Ereck Flowers is the most hated player I could ever remember the Giants having.
Rueben Randle was disliked. So was C.C. Brown. So was Will Beatty.
But Flowers is past the point of being disliked. He is hated among the fanbase.
He is a punch line. People post pictures of garbage cans and make memes of him.
Why is the distaste so strong for Flowers?
Because he was the man responsible for protecting Eli Manning.
Manning is a god among the fanbase.
He delivered two Super Bowl championships and has handled both his success and failure in the same manner: with class.
