Boss you keep talking about this weather thing like the kid has never played in Oregon, Washington, or Colorado. Can you give us examples of Qb's who's careers were ruined by weather?

i remember when John Elway was down graded for playing in california....he had never thrown a ball in -45 degrees...Mel Kiper made a big stink about it on draft day Kiper: "If you draft Elway, you better draft a pair of mittens too...." |

All Im saying is that the weather takes something off passes thrown in cold weather and he already throws just an OK deep ball. You guys are making a mountain out of a mohill. |

Name the last real snow game in KC (not flurries... a legit SNOW game). Barkley has experience playing in cold weather games... it was 30 degrees with a wind chill when Barkley dismantled Oregon's defense in Oregon a few weeks back. This "Barkley can't play in cold weather" crap is complete bullshit. Also it's not as if RGIII has a long history of playing in snowy conditions. He played high school and college football in Texas. |
I love it when the Planet rallies behind a QB and defends the player as if they have no faults - it's so Sanchez and Clausen.

Quote:
Yeah, one thing Elway lacked was arm strength to overcome that factor. Same goes for Aaron Rogers. Or Brett Favre. Or Matt Stafford. Funny that those are the only examples people have brought up in this topic...all of them had full blown howlitzers. Look, I dont know how many times I have to say this...Im not saying it could totally ruin his chances at being successful in the midwest, Im just saying that its one of the factors that will likely be looked into if he is to be drafted in the top 5 by a team in the states where weather is a big factor. |
Quote:
i love reading idiots talking about how playing in California means a QB can't handle cold weather.... it ranks right up there with not liking a QB because of his haircut...you know, wind resistance or something... |

just ****ing stop....please |
This thread has taken a turn for the bizarre, and I disagree with Boss's analysis, but I'll give him credit for at least offering to critique a player.
For all the bitching about "drafturbators" there are far, far more chickenshit mother****ers who do nothing but go with the prevailing wind and bash whoever it is convenient to bash, whether it's a poster, the GM, the QB, et. al. Fritz88's worthless ass comes to mind. |
Quote:
"Half of the home games in KC would be in snowy conditions"? Name the last legit snow game in KC. Also the same cold weather concerns could be applied to RGIII who has played both his high school and collegiate football in the state of Texas. Last I checked Texas wasn't Alaska. |

Go **** yourself and your inability to talk about any of the faults (or even possible faults) of players you have fallen in love with. If Im so wrong, surely you can back your side of this with something...anything other than personal insults....or maybe you CANT. Like I said, you guys are making a mountain out of a mohill. |
I get bashed all the time i'll gladly fall on the sword for Barkley. That's my QB http://static.bbmp3.com/smilies/sadto.gif
|
He either has the arm strength or he doesn't. He's either a pussy or he isn't.
If he's so much of a ****ing chickenshit that he can't play in cold weather, there would be numerous other pieces of evidence of his deadly disease of pussitis; it wouldn't be isolated. |

YOUR words: Quote:
You obviously give credit rather easily. Do you give credit to Palko for trying to be a QB? |
Quote:
stop it don't ever say it again....EVER...it is that ****ing stupid as for Barkley's weaknesses, anyone can google and find scouting reports that list his stengths and weaknesses....and guess what, none of them mention his inability to throw a football in -50 degree weather... |
I don't like Kellen Moore because of all the traveling Boise State has to do. That's a lot of flying. What if one of the planes broke in two in mid-air?
|
Quote:
An example: you are stupid as ****. I'll give credit to Palko for trying to be a QB, just like I won't give credit to you for being a flip-flopping mother****er who was sucking Pioli's teats dry before he came here only to instantly turn on him, because you don't have the gumption to admit it. |
Quote:
Can you even read? Seriously. Hamas just sadi that he disagreed with me and you come back and say he is having a wet dream about my critique of Barkley? You are a walking, talking advertisement for anal sex and condoms. |

this guy is pretty bad though...he mentions arm strength but not the much more concerning inability to drink hot chocolate |
http://www.nfldraftblogger.com/2011/...outing-report/
this article links to 5 scouting reports of Barkley all mention arm strength as an issue guess what....none of them mention his fear of cold weather that has apparently forced him to play only in California.... |

