Tough call  
81_Great_Dane : 2/5/2019 1:18 pm : link
1) Phil Simms 2) Ron Johnson 3) Harry Carson 4) Rob Carpenter ...

I'm gonna have to think about #5. LT, Joe Morris, Tiki... I liked Bob Tucker and Tarkenton when I was a kid... Eli, Bavaro... and those three receivers whose careers were too short: Steve Smith, Hakeem Nicks, Victor Cruz. Hmm

#1 - LT of course. The best I ever saw.

#3 - Tiki. Really was a horse his last 3 yrs. Carried them.
#4 - Shockey. Brought attitude and a monster game w him.
#5 - Cruz. 2011 alone was magical. The SF game. OMG.

1. Eli
2. Tiki
3. Jacobs
4. Shockey
5. Barkley

Loved watching the LT the player, but I can't put a child rapist on a pedestal. It is sickening to me to see fans parade around in their LT jersey.
Bavaro is my hands down #1  
Matt M. : 2/5/2019 1:53 pm : link
LT, Simms, Eli, Hampton probably round out the top 5, in no particular order.
Scratch that  
Matt M. : 2/5/2019 1:54 pm : link
Strahan for Hampton.

Next 5 would probably be Hampton, Jacobs, Toomer, Armstead, and Jacobs.
This is a difficult task...  
bradshaw44 : 2/5/2019 1:55 pm : link
Eli, Bradshaw, LT, Phil Simms, McConkey/Bavaro.
My personal favorites, not necessarily who I think was the best.  
truebluelarry : 2/5/2019 1:55 pm : link
Just a list of guys I enjoyed rooting for and watching play.

1) Phil Simms
2) Rob Carpenter
3) Jessie Armstead
4) Ottis Anderson
5) Rodney Hampton

I can envision Saquon Barkley up there one day.
Eli, YAT, Bavaro, LT, OBJ  
Giants61 : 2/5/2019 1:56 pm : link
When the time comes one of the above will hopefully be replaced by Barkley
Only 5?  
Eli Wilson : 2/5/2019 2:01 pm : link
1)LT
2)Eli
3)Strahan
4)Simms
5)Bavaro

LT - Best Player ever

GiantEgo : 2/5/2019 2:07 pm : link
When one stops to think about it the Giants have had in incredible number of tough heroic players over the past 30 years. The fans really don't appreciate the the success this franchise has enjoyed compared to most others.
Even after rounding out a top 10  
Matt M. : 2/5/2019 2:09 pm : link
I had plenty of guys I didn't mention who really were/are favorites of mine. Just in my lifetime, there is a wealth of players to have loved.

LT Strahan Burress Eli Armstead
Good, tough question! Do you mean as they were playing?  
sb from NYT Forum : 2/5/2019 2:11 pm : link
Simms
LT
Armstead
Tiki
Jacobs

Might be different now because Tiki turned out to be kind of a douche. But he was awesome 2000-2006, and I sure as shit routed for him then!
It is hard to limit it to 5  
arniefez : 2/5/2019 2:11 pm : link
LT
Simms
Banks
Bavaro
Eli
#1 Eli, #2 Eli, #3 Eli, #4 Eli, #5 Eli  
exiled : 2/5/2019 2:12 pm : link
But seriously:
#1 Eli
#2 Carson
#3 Tuck
#4 and #5: Some combination of LT, Strahan, Van Pelt, Jacobs, Bavaro, and some days Osi

Before too long, I think Barkley will be on this list.
my 5
