Strangest Giants tenure (in pictures). Post your top two.

FranknWeezer : 10/9/2018 10:37 am
Ereck Flowers' tenure was strange in that he was a bust and it was a miserable few years with him. But this thread isn't about that kind of strange. Looking for guys who perhaps had success elsewhere and things just didn't work out when they made their way to the Giants. No explanation required unless you feel the need. There are tons of examples. Here are my first two:

Arringtons knees were shot before he got here so I wouldn’t call that strange
Two greats

Trey Junkin

Herman Moore

I know Moore was shot but presumably they worked him out and had doctors look at him before he signed. And our second WR was Daryl Jones who was as close to invisible as a starting WR can be in the league.

Clams beat me to it  
bluepepper : 10/9/2018 10:58 am : link
I didn't even recognize him
Top two? Lot of contenders, but

can't find a photo of him in a Giants uniform.
Still wierd

to remember Morten Anderson was a Giant when he was the best kicker in the NFL in the 1980s for the Saints



meanwhile this gentleman was damn impressive vs. the Eagles (for older BBIers)

I was so pumped when he signed with the Giants

I recognzier a lot of these guys

Strange only because everyone thought he was done  
figgy2989 : 10/9/2018 11:38 am : link
And his play with the Giants seemed to back that up.

Need some names, please.  
Photoguy : 10/9/2018 11:40 am : link
The only one I recognize is Warner.

Thanks.
surprised haven't seen this one yet...

I've already had Herschel Walker

up there with the pic with Tyrone Wheatley

Brian Mitchell literally looked like he was 57 years old when he put on a Giants uniform.
How about Garrett?

You right
He started games when the Bachelor was airing, no?

Does preseason count?

the crazy thing is Morten Andersen  
Leg of Theismann : 10/9/2018 11:47 am : link
went on to play another 5 seasons after his year with the Giants
Morten was no Owen Pochman

Who is the second guy? #28?
Really wish I knew who #59 was

I don't know if Palmer would be considered "strange"  
figgy2989 : 10/9/2018 11:49 am : link
He was a draft pick and back up for us.

If you want to consider the off field stuff, then this list could expand tremendously.

Seems to be a lot of QB's...  
ShockNRoll : 10/9/2018 11:49 am : link
But former first round draft pick winning a SB 9 years later as a backup is pretty strange...



And the guy who burned the Giants in the Super Bowl in 2000, I believe also sparked a key component in lighting a fire under Victor Cruz's ass in 2011...

Yeah, but him starting games was an adventure
Remember this guy vs. the Cowboys that one game?

I remember a lot of people here on BBI wanted McDougle in the draft. I forgot they had him for a brief time. Good one.
Lest we forget Dan Reeves' Denver Giants...

Brandon Jacobs second time around in 2013
I didn't understand this guy beling allowed to leave  
pjcas18 : 10/9/2018 12:16 pm : link
I thought he had the perfect mix of veteran savvy and versatility - especially in the run game - for the Giants OL.

Not spectacular, but passable.

Yes, it's Dorsey Levens. The joke on BBI back during the bad days was he had 1 decent game vs. the Eagles when we were all waiting for him to do something.

The ultimate example of how important a QB's support system affects his play and results.

Yep. I believe the caption read, "Dorsey Levens was impressive against the Eagles."
