How about Barkley and Robert Woods

How about Geno Smith and Stedman Bailey or Tavon Austin

You honestly think Geno Smith is going to be available when the Bills are on the clock?

Out of curiosity what don't you all like about Barkley in this video? This is a genuine question, I don't have a dog in the race for the draft. His deep throws seem particularly accurate, and the fade's he throws seem right on the money. Those are two things we severely lack. I was most impressed by that touchdown throw where he rolled to his right and while running tossed it 40 or so in the air right into the receiver's breadbasket.

Many of his passes are high I agree... Would kill a few WR at pro level. I also like Landry Jones though.

Now you're talking

1. QB Landry Jones 6'4" 235 Oklahoma 2. DE Ezekiel Ansah 6'5 275 BYU 3. CB Bennett Jackson 6'0" 190 4. WR Cobi Hamilton 6'3" 209 5. OLB Jelani Jenkins 6'0" 230 Florida 6. RB Zach Line 6'0" 230 SMU 7.

Head Coach - Bruce Arianst

I knew Barbarian would be all over that idea! Me, I would prefer Gino Smith, but I'd be OK with L. Jones

I live in L.A.

 

In L.A., the pro football team is USC. Its all they talk about on the radio.

 

But for Barkley, its like they have a hard time finding something good to say about him. I was listening a few days ago to a sportstalk show with 3 local hosts. They were having a contest to see who to compare Barkley to. "weak to average arm." "Game manager at best."

 

-One said "I see him as a Carson Palmer type." The other two said "really?????" at the same time. As in "that good?"

-The other said "ceiling, I see him as Sanchez. Floor, I see him as Blaine Gabbert. No pocket awareness. In the big-boy league, you wont have the best OL in football, to lock onto Marquise Lee until he's open."

-The third said "I see him as Jimmy Clausen. Good in college but doesnt have the "it" factor to translate to the pros. Weak arm, locks onto receivers, doesnt go through progressions."

 

And these are the local jocks who love USC and try their best to be positive. But they were having a giggle-fest.

 

Other shows are the same. They work hard to find something good to say about Barkley's pro prospects. I havent watched many games, but . . . ugh.

Face it...NOBODY knows how good a college QB will be in the NFL. That's why the kid we are playing today went in the 3rd round.

 

It's a total crapshoot, but you gotta pick somebody and Barkley probably has as much chance as anyone.
