Can't have a thread about the best without the worst!
Let's limit it to players expected to start or be major contributors going into day 1 of training camp. Players like Herman Moore, added mid season due to injury and being beyond horrible, are exempt.
I started paying attention mid 90s
QB - Dave Brown, Danny Kannell
HB - Joe Montgomery, Andre Williams, Herschel Walker
WR - Brian Alford, Tim Carter, Thomas Lewis
OT - Ian Allen, Rosenthal
OG - Tam Hopkins, Whittle
OC - Bober
TE - Myers, Beckham
DE - Damontre Moore, Cedric Jones, Ferrera
DT - Dwight Johnson, William Joseph
LB - Barrett Green, Kevin Lewis, Nick Greisen
CB - David Thomas, Frank Walker
S - Will Demps, CC Brown
K - Steve Christie
P - Dodge
Man this one hurt to put together..
How about Sinorice Moss at WR. I remember him sucking so bad, but we always thinking he was going to get it.
Ron Dayne, Ron Dixon, soooo many of our LB'ers over the past 10 years.
That pick may be influenced a bit by the fact that every time he missed a block or dropped a pass that was in his hands, Dad would pace and refer to him as Shirk the Jerk.
Moss, on the other hand. Major oversight on my part.

Me too, the highlight of sports fan life
You could include a laundry list of failed FA LB pickups just in the last 5 years:
Aaron Curry, LaVar Arrington, Dan Connor, Keith Rivers. Guys were absolute freaks in college and failed to produce/even play with the GMEN.
Sure, the infamous "nightmare" v Philly, which I watched live on TV. Scarred me for a while.
But in his first 2 seasons, Pisarcik started 23 games, had 16 TD passes and 37 interceptions. HOLY SHIT!
He played longer for Philly (5 years) than he did for blue (3 years), which seems appropriate, all things considered.
Career 47% completion percentage.
Career 24 TDs, 48 INTs
Career 53.9 QBR (46.3 with the Giants)
Some try to give him a break by saying it was on John McVay, that handoff. But Pisarcik sucked ... he sucked!
Note: Shirk the Jerk caught 1 pass that day for 8 yards. My worst QB and worst TE were teammates.
Also, LS needs to be Trey Junkin.

He was cut and out of the league during 1966 training camp.

i agree with damn near all of this. i was a big kevin dockery fan though, real solid nickel corner and great special teamer. To each his own.
Certainly not the player, though.
These lists bring back so many bad memories. God, Will Demps was so fucking bad.
Jeremy Lincoln?
Keep dancing down three scores, assholes.
Too young for Craig Morton?
Running backs - Oh, all too many .... Ernie Koy - he was a starter! He wasn't even a good punter and he did that too. Rocky Thompson - a first round draft choice. There were a lot of nondescript starters (Larry Heater- remember him), but these guys were really bad.
He played the worst game at the position I have ever seen in any uniform
Quote:
I've ever seen put on a Giants uniform.
Too young for Craig Morton?
Maddox's tenure with the Giants 26% completion and a QB rating of 0.0.
Morton was on some horrible teams and a big disappointment for the Giants but IMO he was a better QB than Maddox
