Matt Barkley vs Andrew Luck

[theonlywhiteout]

Andrew Luck is the #1 pick of the entire draft. Matt may have a good NFL career but I agree with previous poster, Landry vs Matt is a better question right now

It's just you.

Having seen just about every snap Barkley has taken in his career, I don't believe he's going to transition well to the NFL game. I think he's a very good college QB, but I believe he's going to be one of those guys who just isn't suited to the NFL game.

Projecting QB's is tough to do, but when I watch him play I just don't see a guy who's really NFL capable. I like Matt, but that's just how I see him.

Andrew Luck for my money is as sure fire of a pick that can possibly be. Does that mean he's a lock? No, because it's impossible to say with any certainty how a guy will make the jump, but he's as NFL ready, with all the physical and mental attributes you would look for in a QB getting ready to make the jump.

I could be off on this, I have been before and I will be again, but if I were a GM, this is not even a close race.

lol at saying this will be like a Leaf vs. Manning debate.
Luck is on another level right now.
The debate will be(IF they declare by the way) Barkley vs. Landry Jones.

Luck, no question.

I honestly think Nick Foles will be a better NFL QB than Barkley. Nothing really concrete to back that up, other than a gut feeling.

At this rate Foles may not even be drafted.

I haven't seen that much of Barkley outside of highlights. I'm interested to hear why you think he won't transition well. The only knock I've heard on him is his accuracy on deep balls.

While we're talking "gut feelings" about this QB class...

I think Brandon Weeden will turn out to be the second best QB of this class and turn into an upper-tier NFL starter. Better than Landry Jones, better than RGIII, better than Matt Barkley. He'll go later because of the offense he played in and his age, but someone will find a steal when they draft him.
