    I hope you're right, that will move one more player we may want to us at #17.

    Haden, Salsbury, Peete, Marinovich, Palmer, Cassell, Sanchez, Booty, and Leinart all USC quarterbacks that didn't quite have the splash expected in the NFL. I'm not certain what happens from USC golden boy to average or below average NFL quarterback, but it happens like clockwork. I suspect Barkley will be the same.

    I wouldn't necessarily lump Carson Palmer in there...he was fine until his knee injury...

    ESPN just posted this...

    Final 2 years in college for passes of 20 yards or more

    Matt Barkley------40.8% completion percentage and 24 TD's and 2 INT's
    Andrew Luck------43.1% completion percentage and 13 TD's and 5 INT's
    Robert Griffen III--38.2% completion percentage and 33 TD's and 5 Int's

    I think that speaks volume for accuracy.

    Did they all run the same offense? Did they all start 4 years and as a true freshman?

    As a result I suspect Barkley wont be the same.

    You should really consider becoming an NFL scout.

    Barkley ran an unofficial 40 at 4.87. Not bad and that was better than most thought he would do.

    Playing Fantasy Football does not qualify you to be the in the front office or on the coaching staff of the Pittsburgh Steelers. They are professionals and you are not!

    Has any USC QB had the success as Matt Barkley for 4 years and as a true freshman?

    If your answer is no and we know it is, then how can you compare them? Oh I get it..it's because they all went to USC. Great insight Ovi. Real Man of Genius there.

    Oh and has any Baylor QB ever been the measuring stick fro excellence in the NFL before RGIII? UCLA before Troy Aikman? Louisiana State before Terry Bradshaw? Cal before Aaron Rodgers? Tennessee before Peyton Manning?

    Get the point?
