Barkley doesn't have a great showing in big games. This years Stanford game being the exception.

I want to see him play big in more big games.

Barkley looks eerily similar to Cassel to me.

I think Brandon Weeden is the best QB after Luck.

But, at his age, yikes. You can't use a 1st round pick on him.

And I don't see us beating NE, PITT, CHI, NYJ, or GB. Yes, some of those teams don't look as scary as they did last year but they still are playoff caliber teams.

MIA @ KC.....they don't have3 an answer to a lot of our weapons and it should be an easy win.

DEN @ KC...we usually win home games in this series and Tebow is playing

KC @ NE...we probably have a better defense, but I don't think we have enough to slow down Brady. This is a HUGE game for Cassel because we should be right in the thick of things (in terms of division lead) and I'm sure Cassel will be trying to have his best game as a pro.

PITT @ KC...I don't think we win this game, but I didn't think we would win our meeting in 09, either.

KC @ CHI...Our pass rush should be able to pressure Cutler and I think we match up well with them in a lot more categories.

KC @ NYJ...This is gonna be a damn good game with lots of CP traffic.

GB @ KC...Minnesota played them close...?

OAK @ KC....28-0 and at home

KC @ DEN....could have playoff implications and we should be on the top of our game.

...

If we only win 2 of those games...lots of people need replaced.

I think we win 6 of those games (the highlighted ones) and go 9-7.

So, I was just watching some more of Matt Barkley... has anyone else noticed that anytime he puts power behind his throws (either to go deep or to put zip on the ball) he substantially contorts his throwing motion. Most of the time it is accurate, but from a footwork perspective, its more like a wind-up and a pitch than a football throw. It also takes a fair bit longer for him to work through that wind-up and release. Just something that has really stood out to me in rewatching the Cal and Washington snap-by-snaps.

I watched the Cal and Oregon clips recently and came to the conclusion he has a poor intermediate and deep pass. He can sometimes float them in on intermediate passes, but for the most part he's inaccurate on deep balls. From those two games he does not look like a top 10 pick.
