Barkley lost his best opportunity to change the perception of him with the Senior Bowl week, the Combine isn’t enough of a stage to have him rise above Smith.

They are set up to make the potential draftee look good. Just ask the Jets about Sanchizes pro day or my team the Vikings about how they let Ponder and his trainers and agent fool them about his arm strength. Lol. Ha ha ha ha ha. Yep even Mel Kiper looked smarter than Rick Spielman on that pick.

Both of those teams have experience with USC quarterbacks. Seriously, 2nd round is probably a best case scenario even if he performs well at his Pro Day.

He played on a team with great talent around him and frequently wasn’t jaw-droppingly good. Hard not to think of Leinart and Sanchez.

Coming back for an extra year always seems to hurt QBs.

You’re right. Look at how it devastated Peyton and Eli Manning. Not to mention the ones that came out early that shouldn’t have. Ryan Leaf may be best example, but the list is long….

Wait for his Pro Day and then decide if there are any red flags. Its the trend now that most qb who expect a first round draft don’t throw at the combine. None of the top qbs threw at the combine last year and how did they turn out?

So better to not drop a deuce throwing at 85% and wait.

Seriously, I’m tired of hearing this guys name, hoping he fades off as quickly as Drew Rosenhaus’ name eventually did.

Does he have a fake dead girlfriend we don’t know about too?

It also could be that the doctors are telling him what they know he wants to hear.

Any team that drafts him high deserves what they get.
It is not his fault that he is overrated…but he is.
