1. Matt Dodge (obvious reasons)
2. Luke Petitgout (idk, growing up I just always remember him getting false starts)
3. Tiki (he was my FAVORITE player as a kid, but after he ran his mouth it was just too much)
4. Ereck Flowers (obvious)


In my lifetime so far I would go with:

HANDLEY
WILLIAM JOSEPH

I'm probably forgetting someone from way back that was worse but off the top of my head this is what I got.

Tiki? At least for a few more seasons, he's arguably the Giants best RB and skill player ever.

Petitgout was a false start machine, but he's not even in the bottom 5 of worst OL over the last decade...

Tiki was a great Giant, period. It is hardly shocking that some of the older Giants didn't embrace Eli. I'm surprised really that there are any left holding grudges, Christ he retired 13 years ago!

I know he's a punchline on BBI, but Ron Dayne was far, FAR from the worst Giants, even if you limit the conversation to his position. You want to talk about first-round picks that were misspent on running backs? Tucker Frederickson was a worse pick, taken #1 overall. Guys taken after him included Dick Butkus, Gayle Sayers, Joe Namath, Mike Curtis and a bunch of other very good to great players.

Dayne was lousy, but he was just ordinary lousy, not a monumental example of suckitude.

If you saw Elvis Patterson play, you know he was not nearly as bad as advertised.

The guy had a huge interception on the first play of the fourth quarter of Super Bowl XXI that arguably Iced the game. That alone eliminates him.

Considering the laundry list of clowns that passed through this franchise, Patterson isn't close to being on Mt Suckmore.
I can really only do this since 1955  
Red Dog : 7/9/2019 9:42 pm : link
which is when I started watching the GIANTS. And I have to hold it to people who actually played for the team, or at least were really expected to play for them.

But here's mine:

* Joe Don Looney (Appropriately-named high 1st round draft pick RB who was a MAJOR head case and never played a single regular season game for the GIANTS.)

* Derek Brown (1st round draft pick TE who was scared absolutely shitless by Lawrence Taylor in Brown's first NFL practice. He then took more money for doing less for them longer than any other player they ever had.)

* Tommy Maddox (Street free agent signing with the worst actual in-game performance by any NYG QB I have EVER seen, and I've seen a lot of bad ones.)

* Ben McAdoo (I don't care if he did have a winning record his first year as Head Coach - his second year was the biggest disaster I have ever seen, and I suffered through the 15 years of lousy football. At least those teams tried.)

Guys like Rocky Thompson, Dave Brown, Matt Dodge, Curtis Riley, and even "Can't Cover" Brown don't even get near this quartet for ineptitude. But I did seriously consider Eli Apple. And then there was the low-round draft choice that Parcells cut early in his first practice. Can't remember his name or position, but he wasn't around long enough to get serious consideration for this list either.

Too many are naming HWMNBN.  
flycatcher : 7/9/2019 9:53 pm : link

Mt. Suckmore, all from that infamous play in 2003:

1. Trey Junkin: started it all
2. Matt Allen: decided to run play-action
3. Tam Hopkins: decided to go deep
4. Matt Bryant: missed a "game winning" 40 yarder minutes earlier

Some names are unfair IMHO  
uconngiant : 7/9/2019 9:54 pm : link
1. Flowers what a bust, but I blame Ross and Reese

2. Marvin Austin injured and never was what he was before the injury. Just a bad second round pick

3.George Adams, better known as no balance Adams

4.Gary Zimmerman when the Giant's could have has Reggie White when Zimmerman said he wouldn't play in NY. I know the Giants received some picks but they passed up a Hall a Fame player who would have teamed up with LT and Marshall.

Yes, thanks, Walker was the guy. Ran a 4.33 40. 6th round pick. Didn't realize he went through 5 other NFL teams before the end. He tantalized with his athletic ability, but it was his knack for being in the wrong place at the wrong time, doing the wrong thing which eventually did him in.
