Barkley is a below average backup QB imo. I really don’t think we beat Tennessee with him as starter, while I like our chances with Allen. I have plenty of posts following the Pats game where I’m a harsh critic of Allen. However, Allen possess ability that Barkley couldn’t dream of. Allen hasn’t been good this season, but there’s still a drop off. Although he makes mistakes, Allen also willed the team to second half victories twice this season. Barkley can’t do that. Maybe Barkley can be a better game
manager, but those type of guys lose games. I could see Barkey losing to Tennessee by something like a 10-6 final score. That doesn’t happen with Allen imo.