his agent has done a damn good job of intimidating scouts....none of them mention that he can't play football unless the stadium lights are replaced with space heaters... |
I don't think there is any correlation, in and of itself, between a player who plays in a warm weather college and playing in adverse weather in the NFL.
I do think that Barkley (a) has only a slightly above average arm, and (b) doesn't throw a real pretty ball. By that I mean you often see some wobble, especially on longer throws. I think that those two things might lead him to problems playing in colder and windy weather. And, whether people want to admit it or not, USC has always gotten top recruits who had top notch coaching for years. They don't seem to progress as much in the NFL from their college days. Even though he has a young team around him, they are very talented and USC plays a relatively easy schedule. All are concerns. All that being said, is he a 1st round QB - yes. Top 20, yes. Top 10, I'm not positive. Should KC pass him for RGIII, yes. Pass him for a tackle or LB, no. |
Quote:
at this point, i am embarrassed by the state of QB scouting...i can only hope Pioli's Weather Based Player Analysis saves us from making a franchise destroying error... in New England, they would bring in snow machines for pre-draft workouts... |
Talking Can is ripping this thread up. LMAO

i googled 'matt barkley snow' and found this:
Quote:
LMAO what a ****ing maroon...he doesn't know that snow is Barkley's kryptonite....HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA |
i rest my case...he won't even vacation in cold weather

where is the farthest, hottest place away from winter? ****ing Nigeria folks.... |
The NFL Combine has QBs throw inside a meat locker.
|
Kansas City should be scouting QBs in Canada.
|
His worst collegiate game came after he consumed an Icee, according to one anonymous NFL scout.
|
when asked why he passed over Rodgers in the 2005 draft, Peterson said, "Snow, you stupid son of a bitch..."
|
Quote:
ok that was funny Can I change my goalposts to "cold AND windy"? |
Word has it that earlier in the season Matt Kalil was listening to Miles Davis' Art of the Cool before a game, and Barkley made Kalil turn it off because it made him nervous.
The game? A loss to Arizona State |
Talking Can is on some other shit.

If Boss Chief were Frankie, we would be having another conversation about 159 IQs right now

Wrap it up, folks. |
Quote:
You fail... DUMBSHIT. |
I never said that he would fail because of it, you dimwit.
I have said at least 5 times that I would draft him #2 overall if we had the opportunity. I never said he "cant play in the snow" either, idiot. I said he hasn't...that's it. "half his games would be in snowy conditions" I thought most would be able to pickup what I meant by that...I guess I overestimated some of the guys here. Snowy conditions = winter football. Frozen ball windy stuff Barkley hasnt had to deal with (very much, if at all) while playing on the west coast. |
Quote:
You tell me how tries to play QB equals "is a good QB". Present your case to the jury. Persuade them and I'll kick off. Fail and leave. Fair enough? |

Could you guys imagine Dick Vermiel coming back in as the coach with this defense and tools already in place on offense?
I think we would be deep in the playoffs next year...even with Orton. |

Nice back track. Now "snowy conditions" really means "winter and windy football games". So would you define the game in Oregon earlier this month, where kickoff temp was 40 degrees, with wind chills in the 30's as "winter weather"? Barkley was 26-34 with 4 TDs and 300+ yards passing leading USC to the win. How about USC's game at Colorado on November 4th? Game time temp was 41 degrees. Barkley was "chilled" to the tune of 6 TD passes. All of this info. is at USCTrojans.com for your viewing pleasure. You should really do some research and have FACTS to back up your bullshit claims. Of course you have no facts. You have no game. You are a dumbshit fraud. Game OVER. |
Quote:
Your "giving credit to Palko for trying to be a QB" is a laughable joke, whether you meant that he is a good QB or not, is not the point. Giving credit to an NFL QB for trying? Is this like the second grade where you get an "A for effort"? Also if Palko actually is "trying" with 0 TD passes and 8 turnovers in his two starts (both losses) then perhaps that effort isn't anything to get credit for. Another epic fail on your part. LMAO |
Those are nice days in KC during half the year.
Call me when its 0 and windy and you are playing against Ed Reed. Im gonna say it AGAIN since you havent seemed to have been able to read it the last few time I posted it. I DIDN'T SAY HE COULDN'T DO IT, JUST THAT HE DOESN'T HAVE THE EXPERIENCE IN THE SITUATIONS HE WOULD BE FACING HALF THE YEAR IN KC. ESPECIALLY IN THE PLAYOFFS. I have also said probably 10 times now that I would take him with the #2 overall pick if we have it. |
Quote:
And since when did you become so protective of Pioli and Cassel? I do enjoy your anger bursts, so please have one. It might be the reason I enjoy getting on your sensitive nerves. Posted via Mobile Device |
40 degrees in Oregon is winter conditions. :facepalm:
JFC I want Barkley bad, but let's not full reerun with statements like that. |

