Nassib's NYG career likely over

[44PRIDE]

Without having played a single a meaningful snap, some can argue that Ryan's 3 year Giants tenure has been one of the greatest NFL careers of any Syracuse player...ever.

Even if he never plays a snap in a meaningful game, I tip my hat to Ryan's accomplishments and savvy.

Greatest careers of any Syracuse player ever?!?!

90% completion percentage!! In all seriousness, I hope he is able to latch on somewhere else next season and stick around in the league for a long time as a backup. It's great money and you get out healthy.

He parlayed one stellar Senior season at Syracuse into a 3 year NFL paycheck as a back-up quarterback, escaping any serious injury. On top of that, he completed his bachelors degree, his MBA and married his longtime girlfriend.

If you compare where Ryan is after 3 years in the NFL to other former SU players, the young man has done quite well for himself. And his career isn't over. He still has a chance to catch on with another team.

That's all true--he made it to the bigs, and should be commended for that. He's one of the >1% who get to the NFL and gets paid to play a game. In that regard, he "made it."

But all that said, in what universe does that constitute "...the greatest NFL careers of any Syracuse player...ever," per your OP? He's probably not even in the top 25. C'mon.

 

[44PRIDE]

OK.....maaaaaaaaybe I exaggerated just a little bit.

 

[LeMoyneCuse]

Not to nit-pick, but he's been there 4 years.

He's years behind Todd Philcox.

Nassib’s Giants career likely over with trip to IR

So, first ballot NFL HOF'er then, right?




... with apologies to:
Jim Brown , Larry Csonka , Al Davis* , Marvin Harrison , Floyd Little , John Mackey , Art Monk , Jim Ringo...
and probably Dwight Freeney (TBD)

Joe Morris

It's arguble

OK...maaaaaaaaybe I exaggerated just a little bit.

It's arguable he has not even had the greatest career among former Syracuse players currently on the NYG roster.

 

[OrangePA]

He's years behind Todd Philcox.

Good call.

He parlayed one college season into a solid pro career.

 

[bevosu]

Marrone should be forever thankful that Nassib had that senior year. No NFL head coaching offer without it.

 

[Melancer46]

I miss the days when Nassib's name was being floated around as the #1 pick in the draft. Fun times.

Projecting future Hall of Famers for all 32 NFL teams

 

[OburgOrange]

On to the Jags to reunite with Marrone and Hackett?

 

[Newhouser]

so has he been in long enough to be vested in the NFL retirement? Didn't Mike Hart just miss out on length of service?

 

[Finwad32]

He might never make another 53-man roster, but, his opportunity is far from up. Multiple teams will kick the tires on him if he leaves NY and is healthy.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

He's had a longer career as an NFL player than Marrone has had as an NFL HC.







hehe

IMO, backup quarterback for an NFL team is the greatest job in the world. Congrats, Ryan! Besides having a great career at Syracuse, you've set yourself up for life. And probably not done yet (NFL-wise).

todd philcox my favorite over achiever. all he did at su was get it done

10-2 in his only year as a starter, including a win over LSU in the HOF bowl. Loved him.

Undrafted, he had a 9 year NFL career playing for 6 different teams.

 

[Crusty]

It is just not profitable betting against Ryan Nassib.
He's not done yet!

 

[ArchDuke]

I believe so. Last I knew it was 3 years in the league on a roster and you are vested. Don't know off hand how long Hart was in the league. Others probably know better on that.

The board hissy fit when St. Doug "betrayed" Ryan on draft night was all time.
