Least Favorite Player at Each Position During Snyder Era

any player on any NFL practice squad at any position. Seriously. Banks is a one trick pony thats not even good at his one trick. I would rather develop any player at any position that has multiple ways to contribute to the team than waste a roster spot on Banks.

The additional problem with banks is that, if you have him on the 53 as a returns specialist, you also have to have him on the gameday 46. So where as most teams have 46 "useful" players on their roster on gameday, we only have 45. if we used Banks rosterspot on someone who could also play DB/LB/DL/OL/TE/RB/WR, we'd have a player who could step in if one of our primary guys were injured. With Banks, youre not going to put him in on offense if Moss gets hurt. Instead, you'll play an extra TE. Banks is completely useless in every way possible.

Interesting. Well it wasn't his fault he was brought in. I'm sure in some respect it was awkward for him coming in with an already established guy here in Johnson.

It all started when Snyder fired Casserly. All downhill from there.

We had a top 5 defense in '05 without Lavar, too. His knee injury was a legitimate issue, but Lavar trashed the coaches first for holding him out, then trashed them for putting him back in too early. Add his wanting to freelance in William's gap defense, how could you work with that guy? The Giants spent big money on him, and got practically nothing from him. Except a copy of our playbook.

Fair enough. Cant put him on my list but fair enough.

I wouldn't put LaVar on my least fav list, wouldn't put him on my fav list either. Overall I think he was a little overrated. Fantastic talent, but I never got the impression he was all in as far as studying the game and really putting in the work off the field to be the best that he could be.

Agreed. I think a lot of the negativism towards LA is the type where people look and hate on him because he didn't seem to care enough to maximize his production relative to his talents. That always triggers a little more emotionalism from a certain set of people. Which I think is somewhat understandable.

1. Albert Haynesworth - probably everyone's #1.
1a. Adam Archuleta - gave this bum the biggest Safety contract at the time and allowed Ryan Clark to walk for relative peanuts.
2. Heath Shuler - Top 5 picks that bust are franchise killers.
3. Desmond Howard - See Heath Shuler
4. Jason Taylor - wish we had that 2nd round pick back
5. Donovan McNabb - ditto
6. Brandon Lloyd - blame the FO for tearing up the final year of his contract and handing him millions. Never scored a regular season TD in burgundy and gold.
7. T.J. Duckett - Question to the FO - WHY?
8. Danny Weurfel - Didn't give up anything to get him, but he was still Spurrier's boy wonder.
9. Speaking of Spurrier - If I could put a coach on my least favorites list, it would be him. He took Snyder's millions, yet his heart was never all in.
10. Dana Stubblefield
11. Meion

By my own criteria, how could I have forgotten Devin Thomas and Malcolm Kelly? Complete busts from the terrible 2008 draft that set this franchise back a few years. Yep, add them to my list.

I never would have guessed that. His rep was more about being "immature" and selfcentered. I wish I knew some of the stories you know.

You explained your criteria well enough. I think all we disagree on is subjective at this point.

I went through 6 pages of this thread to see if anyone mentioned the two headed FO that defines the Snyder era - Snyderatto!
Thank you Matty
