QBs fell in this draft. But you can't deny the huge change in perception between last year and this year. And yes, that absolutely affects player judgments and evaluations.
In any case, Matt Barkley would have had his ass on the bench for at least a season or two. He might not have worked out, but he's got a better shot at being the QB we need over Tyler freakin Bray. And when you get into the 3rd round and you have the shit that we do for QBs, that draft pick is worth it each and every time.
Yes, Barkley would have been high profile.

Matt Barkley, no matter how many ways people want to spin it, is affected by two things. One, unfair, or not, USC qbs are now judged differently. Second, hes no more physically imposing than Alex Smith, and apparently no less fragile as he has already had a shoulder injury in college. Matt Barkley is not a better qb prospect than Tyler Bray. Nothing about Tyler Brays physical football skills led to him being undrafted. His brain, and common sense were the reasons.

Hell...have the negative nancys every imagined that Alex might actually work out well in KC?
It's amazing how all three of the QBs were demeaned in the same thread...and yet, somehow, the GREAT MATT BARKLEY would have made it all better.

Its really not even worth your time to even bother. As soon as I saw the thread title, I knew exactly what was going to be said. No sense in even acknowledging it. No matter what happens in preseason isn't going to make a difference. Winning week one against Jax isn't going to make a difference. The only thing that will make a difference is if the Chiefs make the playoffs. And even then, the hard core dumbasses, will find every other excuse in the book, schedule, chiefs defense, chiefs special teams, chiefs running game, Bowe having 500 yards after catch, alex not taking risks, blah blah blah, the excuses will live on eternally. Why? Because some people are such miserable ****ing human beings and get stuck in the suck so hard that they cant find any silver lining in anything.....its just the way shitty people are.

That doesn't make any sense. Alex Smith was a fumble away from making the Super Bowl two years ago. He should have started over Kaepernick this year as well. I can't wait until teams figure out Kaepernick and the 49ers collapse from Harbaugh's dumb decision. Smith was a number 1 pick! He had AWFUL coaching and AWFUL teams until Harbaugh came into town. The guy has tremendous talent and will thrive under Reid's coaching.
Let me see here. Trust the CP internet coaches on here or Andy Reid? Hmm....tough one! I think I'll trust Andy Reid over you guys on here any day.

See my comment above. Let the malcontents be malcontented. Gonna make for a shitty long season for them.

Who would who be? I was referring to Kaepernick in the post you quoted. Kaepernick was the more dynamic QB that ultimately replaced Smith.

Yes, Jim Harbaughs hand picked qb replaced his hand picked place holder. Stunning. Never seen that before in the NFL. Like when Brady Replaced Bledsoe, or when Rodgers, replaced Favre, or when Luck Replaced Manning. never seen it, except, the rule maintains. When your back up qb, is your new leaderships hand picked successor, your starter is on a short leash. Its the golden rule......

Bullshit. Convenient excuse by the ABAers to find anyway possible to pin the loss on one player. He played a part in the loss, no doubt, but his 3rd down conversions were lower on the list than turnovers, and missed opportunities that the 49ers defense didn't capitalize on......teams that lose the turn over battle, lose 70 % of the time.......

Last season, he was getting the job done, and would not have been benched but for the concussion. Once CK came in, it was obvious that he was ready to do what he was drafted to do, and is destined to be elite. Far superior to Alex.
Still, with a decent team around him, he can get the job done. Having a phenominal TE like Vernon Davis is pretty much the key.
If you need a QB that will carry the offense, however, not gonna happen.
P.S., you need a good game on the ground as well.

Pretty accurate post. You might want to let the guy start a full season before you crown him. Just remember Cam Newton, and now he (keep) lost his security blanket..........
