The Buccaneers have a history with a lot of highs, and a lot of lows. There have been many players, coaches, and front office people that the fans hate. We continue now to choose the most hated.
Over the last forty seasons, the Buccaneers have given their fans a lot of memories that would be better considered as nightmares. Poor on-field performances, bad coaching, and much more. There have been some strong performances, even a Super Bowl win. But a still greater number of personalities that Bucs Nation hates to this day.
But who do the fans hate the most? “Buccaneers’ Most Hated Man” continues….
RIGHT NOW!

Today we have the 8th seed vs. the 9th seed. Let’s get to it:
And in this corner, we have Trent Dilfer! Now that is a face that his Mom might love, but certainly not Buccaneers’ fans.
Dilfer was a highly touted prospect coming out of Fresno State, and why not? He completed nearly 60% of his passes in school, while throwing for 53 touchdowns versus only 22 interceptions. He had the longest streak of consecutive passes without an interception, and won the Sammy Baugh award for top passer in his final year.
When he was selected with the sixth pick overall in the 1994 draft, there were high hopes.
Unfortunately, Dilfer never lived up to those hopes. In his first full year as a starter, he threw for four touchdowns vs. 18 interceptions! Over six years with the team, he was a .500 quarterback (38-38), and posted a TD:INT ratio of 70:80. He was selected to the Pro Bowl once(1997), but that was due in part to the addition of Warrick Dunn.
He had his moments, but his time with the Buccaneers could be described by one word, “inconsistency”. He was far from the quarterback fans thought they were getting.
To put salt in the wound, Dilfer went and won a Super Bowl with the Baltimore Ravens. Where did that game take place?
Raymond James Stadium, home of your Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
So, which of these two do you hate more, Bucs Nation? Is it the loud-mouthed wide receiver, or the underachieving quarterback?
