The missing link, anyway.

We are just discussing the merits on how each of us would react to him not throwing...if that turns out to be the case.

Again, guys, I'm not trying to sling shit at Geno. I'm a big fan. I'm just having a discussion. We haven't had one of those around in a while where there wasn't yelling and gnashing off teeth and mothers being ****ed.

This is from a little earlier in the year, but still good stuff...

Comparing RG3 and Geno
http://www.optimumscouting.com/draft...t-griffin.html

In differentiating these two prospects, it’s clear that Geno Smith is following Robert Griffin III’s footsteps in becoming the next hot prospect and potential top 5 overall draft choice. Their production, physical build, arm talent, accuracy, and explosive supporting casts are remarkably similar, but the intriguing aspect of this comparison, is how much further developed Geno Smith appears to be. Not the Olympic hurdler that Griffin was, or possessing the same 4.4 speed, Geno Smith has become the player he is today, through polished throwing mechanics, precise footwork, and feel for the game.

So in a sense, the choice of which quarterback is better than the other ultimately comes down to what you value more –high floor or high ceiling. Robert Griffin III’s combination of deep passing ability and elite athletic attributes paint a stark contrast to Geno Smith’s calculated approach and highly accurate arm. To me, Geno Smith is every bit, worthy of the top 5 pick that RG3 warranted, especially for teams in need of a franchise quarterback.

It's so nice to not have Blackbob shitting on discussions like this one, anymore.

Barkley doesn't have a noodle arm, but he's a guy that I think has pretty much hit his ceiling in terms of physical abilities. He can't tweek his footwork etc as much.

This.

Noodle arm? No.

But Geno has a slight edge in arm strength right now and if Geno can work on his mechanics, that gap will get wider and wider.

agreed geno's arm is a slight edge at this point and has potential to grow i've never said otherwise. I just say barkley's arm is above average and under estimated by most.

And barkley's line WAS not very good, and neither was his Defense. Yes he had stud WR's but so did Geno. Barkley kept his team in the oregon and UCLA games and USC went to complete and total shit once they lost him for the season

Basically this. his arm isn't as strong as genos.
