Is Curtis Painter is one of the best quarterbacks in Boilermakers history?

Rivals.com seems to have their doubts: "Painter... statistically will rank among the greatest Purdue quarterbacks when he leaves. He may even leave with the most passing yards in Big Ten history. That's great and all, but know this: Painter has failed to deliver key plays in crunch time. And his resume is devoid of any big wins. So, yes, Painter is a veteran, strong-armed quarterback with an NFL build (6 feet 4/230 pounds) and good stats. However, he won't enter Purdue's pantheon of great quarterbacks (Dawson, Griese, Phipps, Herrmann, Everett, Brees) until he delivers wins over marquee foes." So, are they right? And if so, can he deliver those key victories in 2008?
