****...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.
