You do realize that Philcox was in the NFL for 9 years and he wasn't an NFL back up because of his athleticism, tough to put him behind the rest. I would put Shrader towards the bottom of all of them with regard to passing the football, the surgery between his junior and senior year didn't help either.Donnie Mac, Graves, McNabb - all better; those are the top tier guys. McCord isn't the running threat that they were, but he was by far the best passer we've ever seen, and belongs among them at the top.
Philcox has one good year, with a terrific team around him. I put him below the rest.
Paulus put up good numbers in his one season, mostly running for his life. But he barely threw the ball downfield, and didn't have the strength he would have had if he had played football from the start.
Nunes was worse than Tommy DeVito in the pocket, and he couldn't take a hit. He played scared. I'll never forget that dead duck interception he threw against Michigan while running 20 yards behind the line of scrimmage, or that terrible game he had vs. Georgia Tech at the Meadowlands, so no, Nunes sucks. Worst of the bunch, to me. And RJ was also pretty bad.
I would put Shrader on the 2nd tier with Dungey and Nassib (who threw very hard passes prior to this senior year, when he finally gained some touch).
Devito as well isn't in the NFL for no reason either
