Matt Barkley

Can we draft this kid right now after his Freshman season ?

Future #1 pick of the draft 2012.

Re: Matt Barkley

Yeah, great... another Cali QB.... pass.

Re: Matt Barkley

He would probably be the #1 pick if he was able to come out in this draft.

Think again.

This kid is going to be a star. He can make every pass. NFL arm. Been groomed to be an NFL star is whole life.

Yep I did. Still don't think so.

Can't help you then if you don't understand what you're watching.

He's played well for a freshman, but no way is he ready yet. On this pace, he should be scary good in two years for sure, but not a chance he's ready right now.

Maybe if you could draft the entire USC line and running game with him...not that you'd want to after that game.

He's obviously been well coached, and I'm talking even before he step foot on the USC campus. I really don't see a weakness besides youth and he looks pretty cool, calm and confident. Has all the physical abilities and he can read a defense well right now. I can't see him staying four years at USC.

Re: Matt Barkley

I didn't say he could walk into the NFL and START right now, but he has the most upside of any college qb.

Oh so you are back tracking now

I understand that he is looking very good. But you went as far as saying he could be a #1 pick in this years draft. That is just plain wrong. It may be in his future but he is raw right now.

Re: Matt Barkley

Not back tracking.
I said he would be the 1st pick in the draft, that doesn't mean you have to start from day one. Big difference.

I would take him right now over any qb on the Bills roster. Because the three we currently have are leading this team nowhere.

He has definitely looked good. I'm a little wary of him, considering how absolutely STOCKED USC is with talent (RB's are all great, has Damian Williams at WR, had McCoy at TE, great OL).

I'll definitely watch the kid in the coming years, and if he keeps developing then he'll be scary good. However, things always don't turn out like they should in CFB, it seems. Just look at Blount, Bradford, Jermaine Gresham, etc., just this year. We'll have to see with Barkley.

Re: Matt Barkley

Exactly. We'll know a lot more about Barkley after another season. Right now he's just a pretty good QB on a superbly talented 2 loss team.
