1973 Giants: The Most DYSFUNCTIONAL Team in NFL HISTORY

On October 10, 1973, New York Giants quarterback Randy Johnson retired due to a lack of playing time. Somehow, he was named the starting quarterback two weeks later. This is the crazy story behind the entire Randy Johnson saga, and the dysfunction surrounding the 1973 Giants

Note that three parts around the middle of the video had to be removed due to copyright reasons. One part, around the 3:40 mark, just said that Johnson quit the team, and that while he wasn't quitting football entirely, he was open to finding a new team. One part, around the 4:30 mark, talked about how some teams had success with two quarterbacks (Dolphins with Morrall and Griese, Cowboys with Norton and Staubach), so in a weird way, he wasn't entirely wrong. A two-second clip around the 5:00 mark talked about how the Giants threatened to withhold his pay if he stayed away, and how Snead understood Johnson's frustrations
