3 ints so far, looks awful, guy killed his draft stock this year. System QB, reminds me of a Clausen, that might be a bit extreme.
Not a good QB class.

He is garbage, I have been saying from the beginning he is trash over on the Bills site forum and everyone would always bash me for it, wonder if they still will be all over Barkley's jock
I don't think he's a system QB.
how would you classify him?Quote:

Ya, I don't think system QB is the right wording, I think Barkley is extremely similar to Clausen though, they are products of extremely talented WR's. Clausen had Floyd, Tate, and amazing TE's. Barkley has the 2 best WR's in college football both will be NFL WR's in Woods and Lee.Quote:

of course 1 game is never the true story but if he looks good against the top D in the land ill be sold
It'll be interesting, that's for sure. The toughest defense he faced this season was Stanford, and he was miserable that game if I recall correctly. Barkley has had an insanely productive college career, and none of it came from a gimmick offense.Quote:

This kid is amazing. I can't wait to see what he looks like in a year or two. The man is throwing wobbling ducks thirty yards down field but they are hitting his receivers right on the money.Quote:

Well I think that's because Kiffin's play calling calls for that. When asked to make throws down the field he is easily able to do so.Quote:

He will put on an amazing show at the combine or his pro day.
Some team will make him a top 3 pick no matter what he does the rest of the year.

With Kiffin involved its only a matter of time.Quote:

There is a bit of a scandal right now with it having been revealed that USC has been underinflating game balls just a bit. The assumption that's been made is that this was due to Barkley having small hands. The underinflated balls make it easier for someone with smaller hands to grip the ball. If true, this is a significant red flag, one he may end up having in common with Claussen. The combine is going to be critical for Barkley. Now Tannehill's hands are a bit on the small side too, and he's doing pretty well with Miami. Teams are going to have to pay very close attention to Barkley, however.
I'm not going to pretend like I watch every SEC game every weekend. But, judging by whats happened to the "best defense in the country" the last two weeks (Alabama). I think the SEC may be overrated this season.Quote:

EVERY team in the SEC plays defense well. No other conference in the entire Country plays defense as well as it is played in the SEC that is a fact.Quote:

As to Alabama, they lost to another SEC team. In fact the last few years i think 'bama's only losses have been in conference. That's just how strong the conference is. This year the disparity is particularly bad.
ha. great point.Quote:
