1979 Profile: Joe Pisarcik

Quarterback
No. 9
New Mexico State
"Poor fellow. You see his picture and exclaim: 'That's the guy!' As if he were in a police lineup. That's the guy who, having nothing to do but sit on the ball to win a big game against Philadelphia, instead tried to hand off and fumbled directly into the losing touchdown. Be informed, however, that he didn't call the play; the long-gone offensive coordinator did.
He was born July 7, 1952, in Kingston, Pa., and played at New Mexico State. Pisarcik is happy-go-lucky and lives the Fort Lauderdale lifestyle in the off-season. He shows flashes of real competency, but they have just been flashes so far."

-John Jeansonne, The Complete Handbook of Pro Football (1979 Edition)

"A big and strong quarterback with a rifle arm, Joe had quite an induction in the NFL. His first touchdown pass in the league was an 80-yard connection against the Eagles in 1977.
Joe lists tennis among his hobbies."

-1979 Topps No. 311
