Who is the worst Giant you've ever seen play? Dumb penalties, getting burned always, just sucking. Now I'm far from any type of football guru, but one player that really stood out to me as the worst I've seen was 2009 CC Brown. I just remembered him constantly getting burned, or a crucial personal foul that cost us dearly. I remember him being ultra bad against the Lions that year. And when the Panthers blew us out in the final game at Giants Stadium. Vikings too. Now I've only been a Giants fan since 2005 when I was 12 so maybe there's a guy in the 90s that blew harder but I'll just open up the discussion with that. Fuck CC Brown.
LOFL. So the stories are true. I'll never forgive Kanell for a game vs. the Falcons when he got hit at the goal line, coughed the ball up, and into the hands of a defender.
Same game where Stephen Davis ran into a pile and everyone thought he was down and he squirted out and ran all the way into the endzone, right?
God that sucked.
Gary Jeter,mark Haynes,Arron Pierce, Derrick Brown
Dave Brown Danny Kanell Thomas Lewis all the Reeves
New Jersey Broncos Carlton Grey Cory Widmer,Carlton Baily
Keith Elias. Lurch Greg bishop Ian Allen Herschel walker,

I can go on all day.
Worst post of the thread.

Earnest Gray - are you kidding? He caught 10 touchdown passes in 1980, and 27 in six years with the Giants. He also had 78 receptions in 1983. He was good receiver, not great, but good. Simms once said of Gray, "Nobody gets open like Earnest."
And how many passes easy passes did Grey drop. How many first downs touchdowns were you watching?
These are all low quality recievers Parcells knew it. Simms was only given one above quality recievers mike Sherrard.
He quit on the team , and more than a few times on plays
Was glad to get Collins he was a warrior.
Ever wonder why the team did keep him?
Matt Dodge was just epically bad, anyone see his hour long interview with LT2? (tynes) I love tynes btw. Plus Dodge actually cost a draft pick lol, Reese or one of his scouts was smokin the kush when they insisted on drafting this guy
Elway.

Yup, I was at that game, what a disaster. I remember him hitting the pile, and when he popped out of there and scored, it was one of the loudest boos that I have heard at a Giants game. Just a lack of effort and in the home opener as well, giving up 50 points.
But I mention him because his athleticism was comical at times

Brown and Kent Graham
Kent Graham slew a Dragon.
Elway.
That pass to Toomer was sweet. Best game that season.
There are the guys who actually played like Arthur Marshall, and the busts who never really got on the field, like Derek Brown.
Hard to argue with Tommy Maddox. Feces Brown. There are so many to choose from.
Scott Gragg
CC Brown
Matt Dodge
Jeremy Lincoln
I did the same thing after the Matt Dodge game in 2010.
I was at a sports bar with 2 of my friends and a few other people. I just sat there by myself for a few hours after everyone left and got so loaded that I could barely even stand. Had to call out of work the next day and spent about 18 hours in bed. Rough.
not sure if you're being sarcastic?

Talk about a kick to the balls. I remember I went to a sports bar in Belmont Shore to watch that one, and that game drove me to just stay there and get hammered. Had to take a cab home, call in sick to work the next day, and beg my roommate to drive me back there to get my car.

The thing about that night that put me in even more of a chipper mood was that I had a 10 hour shift over night as the cherry on top to add to that wholesome chipper mood. and by chipper mood, I mean wood-chipper. If not for my headphones, someone would've, well...ya know?!
It's the guys that ARE good enough but are too stupid or selfish...those bother me. The guys that can't be bothered to go to practice, or to learn their routes, or to keep the gun at home and out of their sweatpants...those types do more damage than any name on this thread.

Kent Graham was worse than Dave Brown? than CC Brown? than Matt Dodge?? Frankie Ferrara?? Not a chance. He was not a superstar, but he wasn't terrible, and far from the worst player on the Giants teams he played on in the late 90s let alone in history. Your memory is a bit fuzzy, bro.
This alone tells you how bad our O-line has been in that a man with no football talent whatsoever has been able to maintain a roster spot for the last several years.
We had Ben Fricke
Speaking of worst players John Markham was pretty bad or Dave Thomas
I never understood why we didn't cut his ass earlier, considering he sucked all through pre-season, he made that stupid boneheaded move and other mess ups, and there are probably 10-15 capable NFL punters out of work every season.

ben fricke was short but tough as nails.
todd pollack, a member of the rarified westchester community and BC grad, was another terrible draft pick.
I remember him as a Cowboy... was he on the Gmen at some point?
wow, at 35 from colon cancer with two young kids. looked like he had a pretty productive post-playing career too. very sad.
yeah he was a pro bowl long snapper for many years, but he certainly goes into the matt dodge/chris calloway goat status.
That's the funny thing with a few of these mentions - the topic was "Worst Giant you've ever seen play". Several of these guys (Fricke, Todd Pollack, John Markham) never played for them.
