Quarterback
No. 9
New Mexico State
"'I'm very big in Calgary,' he says. That's where he played for almost three seasons in the Canadian League. Pisarcik was a free agent who started as the Giants' No. 5 quarterback in summer camp a year, but by the fourth regular-season game had won the starting job.
Pisarcik would prefer showing off his arm more than his coaches allow. Born in Kingsport, Pa., he went to New Mexico State 'because they had a pro-style offense, and I wanted to be a pro.' He has none of the doubts about his talent that others may have.
He lives off-season in Fort Lauderdale. 'Do you know many bikinis and belly-buttons there are down there?' he asks."
-John Jeansonne, The Complete Handbook of Pro Football (1978 Edition)
"One of the NFL's most outstanding rookies of 1977, Joe was rewarded with selection as the quarterback on the all-rookie team last season. A three-year starter for the Calgary Stampeders of the Canadian Football League, he has a powerful arm. Joe worked with the Giants during the club's spring trip to Mexico City in 1977."
-1978 Topps No. 7
