Apparently he was a bit of a douche, according to a friend who's at the combine.

Am I going to have to go get the Cassel clip of him throwing the ball 55 yards in the air again? Folks, neither of those throws demonstrate a strong arm.

I'd rather take Barkley than Joekel as well, but he does not have anything more than an average NFL arm. He's Matt Schaub at best.

What really bugs me about him is his slow hips and inability to move/escape the pocket. He's gonna get creamed in the NFL.
Both of these statements you made are ignorant. His arm strength issues are completely overblown, and Barkley is very smooth in the pocket.

Barkley's arm is OK, his footwork needs a ton of attention, but things like intelligence, moxie and leadership are very high.

You dont have to have a super stud arm. Could you compare him to Schaub in arm strength? Sure. You could also compare him to Eli, Rivers, Romo, Brady etc...

Cassel literally has/had the worst arm in the NFL

Actually, he WAS smooth in the pocket.

2012 was a rough year for him but much like Tyler Wilson, the TEAM was dysfunctional around him as well.

He also throws a 15-20 yard out route to the sideline and put the ball right over the defenders head.

No you can't.

Eli has a stronger arm, Romo has a stronger arm and Brady has a stronger arm.

Matt Barkley's arm isn't an asset. At best, it's not a liability.

Again, why is this impressive?

He puts a ball 50 yards in the air with a completely clean pocket and enough room to take a full stride and then some. Hell, the ball was thrown late and under-thrown at that.

Matt Cassel can make that throw. Matt Cassel has made that throw.

His arm isn't a strength.

:spock: Cmon dude. Im not saying hes Flacco or Rodgers but youre making a very subjective statement. His arm "strength" is probably better than Andrew Luck but that didnt stop people from drooling all over him. I get that you could say its not an 'asset' but to say that it might be a liability is just wrong.

What do you want to see? On his knees throwing 70? Jamarcus and Boller can do that.

He didn't say it was a liability. He said at best, it's not a liability.

Yeah "at best". Which is just a cop out for "just in case Im wrong about it"
