I can agree with this and I did forget that Smith had several OC's. That did hurt his performance as young starting QB. |

Fair enough on Barkley vs. Alex Smith. I also hadn't thought that Smith was an Urban Meyer guy and went through so much change.
Both guys strike me as high character. Barkley for sticking with his team through the sanctions, and Smith for his willingness to be accountable. I would expect that with good coaching and a good surrounding cast, both could thrive in the NFL. |

To me, one should take either of those guys as your 1st if you could give them 2 or more years to sit without being worried of starting, like Rodgers.

Fans/Critics have been giving Barkley the Peyton Manning treatment (not comparing Barkley to Manning). Barkley, like Manning, has been so steady and successful in college for so long that they almost become boring. People start to get bored with them, create undeserved competition (Geno for Barkley/Leaf for Manning). The same started to happen a bit with Luck last year where people started questioning how good he was his senior year, and how RG3 had a higher ceiling (which could eventually be true).
Point being, other than 2 inches, Barkley has shown everything you look for in a franchise QB. He has had big games, put up great stats, has been successful since walking on the field, has good accuracy, leadership ability, durability, and mental toughness. He's the pick if he is there IMO.

My biggest gripe of Barkley in the past was that his arm was weak. I honestly thought it was Chad Pennington esk . But after watching last night, I saw a lot of throws that require a good arm.
Great arm? No. Good enough? Absolutely. I don't think I'd be being honest if I were to say that he hasn't looked great while of recent Geno hasn't been stellar. |
