This whole argument of Flacco vs. Barkley seems to me to be about which mediocre option would be best. Neither is the right answer. Beyond that I really do not care which one. This really comes down to if Allen gets hurt, would I rather be kicked in the crotch or hit in the head with a brick. Both would hurt, both could kill you, and beyond that, it just depends. For my money right now, at least Barkley knows the system and is comfortable with his role with Josh. I fall on the side of known quantity. Flacco may have once been a better QB, but that is certainly highly questionable now.
