Chiefs I think it's gonna be Barkley. - Page 7

Chris Meck · 11-13-2012, 12:05 PM

I think that Smith has more obvious physical ability, but there are real questions about offensive system he's in and his performance against real competition.

Barkley's a good bet to at least be a solid NFL QB. Intangibles are all there, and he's run a pro style offense for 4 years.

I think people are making too big of a deal about his arm being weak; it's not weak, it's just not elite. He's super accurate, though.

No first round pick is immune to being a bad pick in the NFL but going with the "safe bet" at quarterback isn't necessarily a "bad" thing.

Locker and Gabbert weren't safe bets and I wouldn't take either. It's pretty clear to me that Sarkissian, Locker's coach (and Leinart & Sanchez's coach) coached those guys up big time.

Barkley has succeeded despite being coached by Kiffin.

So, he's a perfect match for our mentally-challenged coaching staff?

Iiiiiiiiiiiiiinteresting...

At this point, truly ANY of these projected first rounders will be a major upgrade over our current, flaming garbages.

John David Booty was a 5th rounder. I don't think anyone expected greatness from him.

I was adding Palmer to the 10 year list, since he fits in the window.

Ah. Well yeah, he was definitely wrong.

Sanchez may not be All World but he did get his team the AFC Championship and 30 minutes from the Super Bowl in his rookie year and followed it up with another AFC Championship game. If the Chiefs drafted a first round QB that accomplished that feat, I'd be giddy, warts and all.

Off-topic, the Jets need to clean house as well. Tannebaum, Rex, all of them. What a train wreck that place has become.

Tyler Wilson's character issues worry me. I'm not sure I'd trust that guy with $22 million dollars in his pocket. I'd perform serious, serious due-diligence, including extensive psychiatric examinations, before choosing him Top Five.

Something about that dude scares me if I'm a General Manager.

He seems like Jerry Jones material to me.

And what exactly are his character issues?

yeah i know.
as i said earlier i'll settle for either of the top three QB's.
just hope we have a GM and a coaching staff better than the current regime in place to groom him.

He was arrested for public intoxication, he's known to be arrogant and stubborn, and on and on.

All things that most NFL teams don't take lightly these days.

Also, when there's smoke, there's usually fire. I wouldn't be surprised to hear more come out during Combine week and thereafter.

He has a long, long, long way to go before he's a NFL QB.

Green Bay will draft him so Aaron has somebody bitch to about mom's nagging phone calls and unannounced visits. The rest of the Green Bay locker room has been getting pretty fed up with it all last time I heard.

^^^ Those things don't really worry me, personally. He's a 21/22 yo student-athlete.

If you're a first time GM whose career depends on whether or not you get that pick right, it's definitely worrisome.

Not many GM's get the opportunity to choose two Top Five quarterbacks.

Curious about this as well.

I think its gonna be Barkley as well. I am ok with it. In the end i really dont care who they pick, as long as we finally attempt to try the young qb.

Im listening to ESPN LA radio right now and during the comercials, you can hear MIke from Mike and MIke talking about the Chiefs havent had a drafted qb win since like 1987. lol National Media is finally on to this shit now.
