on the roster that fans will love to hate in 2020.
You know the feeling. A deep groan whenever someone steps onto the field, misses an assignment, or fails to make a big play. This is something that is common with every team and the Carolina Panthers are no different.
This came to prevalence more last season thanks to a disappointing campaign overall. The Panthers did manage to win four on the trot at one stage. But they tailed off dismally thanks to a porous defense and some inept quarterback play.
Long-time head coach Ron Rivera was also fired during the season, ending a long association with the organization. Things might have looked bleak last term. But things look far more promising this time around thanks to some exciting players coming into the fold and an ambitious coaching staff leading the way.
The likes of Dontari Poe, Javien Elliot, Kyle Allen, and Gerald McCoy would have undoubtedly been strong contenders for the list had they not been moved on this spring. The aforementioned players did not do themselves credit in 2019. And it came as no shock to see them moved on.
Sports-hating on players is something that comes with the territory. Some individuals handle it better than others. But it has the real scope to have a detrimental impact on confidence and performance if it is taken too far.
Here are three members of the Carolina Panthers that fans love to hate at the present time.
