i have a tear in my rotator cuff now and it sucks.. I've lost so much strength in not only day to day stuff but throwing anything with velocity. I'm doing physical therapy to strengthen it back up to hopefully be back to where i was before the tear. Hopefully i can get my arm back and throw a football like i used too here soon!

So i know what shoulder pain is like and it does suck. I can just now finally sit on the couch and not be in pain from just having my arm rest on the armrest. Definitely sucks

I would tend to agree with him not throwing if he were completely healthy.

I really don't know though. I would think it would concern some teams.

Wait till its some normal activity that will rock your world. Mine was reaching for the remote on the coffee table.

oh there has been plenty, sitting at desks, the couch, trying to scratch my back, reaching out to grab anything. Thankfully my labrum wasn't torn, I have inpingment going on aswell that caused the tear, i got into the muscle but didn't tear the tendon yet so i caught it early. No fun whatsoever!

Who ever said that? I didn’t… “@USC_Athletics: QB @MattBarkley will not throw at the NFL Combine.”



BOOM

NOICE!!!!

so we very well may be seeing barkley, wilson, and smith all 3 throwing at the combine!

I hope Matty has a great career. The USC stigma needs to die.

Rich Hammond ‏@RegisterUSC

To be accurate, @MattBarkley said it would be a "game-time decision" as to whether he would throw at the combine. Didn't seem likely though.

Is that REALLY Matt Barkley?

Sorry, I just had to. :D

Well Played

Didn't know the Brits cared about Barkley this much.

Barkley is definitely the most seasoned of the group.

Geno has said he's throwing at the combine.

These QBs need to be seen more, not less. If Barkley can't throw, that's one thing, but I think teams have questions about all the QBs.

2) USC QB Matt Barkley is right around 6-foot-2 and has a very thick build. I've seen Barkley play live several times during his college career and I noticed one big difference last week: His arm has gotten much stronger. He was able to drive the ball with more authority than he has in the past three years. He has always had great footwork and touch as a passer, but there were concerns about his ability to squeeze the ball into tight windows down the field. I was pleasantly surprised to watch him crank up the velocity on the deep comebacks during the workout on Saturday.
