Shrader and Excitement...

[Dick_in_MI]

Garrett has had two good games this year and Don McPherson should have won the Heisman. Perhaps it is the passage of years but I don’t know know how it can be forgotten how exciting a player my man Don was.

 

[OburgOrange]

And Perry Patterson.

That you Grandma?

Cam Dantley

Beat ND at ND

I’d put Nassib ahead of Dungey

NFW. I'm a big Nassib fan, but Dungey did more with less. He literally willed the team to victory on several occasions.

 

[RMH44]

Dungey was more reckless in all aspects. Shrader I think plays smarter and I hope will stay healthy.

Exactly! ED would rather run a LB over rather than step out of bounds. Garrett is far more calculating.

 

[money3189]

Dungey was NOT a good passer. His best pass was a deep long ball to the sideline.
When he finished his last season at SU, he spent weeks working on mechanics/footwork in prep for combines and the draft. If I recall, his first stop in the NFL, the team had him working with TEs.

You don’t have to convince me that Dungey wasnt the greatest passer. He wasn’t but It doesn’t mean Shrader is already better at throwing than him. GS still has to do it. He has to do it consistently and against formidable teams in a meaningful game. The NFL has nothing to do with how the both of them threw the ball at SU.

 

[All4SU]

GS will attain ED like status when he (must have a minimum of 3 for consideration):

1. Trucks a would be tackler on the way into the end zone.
2. Throws a pick and then steals it back from the interceptor.
3. Throws a pick and then hunts down and tackles the interceptor 2 yards out of bounds.
4. High karate kicks a defender attempting to tackle him in the open field.

Leading the team to 10 wins will also help.

#2 Was the single greatest effort play I’ve ever seen by an SU football player.

 

[All4SU]

All time Syracuse QB's?

McNabb
McPherson
Graves
Dungey

Is this the list?

Bill Hurley. But that was just prior to the “Dome Era.”

 

[djorange1989]

Even when he did slide he still got taken out. Thanks CMU.

still one of the dirtiest hits I have ever seen. and who was it, either Mink or Bailey, who wrote that arse kissing article about the cheap shot artist from CMU who did it a couple of years later when they came back to the Dome?

 

[Acesn8s]

I look at it like this which past QBs would I feel more confident in getting a win this Saturday with all else being equal. I go
Mcnabb
Graves
McPherson
Dungey
Nassib then
GS.

 

[cuse309]

What about Ashton Broyld? I was assured he was a young Jim Brown.

 

[All4SU]

Dungey remains my favorite SU QB since McPherson, and my favorite player of the last 20 years. Shrader may usurp that position. But that will take a little time and results. The thing about Dungey is he just willed the team to win on several occasions…and nearly many others.

Dungey was a player for his time. A no holding back player when SU really needed something. He was that something. If SU has followed up 2018 with a few winning seasons, he would have been immortalized as the player who turned the corner. Shrader now has a chance to be that guy.

 

[David321]

I’m a newer fan so it’s really not my place to speak on where GS fits in school history, as I honestly don’t know obviously. But I do feel like both him and Sean (obviously) are very special and there is a bit of pressure for this team to get in as high of a bowl as possible as it’s their last year together most likely.

As a fan, I just want any bowl and six wins with this SOS is a success. But at the same time, I really want them to do something special for their legacy. Does that make sense?

 

[orange44]

Yes!!

 

[CNY in Miami]

All time Syracuse QB's?

McNabb
McPherson
Graves
Dungey

Is this the list?

Bill Hurley played on some bad teams-was an exciting player

 

[texascpa]

Until Shrader Ninja kicks another player, no one is exciting as Dungey

This would be be way before my time, then

 

[MikeSU02]

Dungey wasn’t perfect, but man was he exciting and the 10 win year was so fun.

He was ready to throw down all the time. He jawed with the WHOLE Miami sideline.

There are guys that talk and there are guys that talk and are ready to go at a moments notice. Dungey was the latter.

Shrader is great. But he’s more Iceman to Dungey’s Maverick in terms of these physical and imposing QBs.

With that said, I’m all in on Shrader.

Btw, neither of these guys touch McNabb, Graves and MacPherson. Those guys made my formative years.

But let’s enjoy the ride this year.

If GS continues at slightly under his current pace, I'm sure your mind will be changed. He simply just gets "it" and has the intangibles that could make him special.

 

[kcsu]

Nunes?

no. Nunes was good but wasnt the leader that Shrader is

 

[OrangePA]

I am hard pressed to name another Cuse player other than McNabb who has a more exciting style as compared to Garrett.

I am not saying he is second best, just really high on the excitement list.

I love Shrader.

But, nobody tops Eric Dungey.

Absolutely.

I have never seen a Syracuse University Football player who competed at the level that Eric Dungey competed.

A true SU Football Legend.

We're only 2 games deep...let it play out. Hopefully GS reaches "legend" status.

 

[OrangePA]

I’d put Nassib ahead of Dungey

Not me.

Dungey is ahead of Nassib - and it really isn't close.

Eric did extraordinary things - he made plays that I have never seen any other player make.

Nassib had an extraordinary senior season. It was a great - great - season.

But, for me at least, he will not be remembered in the same way Eric Dungey will be remembered.
