This Matt Barkley Scouting. Enjoy. All of our other scouting reports
Measurables:
6’2 220 pounds
Stats
2010:
62.6 completion percentage. 7.40 yards per pass attempt, 26 tds and 12 INT.

PROS: Will come in and be a leader of an NFL locker room, great personality, strong arm, improved accuracy, good athlete, former top HS prospect, hard worker, three-year starter at one of the country’s most prestigious football universities, Pac 10 academic All Conference honorable mention, runs a pro-style offense at USC. Strong arm, plays in a pro style offense. Good feel in the pocket. Durable, has yet to miss a start. Plus at reading coverages, will continue to improve going through his progressions. Has excellent ball placement…has some wheels…good size…can throw the ball on the run

CONS: Slightly shorter than guys like Peyton Manning, Cam Newton, Andrew Luck, etc., but that shouldn’t affect him at all, case of Jay Cutler syndrome first two years adjusting to college game, numbers haven’t blown anyone away until 2011. Is he clutch? He hasn’t been able to win some big games in the fourth quarter, holds onto the ball a little long. Inconsistent accuracy

Player Comparison: Drew Brees, QB, New Orleans Saints

I’m still working out all of the player comparisons as I watch the players more, but his big arm ability to make all the throws, play mostly in from the pocket, but also a guy who can throw pretty well on the run. They are similar in their ability to get rid of the ball quickly when they recognize a pre-snap coverage. Barkley is a little taller than Brees and a better prospect coming out of College (Brees has become an excellent pro though), Brees is more accurate.

Thoughts? There are probably better comparisons out there.

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...