I'd hate for the Chiefs to draft him. |

I agree, let's not draft a potential franchise QB because it gets cold in KC in the winter.

The stpupid thing to me here is that as Sanchez was being discussed, al the true fans used weather as one of the reasons they didn't like him.
I don't think, nor have I ever thought, that weather is a factor, but Boss Chief is getting shit for mentioning weather as a concern, even while saying he'd take him at #2. |
Quote:
I don't give a **** if the kid played in Ecuador. If he can make the throws and has the slightest chance of being a franchise QB, draft that ****er. |
And to ChiefsFan88, he's the biggest douchebag dumbass on this forum.
He has no ability to comprehend what he reads. He actually thinks that I liked Herman ****ing Edwards, and that should tell you everything you need to know about his intelligence and reading comprehension. |
Quote:
Yeah. Not impressed... |
Quote:
But I always say, stats mean jack. |
Quote:
If experience or ability to play in cold weather were a factor in drafting a QB then that would automatically disqualify half of the QB's in the country. Bottom line is if you have legit criticism/concern for Barkley as a potential NFL QB... fine... you are entitled to your opinion. But don't bring bullshit claims that "his inexperience in cold weather" is a red flag for drafting him high in the first round. |
Quote:
Why were you against criticism of Haley's inane strategy this preseason that anyone with half a football IQ could see was doomed for failure? Why were you against criticism of Herm Edwards as Chiefs head coaach when he was initially hired? You are a typical "this is how it is now, I'll accept it" homer. Continuing to go back and forth with you is pointless because you are a brain dead homer with an understanding of football that is comparable to Cassel's ability to play QB. Time to pick up your game... DUMBSHIT. |
Lol Milkman is a go with the flow homer? You're a ****ing dumbass just delete now.

Haley's strategy this preseason was a classic example of a doomed strategy. Yet the poster above failed to see it or refused to believe it. Blind faith, blind following of your team. That is homerism 101. |
Quote:

I, like milkman, The Talking Can, and most on this board, think that a lot of Chiefs fans will find any reason not to draft a potential franchise QB. Is it afraid of failure? Success maybe? Just draft one. Just one and see what happens. Do you think Andy Dalton made the Bengals cream their pants? No. Hell no. But they went for it because they needed a QB. Just try and you just might succeed. But you'll never know until you try.

There isn't a single person here that wouldn't draft Barkley because of those reasons. JFC Its like an idiot parade around here sometimes. I swear, someone could come on here and point out that Barkleys pinky finger is an inch shorter on his right hand than his left and there would be a bunch of little girls around to hug and caress Barkley while whispering "its not true Matt" in his ear. FFS If someone points out something as miniscule as lacking game experience in certain conditions as a area that could use some further looking into...but would STILL take him....even if the pick required would be #2 overall...that means he would take him. Not pass on him. Its not that hard, guys. |
Quote:
Let me spell it out for you, although I apologize for the lack of crayons and pop out images: There is a difference between people who are willing to state and support an opinion, and those who do nothing but wait in the shadows to snipe, offering up nothing in return. Most people on this board just agree with whatever the popular opinion is at that time. Chiefs lose, everyone is great, Chiefs win, everyone is horrible. You are one of those ass mongrels, more than happy to snipe from the shadows, but never willing to offer an opinion of your own on anything that isn't just reciting popular opinion. You might as well be a bot. |

I hated the man from the moment his name was even mentioned as a candidate. You continue to make this bullshit up. Yes, I agreed with Haley's approach to the preseason, because it seemed a good way to avoid some of the early injuries that other teams might experience, and in fact, as conditioning is concerned, this team did avoid the hamstrings and muscle injuries that other teams faced early in the season. Torn ACLs are not conditioning related. |
