Morrall Faces Tough Start as Giants New Quarterback
New York Giants new No 1 quarterback Earl Morrall, 31, must prove he can be a genuine standout like Conerly or Tittle. Critics note inconsistency from his Detroit years and uncertainty over whether he will be forced to pass more with the Giants. He arrived via a three way deal that sent Erich Barnes and Darrell Dess to Cleveland, while Pittsburgh and San Francisco previously traded draft rights for him. Morrall joins Gary Wood and Bob Timberlake in a crowded QB corps as he starts his 10th NFL season.
