Worst Giant You've Ever Seen Play

MichiganNYGFan : 1/28/2015 12:56 pm
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.

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?
Please explain how in the world you consider Mark Haynes worst ever

Brandon Myers, just reading that name, pissed me the fuck off. What a turd.
Gray was worst then  
Zebra3 : 1/28/2015 11:16 pm : link
Lionel Manual and Bobby Johnson even Stacy Robinson.
These are all low quality recievers Parcells knew it. Simms was only given one above quality recievers mike Sherrard.

Brandon Myers hands down.

Duke Calhoun was a good mention as well.

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

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.

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.

David B. : 1/29/2015 9:04 am : link
deserves to be in the conversation. Worst NFL punter I've ever seen. Lost several games for the Giants.

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.
Jim Del Gaizo is a good call.  
Section331 : 1/29/2015 9:14 am : link
While Maddox contributed the worst QB performance I have ever seen in person, at least he had a track record of some success in Denver (and later in Pitt). Del Gaizo was brutally bad on a terrible Packers team, yet was still good enough to start for the Giants. That tells you how bad those 70's teams were.

Worst Giant Ever  
johnboyw : 1/29/2015 12:34 pm : link
For those of us who go back to the 70's, there are plenty of options for this dubious distinction. The one who really stands out for me though is Eddie Hicks, RB from East Carolina. Every run he made was lateral only and with the speed of a carcass. I'm not certain he ever actually turned one up and made a positive yard. He bore no resemblance whatsoever to an NFL player. Honorable mention goes to the great Rocky Thompson who, just for a laugh about the Giants scouting department from those days, was chosen three picks ahead of Jack Youngblood. That's right, Jack Youngblood. And for the next ten years when Youngblood was beating the crap out of every OL the Giants put in front of him, ole Rocky was nowhere to be found.

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.

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?!

I have a tough time harboring any resentment towards any of these guys. Shit they made it to the NFL...there's no shame in not being good enough once you're there.

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.
Matt Dodge

had the stupidest fumble I've ever seen at a game I went to in 2010 vs the Lions, he went to boot it and just landed on the ground. That pissed me off more than anything I've seen at that point for some reason. It was the first drive of the game and Matt Dodge gives up the ball without connecting it to his foot.
Which led to an early Lions

Agree with many already on this list but will also add  
Jimmy Googs : 1/29/2015 7:58 pm : link
James Brewer for simply being in another world when the ball gets snapped.

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.

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.

dave thomas was a decent starter on a squad that made the super bowl.

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.

yeah he was a pro bowl long snapper for many years, but he certainly goes into the matt dodge/chris calloway goat status.
I don't think Fricke ever made the team  
Greg from LI : 1/30/2015 3:31 pm : link
He was drafted by the Giants though.

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.
