Chiefs trade their number one pick and swap second rounders with Carolina for Cam Newton.

I'd trade our first to Miami for Tannehill if we couldn't get Smith.

I think he'll be better than Wilson and Barkley.

I dont want barkley because USC qbs suck /dumb chiefs fans

Barkley's going to be awesome because he looked great at USC /dumb Barkley backers

There are ample reasons to dislike Barkley and most of them have nothing to do with his choice of schools. Besides, there really aren't any "QBUs" out there - you could insert essentially any major college in your sentence and it would be largely accurate.

USC is no better or worse than OU, 'Bama, Penn State, Ohio State or any of the other 'powerhouse programs' over the last couple of decades. Very few QBs from any of those schools, even the most highly touted ones, have amounted to much.

For every Manning, there's a Shuler. For every Brady there's a Henne. Hell, if anything, USC does much better than most.

No, I think you're knocking down a straw men here - the people that don't like Barkley don't like him because he's short and has a barely adequate NFL arm.

Barkley is a Cassel clone.

Cassel started at USC for 4 years?

Matt Barkley

Anyone but Barkley please. He has a lot of Cassel-esque flaws like poor arm strength, staring receivers down, and at times 'happy feet'. I'm rooting for Geno TBH.

That's interesting. Tyler Wilson in my book isn't up there yet with Geno (my 1st choice) but of the 3, if I'm being honest, I think he has the biggest arm.

http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=8329628 I mean watch the zip on some of these throws.

Next to Tyler Bray, who isn't NFL ready, I don't know if I've see another guy with the cannon as big as Wilsons.

Just speaking purely on arm strength.

I'm kidding but people on here have literally made that argument.

****...you and Billay are making me look like a dick here.

Barkley is most assuredly not Cassel. No, he doesn't stare WRs down. In fact, I've noticed that he generally goes through his progressions quite well. The only thing that gives that appearance is that his #1 read is usually open.

And c'mon, everyone gets happy feet at times. Barkley's actually appeared to be a little above average in that regard. He's certainly not Blaine Gabbert or Matt Cassel. He'll stand in to take a hit and deliver the ball.

His arm strength is no better than average, but it's an easier arm strength than Cassel's. He doesn't require the long wind-up that Cassel does to generate his average arm strength. His release is generally quick enough and repeatable enough that he can be accurate on intermediate balls and tolerable on deep(ish) passes.

He has a lot of the same strengths and weaknesses as Matt Schaub. He's a good, not great, QB prospect.

Matt Barkley is not Matt Cassel.

And if you find yourself in bed with Billay, you should really reconsider your position.

The USC QB thing makes me superstitious but, Lane Kiffen had his hands all over this kid and that is a bad thing. Barkley is 3rd on the list for me. Lane Kiffen just ****s things up.

Smith or Death.

Bingo.

RGIII!
