I have absolutely no idea how you can say Barkley goes through his progressions. His first read is open around 75%, so he rarely ever goes through it in the first place and when he does, he completely falls apart. He forces throws even when the first read is blanketed ( much like Cassel) and if the route takes time to develop he either mistimes his throw or starts having a ****ing staring contest with his number 1 and the defender. Let's not forget how spoiled Barkley is with an awesome O-line/wide receiving core- something I doubt he will have if he's drafted as high as everyone thinks he will be.

The thing is Barkley's relies heavily on his pre-snap reads, which are usually brilliant, but, if his first read isn’t open, he begins to worry about the blitz. He hops around the pocket like a frog. If he ever feels he has held the ball too long he’ll throw off his back foot, that remind you of someone? He doesn't really excel in the fourth quarter either, which is where most of his rushed throws come from.

I can agree with you on arm strength but I'm tired of a guy with just a 'tolerable deep ball'. I want a Geno Smith deep ball.

... And comparing Barkley to Schaub? I feel like you're really discrediting Schaub. Barkley is more of a Blaine Gabbert.
