Pretty much everybody from the Super Bowl teams and that's about it. Carson Palmer still gets a lot of love. Maybe throw AJ, Whit and Willie in there.

But players like Justin, Chad, Dillon, Pickens, Housh, Shayne Graham, Rudi, Brian Simmons and many others just aren't appreciated like they should be.

They all had great careers for us.

I think people fully appreciate Chad's football career but grew very tired of his act.
Pickens and Dillon were mega-douche bags. So it isn't a surprise the fans don't exactly care for them.

Shayne is a kicker who missed what was at the time the biggest FG in franchise history.

Simmons should get way more love. Housh maybe. Rudi...kind of a product of that ridiculous OL
