My rank: Donnie McPherson, McNabb, Nassib
 
Just curious but why are people putting Nassib behind Graves?
 
 
McPherson       53.4%       5,812 yards      46 TDs     25 INTs.     1,251 yards rushing 4 year starter
McNabb            58.1 %      8,581 yards        78 TDs    27 INTs.     1,633 yards rushing 4 year starter
Nassib               60.3%       9,190 yards       70 TDs    28 INTs     168 yards rushing 4 year starter
Graves                59.7%     8,466 yards         48 TDs    45 INTs.     289 yards rushing     4 year starter
 
McPherson was 2nd in Heisman Voting in 1987, won the Davey O'Brien and Maxwell awards, 22 player of the year awards, obviously the undefeated team
 
McNabb was 5th in Heisman voting in 1998, all 4 years All-Big East first team QB, 3 time Big East offensive player of the year
 
Nassib has better numbers than McPherson, but obviously the numbers aren't comparable -- different eras, offenses, etc.  The accolades nationally tell you that.  McNabb's numbers are a touch better than Nassibs overall despite Nassib throwing for more yards and higher completion %, those rushing yards set McNabb apart.
 
But Graves?  He had 3 more TDs than INTs for his career, threw for less yards and a lower completion %.  No national accolades although he did make the SU All-Century team and he did win 3 bowl games.
