Roberto Alvarez-Galloso over at Bleacher Report recently posted an article about the Worst Free Agent signings in NFL history. He mentions Mike Vanderjagt for the Dallas Cowboys as the worst case scenario. I disagree…. and the simple fact is this:
-
C.C. Brown took all of the blame for one of the worst series of free agency signings I’ve ever seen by any team. The Giants of course got off to a blazing 5-0 start and then failed to make the playoffs. Had that ever happened before? No…. and the horrible play of C.C. “Can’t Cover” Brown directly and supremely contributed to the infamous Giants defensive collapse of 2009.

In my book – THAT is the worst free agency move of all-time. Want further proof? The below clip is the only “highlight” I could find on C.C. Brown on the entire internet:

P.S. — not to completely bury the man because I don’t feel great about doing that sort of thing, Brown does have his good points. He CAN hit like an effing freight train and is fantastic in stopping the run. But his pass coverage was down right atrocious.
good thing we didnt cut him……….
a travesty as it were.
I was screaming at brown to but sheridan doomed it from the beg. Its his job to kno cc isn’t a free safety and shouldn’t be droping back in cover 2. We should have had him in the box blitzing more
thats why they brought him it, to rush and stop the run. the guy can flat out hit — but they decided to shoot themselves in the foot instead. michael johnson was even worse — but Brown for whatever reason takes the blame here.
Maybe if Brown bulks up this off-season they can play him at nose tackle.
or OLB
C.C. Brown? Please.., I’m as bitter as the next for what happened last year, but Brown was brought in as depth, as the 3rd safety… he was never supposed to be starting.
