I saw Barkley in an interview the other day and after the question was asked why you are ready for the NFL he answered with something along the lines of "I want to be financially secure". And while I understand everyone wants to be rich, I'd like to see my future QB talk about his love for the game, and not about money.

I don't remember what segment, sorry. =( EDIT: Found it. http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=7301484 Just not a good interview by the kid imo,... he just seems really immature. Inner gut feeling has me thinking he will bust. Last edited by Molitoth; 12-02-2011 at 12:34 PM.. |

I saw Sam Mellinger say in the chat the other day when asked about which one he thinks the Chiefs would pick.
While he admitted he doesn't know, he guessed it would be Griffin. He thinks Matt Barkley is the type of QB you can find in the first round of the draft nearly every year where as RG3 brings something different. Something special. Granted that's his opinion but when I think about it? I think he's right. |

TBH, I'm really cooling off on RG3 if we are picking in the top 10.
I seriously question his ability to sustain a long and productive career as a quarterback in this league. His skill set and playing style is fairly similar to Randall Cunninghams and RC only started 135 games out of the 256 games played during his career. He also may well be a guy that has to have an offense tailor fit to his skill set to maximize his potential and then you have a situation where we need to pigeon hole ourselves into that system and would have to have a similar type quarterback s the backup that could continue to lead that offense if/when RG3 goes down. Dont get me wrong, he would give us one hell of an exciting player to watch and he would be able to put points on the board and butts in the seats, but one has to wonder if when all is said and done, if he would be worth all that would come with him. |

I try to weigh things and then judge by those factors what I would do in the teams situation. Like it or not, bringing up the money as the reason for going pro is a strike against him. Of course that's what he is thinking, but its not the answer he should give. JMO |

And I don't care what you think, Matt Barkley botched that interview in my book. His answers were not well thought out or spoken. He lack the maturity that a lot of players DO have. These high profile players are taught to say and do the right things if they want to represent the NFL. If you think he's going to come in and lead a Chiefs team to the playoffs, then good for you... but I don't. |

Next BossChief is going to tell us how he's cooled off on Andrew Luck too because he's been a little bumpy lately.

That's something that he will have no problems picking up, as smart as he is. The footwork, the understanding of the pocket, everything. He's already taking snaps under center. He's already used to understanding coverages. I think it will take some time, sure, but there's absolutely no reason why an NFL offense should have to go Tyler Thigpen/Tim Tebow for him. |

Barkley seems like your typical USC QB. A kid that was highly recruited throughout high school. A kid who has had the best training money can buy since high school. He's spent his summers throwing with Palmer and Leinart and other pros. He should be polished and be a head above other college QB's with all of the training he's received.
USC still has a ton of talent and plays a relatively easy schedule. I don't see anything from him that distinguishes him from Sanchez or Leinart as college players. I think Mellinger is right that there isn't anything really special about him. In a way he reminds me a bit of Clausen.
