His leadership and intangibles are off the charts, I view him a lot as a Matt Ryan/Andy Dalton type.
Geno Smith I think could be great or could be out of the league quickly. I''m kind of hard pressed to think of an NFL comparison for him honestly.
With this team I'd probably go Barkley since I think he needs less coaching.

I agree with most of that and have been saying it for quite some time.
I see Geno as similar to McNabb and think that's his closest comparison.
I still favor Geno over Barkley at this point, but I guess that all depends on which coach is running the show come April on if that changes or not.
If we don't hire a staff that has the ability to develop Geno, Barkley will be a better choice because I think he could step right in and make an immediate impact.
