I haven't gotten a chance to watch all of Barkley yet. I'll get there soon... But if you want to talk about captain checkdown, then Tyler Wilson is your guy. He rarely throws beyond 20 yards.
You'll see it maybe 5 times a game. The other 30 attempts or so will be checkdowns to the runningback, and hitting receivers on shallow crosses at the LOS.
The thing I DO like about Wilson is that he's used to making throws from strange angles and positions. His feet are almost never set correctly, and he moves around a lot like Jay Cutler. But if a guy can still be accurate while throwing off balance, and with defenders in your face, I have to admire that in a QB. Wilson takes a beating each and every game. That O-line is a disaster. But I really fail to see any kind of special factor with Wilson. I think he could be a below average starter. Or a decent back up in the NFL. Really not much more.
