What Giant were you the sadest to see cut?

Eric from BBI : Admin : 2/24/2015 7:46 pm
Biggest emotional shock to me was Phil Simms.

Dan Doornik really pissed me off  
gtt350 : 2/24/2015 7:47 pm : link
stupid move
In hindsight...  
SanFranNowNCGiantsFan : 2/24/2015 7:48 pm : link
Cameron Wake.

And in last place, Matt Dodge.
Bavaro was a hard one  
Pitt G-man Dan : 2/24/2015 7:48 pm : link
but it was for the right reasons and then he went to the enemy.
saddest  
Torrag : 2/24/2015 7:48 pm : link
Phil hands down...most pissed off...Ed McCaffrey. Reeves was a decent XO's coach that had delusions he had an eye for players.
Ahmad Bradshaw  
jayg5 : 2/24/2015 7:48 pm : link
Understood it, but he's one of my favorite giants
Simms  
Steve in South Jersey : 2/24/2015 7:49 pm : link
and for Dave Brown. What stupid and sad day.
Phil Simms  
larryflower37 : 2/24/2015 7:49 pm : link
Was definitely the toughest cut.
Happy he retired and didn't put on a different jersey.
We let a lot walk away at the end that hurt.
Bradshaw  
pjcas18 : 2/24/2015 7:50 pm : link
knew it was the right move, but he played with such emotion and desire, he was easy to like.

And I don't think there's a second. I'm normally a root for laundry fan.

Some days - Tuck
Simms here too  
jcn56 : 2/24/2015 7:51 pm : link
really just couldn't process it for the first day, it made no sense.
Eric, why can't you start a happy thread every once in a while?  
Klaatu : 2/24/2015 7:52 pm : link
You're depressing the hell out of me.
Tuck wasn't cut  
SanFranNowNCGiantsFan : 2/24/2015 7:52 pm : link
AB sucked.
Simms and Pepper  
DavidinBMNY : 2/24/2015 7:53 pm : link
Both still bother me.
Simms  
Zebra3 : 2/24/2015 7:55 pm : link
It still feels like a gut punch.
Imagine cutting Eli?
Simms. The most unkindest cut of all.

thanks for your commentary, I'm sure you were crying in your beer when Cameron - whose name was Derek with the Giants - Wake was cut.
Simms  
Mason : 2/24/2015 8:00 pm : link
The Young hate really picked up steam after that cut.
Simms - most painful no others even close.  
Watson : 2/24/2015 8:21 pm : link
What Torrag said - Ed McCaffrey had to be the stupidest.
Simms.  
Red Dog : 2/24/2015 8:23 pm : link
Nobody else is even close.
If you were a Giant fan from 1979 to 1994...  
Big Blue Blogger : 2/24/2015 8:24 pm : link
...and didn't die a little bit that day, you have no soul.

Not that I took it personally or anything. I just lost my last trace of innocence, that's all. Thanks for bringing it up, Eric. Now I'll go grind some glass into my eyes, just to relive the full experience.
Simms is number 1  
Rjanyg : 2/24/2015 8:42 pm : link
Pepper is number 2. Good call on McCaffrey. Bavaro sucked too.
Hampton and Armstead

I was devastated  
feelflows : 2/24/2015 8:44 pm : link
when they cut Joe Morris, but then they re-signed him quickly after.. tragedy averted.
Phil Simms.  
Blackbeard : 2/24/2015 8:45 pm : link
Made me wonder if I really understand Pro football.

