Dalton is a pretty fair comparison for Barkley, really. I don't think Dalton's going to be a great QB in this league - he's a vehicle for feeding AJ Green the football.
He's just right there in the morass of 'meh' quarterbacks. And if you're shooting for that, you should probably go Barkley. I think there's about an 80% chance that Barkley becomes an acceptable 'meh' NFL quarterback.
The bust potential for Smith appears higher...but he's also a guy with physical skills that could actually make him elite.
Barkley isn't - just like Dalton.

I see no reason why a guy like Barkley couldn't lead a team to a championship. The guy's arm is adequate we're not talking Chad Pennington here i've seen the guy fit the ball in tight windows numerous times and has good touch. The thing that's been concerning to me about Barkley is the number of interceptions and how he's thrown them his year.
After the OU game and having a whole year to sit down and watch most WVU, Ark, and USC games I want Geno Smith as my QB because of the upside but his bust potential is higher than Wilsons or Barkley. I would like Wilson the most because he has all the tools and even better mobility than Smith but the guy has serious leadership questions.
