I know a lot of people point to Barkley as being the ideal WCO QB but as I mentioned in another thread, I think the metrics say otherwise.

Barkley actually threw the most passes (in terms of percentage of attempts) less than 5 yards by quite a wide margin. And on top of that, his accuracy in the 1-5 range was WAY below average.
Barkley was way below average in the short and screen passing games. That's not WCO at all. |
Barkley threw more short passes, but still averaged more yards in the air than Geno. His short passes are apparently at the longer end of the spectrum (closer to 5 yards) than Smith.