Agree that Bavaro cut was heart-rending and McCaffery cut was totally unbelievable.
Simms without a doubt  
blueblood : 2/24/2015 8:47 pm : link
stupid move..
I was still young when Simms was cut, so that was probably it for me.  
Devon : 2/24/2015 8:47 pm : link
The older I get, the less sentimental I am about any athlete. At this point, if it's for the good of a team I root for that a player has to go, eh, so be it.
Simms and Joe Morris  
Rich Houston-NYG-WR-1971 : 2/24/2015 8:47 pm : link
hardest cuts
I was 10 years old when Simms got cut  
David in LA : 2/24/2015 8:49 pm : link
so Simms by far.
Phil simms is no doubt the toughest one,  
wgenesis123 : 2/24/2015 8:52 pm : link
it just seemed so wrong. He was still their best option at QB and they cut him. Also it drove me nuts that he had 199 td passes and would not get number 200. He could have played and got it for someone else, but Simms was a Giant his whole NFL career and did not want that to change.
McCaffery cut was stupid, not sad.  
wgenesis123 : 2/24/2015 8:55 pm : link

I guess  
bluepepper : 2/24/2015 8:55 pm : link
Phil was the saddest. Terrible way to go and it was a shocker at the time. Assumed he'd get one more year before they turned it over to Brown.

Pepper was the most upsetting. I expected him to be one of the anchors of the D for a few more years. Gave me a bad feeling about Reeves. Good coaches shouldn't need to cut a quality player to send a message like that. Not with a veteran team anyway. And Belichick scooped him right up.
Rich Seubert  
TheShade : 2/24/2015 9:01 pm : link
Undrafted FA who played his whole career with the Giants. Was part of the BS penalty at the end of the 2002 playoff game against the 49ers. Had a horrible leg injury the next season which costed him 2 seasons. Came back and became the RG for Giants and was a mainstay on the line helping win the Super Bowl in 2007. Seubert defines what it means to be a Giant.

Once a Giant, always a Giant.
Saddest Cut  
djstat : 2/24/2015 9:02 pm : link
Phil Simms

Most Disappointing Cut - Plaxico Burress (Had to happen but still sucked)

Dude, 1) Tuck wasn't cut. He signed with another team. 2) AB being cut sucked. 3) I prefaced the Wake release with 'In hindsight'. Read pal.

dude, I was simply talking about Bradshaw. The question wasn't what was the worst cut. it was which one were you the saddest to see happen.

So, I agree on Tuck and I never mentioned him, but bradshaw, sucked or not, made me sad to see him cut.

read pal.

Yeah. AB being cut did suck. But good job failing to see my post to Pjcas18 or whatever.
I realize he wasnt cut, but free to hear offers the Giants didnt match  
mattlawson : 2/24/2015 9:28 pm : link
in a certain sense, Tuck was cut....

Yeah, I agree. It SUCKED to see AB cut. Sucked, sad...whatever word you wanna use.
Oh  
pjcas18 : 2/24/2015 9:29 pm : link
wait, your AB comment was misinterpreted because it was ambiguously written.

AB sucked didn't mean AB being cut sucked.

My apologies.

One of the toughest Giants ever.
Phil Simms  
sb from NYT Forum : 2/24/2015 10:00 pm : link
He still had gas in the tank and Dave Brown was no where close to being ready to lead an NFL team.
To me the best QB in Giants history

They cut Simms  
djm : 2/24/2015 10:08 pm : link
1-2 days after the Rangers won the Stanley cup. My least favorite nyg pr decision ever. They shit the bed that day.

Cutting Bavaro -- their heads were in the right place as Bavaro seemed cooked but they sure as fuck could have used Bavaro during that 93 season. Anyone want to tell me with certainty that the Giants don't beat dallas in the finale with Bavaro on the field? Eat a dick aaron pierce....
For me it was Shockey  
mrvax : 2/24/2015 10:20 pm : link
Every team has a douche bag player. The Giants have been very thin in that area since Shockey left. Will Hill tried but...
Simms!  
Bleedin Blue : 2/24/2015 10:30 pm : link
Bummed me out then had to watch ineptitude at QB til Collins came along. Two others were Bavaro and Morris, but they weren't close to Simms' loss.
I'm sad hosely hasn't been cut yet

ShocknAwe80 : 2/24/2015 10:43 pm : link
I am 33 so I was young, but I still have the back page from the newspaper that day.
I will never forget where I was and how I felt when Simms was cut
