I hope not. I'd rather have any of the other three

Matt Miller ‏@nfldraftscout
If Bray does declare, as I'm being told he will, would be my No. 3 QB right now behind Geno Smith & Tyler Wilson. Lot of potential, big arm


God Barkley sucks....no wonder he stayed in school for 4 years.

LMAO

Scott Wright does his first scouting report. Compares him to Andy Dalton. I think that's pretty spot on.


http://www.draftcountdown.com/Scouti...tt-Barkley.php


Strengths:
• Accurate with impressive touch, timing and anticipation
• Technically sound with refined mechanics and footwork
• Able to read coverages and work through progressions
• Cool, calm and collected with superb pocket presence
• Shows ability to slide and maneuver within the pocket
• Accustomed to working under center in pro style system
• Outstanding intelligence with extremely high football IQ
• Excellent feel, awareness and understanding of game
• Mature, hard working and is a respected team leader
• A ton of experience against high-quality competition

Weaknesses:
• Adequate height but shorter than the prototype
• Lacks the arm strength to drive balls downfield
• Struggles when throwing deep / vertical routes
• Not a great athlete and won't be a threat to run
• Deficiencies masked by talented supporting cast
• May not be a good fit for every system or team
• Shaky pedigree (Leinart, Cassel, Booty, Sanchez)
• Durability concerns after multiple minor ailments

Injury History:
• Missed one game in 2009 with a bruised right shoulder
• Missed some action with a sprained right ankle in 2010
• Underwent surgery on right wrist after the 2010 season
• Missed one game in 2012 with a sprained right shoulder

Notes:
A four-year starter for the Trojans --- Became the first three-time team captain in USC history --- Attended Mater Dei High School (CA), whose alums also include John Huarte, Todd Marinovich, Matt Leinart and Colt Brennan --- A coveted and highly-decorated prep recruit who was named the 2007 Gatorade National Player of the Year --- One of the most prolific passers in Southern Cal history and name is plastered all over the programs record books --- Recipient of the 2012 Wuerffel Trophy, which honors exemplary community service with athletic and academic achievement --- Devout Christian who has spent time in both Haiti and Nigeria building homes, distributing supplies and helping those in need --- Would most likely have been a Top 10 overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft but opted to stay in school --- Was never the elite, franchise quarterback prospect that some made him out to be and a number of flaws were exposed during a very disappointing senior campaign --- Best fit may come in a West Coast Offense --- A polished signal caller who compensates for average physical tools with fantastic intangibles and profiles as a starter at next level in the right situation.

NFL Player Comparison: Andy Dalton

Andy Dalton has a much stronger arm than Barkley.

Yeah Dalton has a cannon for an arm.

From the 9 to the 31 is 60 yards. Even at that, 60 yards is not bad. I will say this I not being a Barkley supporter, this is the 1st time I have seen this play. But it changes nothing of how I feel about Barkley. That 60 yards is not always going to be there on each deep throw, nor is a WR going to be so open that he has the time to slow down and adjust the route to haul it in.

Matthew Barkley ‏@MattBarkley
Doctors haven’t cleared me to play, so I won’t be suiting up on Saturday. I’ll be here with my team to finish strong. Proud to be a Trojan!

NAILED IT

Ooof. You might have been able to Sam Bradford yourself into the top spot in 2010, Matty.

Not this year. Sorry.

Hey look: It's the Barkley Blows thread!

^LMAO

Time to unsubscribe, me thinks!

So anybody want to hop back on this bandwagon? I kept the seats warmed for alot of you. :)

Nope.

In all fairness, I just want to see us finally take a shot at a QB.

I'd prefer Geno, but if it were Wilson or Barkley, I'd be OK with it.
