Who is one Giant that you wish won a Championship/Super Bowl

Anakim : 9/20/2021 4:31 pm
with the New York Football Giants?

Oh, and you can't say Jessie Armstead because he has a SB Ring from 2011 :P




Tiki was the first one to come to mind because was pretty much our entire offense for a time, but the way things ended was pretty acrimonious. Still, if he stuck around one more year...well, who knows? Butterfly Effect and all that.


But I would pick Michael Barrow. Dude was just an absolute truck in the middle and played the game so f'n hard.

Armstead and Barrow  
Mike from SI : 9/20/2021 4:36 pm : link
were for some reason the first 2 names that popped into my head. Keith Hamilton as well. It's great that some of the guys I started watching in the 90s got their 07 ring (Toomer and Strahan).

Did Howard Cross win a ring? I feel like he was on the team for 30 years.

Cross was on the SB 25 team

He did; he was on the Super Bowl 25 team.
Ike Hilliard  
Chris684 : 9/20/2021 4:39 pm : link
Not only because a pretty well distinguished NYG WR, but also, anyone who was ever at Training Camp up in Albany knows that Ike Hilliard accommodated every last fan that wanted to interact with him. Even if it meant standing out in the sun and heat after practice for an hour. He is just a great guy.

I'd agree with Van Pelt.  
Mad Mike : 9/20/2021 4:44 pm : link
And Dave Jennings was here a long time on a lot of bad teams. Would've been cool if we'd put it all together while he was still here.
Tiki is my first choice  
Greg from LI : 9/20/2021 4:46 pm : link
And, if I can't say Jesse Armstead, then Keith Hamilton is my #2.`
If I can’t answer Armstead, then Kerry Collins

Not his fault McVay called a run. His grandson can take a flying leap too.
Tiki  
Dennis From Madison : 9/20/2021 4:51 pm : link
I'm over my disdain for his antics and he was the offensive player I loved watching the most. I appreciate him even more now with the disappointing Saquan.

Tiki did it all - unbelievable runner with crazy power and balance for his size, great receiver, fabulous blocker.

Jerry in_DC : 9/20/2021 4:53 pm : link
I just wish his career had worked out differently. He was so damn good and really the only interesting thing about this team in almost 10 years.

But he handled himself poorly. And, like so many Giants in the past 15 years, long term injuries prematurely eroded his ability.

There is a world in which he is an absolute Giants legend. Not this world unfortunately.

A Ron Johnson/Fran Tarkenton team wining a Super Bowl around 1970 or so would have probably changed my whole attitude about sports, and maybe about life in general. Seriously, growing up with my favorite teams ALWAYS sucking really shaped some of my whole outlook.

I wish Simms was the starting - and winning - QB against the Bills in SB25 so he would now be in the HoF.

I know this doesn't answer this specific question, but I have always been irritated the Simms isn't in Canton.
Jesse Armstead, Tiki, and Keith Hamilton.

He should be. And I think he's a lock if he's the starter & we win XXV.

Great summation of Ike as a Giant Chris684, my son wore #88 on his youth football team and I went up to Albany and Ike did as you said. He signed an autograph to my son who was in camp that day so I did not bring him. The next year I brought my son to Albany and we got Matt Bryant's autograph. He had a long career and was very nice to us. My son has passed on but those moments bring back happy memories.
My mind went right to Tiki and Hamilton on the original question. Those 2 players kept us in the hunt and were tough as well as fun to watch.

Leg of Theismann : 9/20/2021 8:49 pm : link
But really that whole crew of Sehorn, Hilliard, Hamilton, etc.— which is why it sucks they lost XXXV (the only super bowl I’ve ever been to, ugh). That said— Toomer and Strahan getting theirs in ‘07 made that one all that much sweeter. So happy to be able to say Toomer won a SB with us and not only that but he had a lot of key receptions/plays on route to that title in the playoffs. Look at all the big plays, tight rope catches, and great snags he made in traffic /tight coverage he made in that run (link below)
Every Amani Toomer catch 2007 playoffs - ( New Window )

Kerry Collins is my choice, dude really turned his life around as a NYG. Still not sure why he got cut for Kurt Warner.

he didn't get cut. he asked out because he wanted to be the starter and not the guy keeping the seat warm for Eli so the Giants accommodated him and gave him his release
