Have you seen a mock draft that has Barkley in the first round lately? Has him in the top 15? Top 10? You will after today.

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.It is all about his arm strength. This time last year all had no questions about his arm strength. He was seen as a lock for the first QB drafted overall and some thought maybe even the first player taken. He hurt his shoulder this year and now he is seen as not having NFL arm strength. Teams want to see what he does today in his throws outside the deep hash. Me personally...I already know that outcome.

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

Has any USC QB ever been the measuring stick for QB excellence in the NFL. Stay away from USC QBs.

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.
