Well, he's quite a bit shorter and not as physically sturdy. That doesn't mean that he won't have a nice career but it should be somewhat of a concern, however mild.

Guys like Eli, Ryan, Rivers, etc. all have pretty great talent around them. Seems its not just the QB, but alot of it is just situation. All things have to be right. The QB obviously has to be talented, but it has to be the right system for him, he has to have the right coaching (which we seem to have). It's just a multitude of things. |

I watched Barkley quite a bit this year, I tend to think his arm strength questions are a little overblown. He doesn't have a launcher by any means and he obviously now has health questions, but it's not bad.

I've never understood why the players allow themselves to be misrepresented physically, especially knowing that everyone will eventually find out. |

However, I've read that Reid runs his own version, which includes more down-field passing, so I'm not sure if he's a perfect fit. |

I'm sure people will say, "oh, Russell Wilson is short too, it's not big deal"
Well, Barkley's a much different type player than Wilson. |

Yeah, thats actually a reason I'm big on the Geno bandwagon. I think he fits the offense pretty perfectly, with what Reid wants to do.

Wilson has a better arm.

WV's defense really ****ed Geno over. If they had won a few more games (because 47ppg isn't enough) there wouldn't be much debate over who was top prospect.
Something similar could probably be said about Wilson. |

But if the team rated him #1, I'd have a hard time arguing against them. I'll believe they're smarter than I am until they prove otherwise. |

I think if you flipped Geno's 2011 season, with his 2012 season, things would be alot different.

for some, it's 'easy': Brady, Manning, Rothleswhatever, Rodgers, presumably Luck for some it requires more work: Eli, Brees for some it requires a lot, but they can get there: Flacco, Ryan (broke the seal) then there is Bradford, Stafford...major ?'s but still with the realm of imagination but I'd draft ANY of them (in retrospect, obviously)...i'm not concerned with how much work it will take, only that is possible (and not in a Dilfer way) if you sit around waiting for Luck, you'll be sitting around forever (Chiefs!)...that attitude drives me crazy...you can't win (or even get lucky) if you don't try and so I would without hesitation draft wilson/smith/barkley...

No and it's somewhat ironic that Nassib is getting built up after having his bowl performance.
I'm just not big on Nassib, btw. They opened the offense up for him early in the year, they lost alot, decided to run the ball alot and take it out of his hands and started winning. Basically, making him a game manager. It seems like when new Gm's and HC's happen, they obviously want to build the team their way. I like that Reid isnt' going full Pioli and forcing things his way, but I do think you have to start by building around the QB. The whole build then try and get a Qb, doesn't work. |
