RogerNapalm Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 For those who want us to pick Matt Barkley with our #8 pick. Have we learned nothing? I implore you, please divert your thinking by simply using history as a lesson. Mark Sanchez - Suuuuuuucks Matt Leinhart - Laugh out loud Carson Palmer - Had a minute or two of success Rob Johnson - This should be enough right here John David Booty - Who? Todd Marinovich - Yep Rodney Peete - Was a wonderful back up for many years Barkley is doomed and frankly hasn't shown much beyond what any of these other chumps have ever shown. Does any more need to be said? Can anyone name a successful QB from USC? Ever? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billsrhody Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 The fact that you've heard of that many QBs from USC serves as a counterpoint. Find me a school that has put more QBs in the NFL in the past 15 years. History means next to nothing in the case of Matt Barkley. Different coach, different system and different development over the past 2 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different coach, different system and different development over the past 2 years. I knew the op was going to be exactly what it was so I came fully prepared to post these exact thoughts. As for Barkley, he started as a true freshman which none of the other guys did. He has more experience than all of the other guys you mentioned. I think that is very important as well as that whole except for the school name nothing else ties any of those guys to each other thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, one blown out knee later, and he became a shell of his former self. He's never been the same since that Steelers game. Not only that but Musberger says his girlfriend is hot!!! Wrong QB. That's AJ McCarron's girl. Who is hot. Not to say Barkley doesn't have a smoking piece of ace of his arm either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the bias too I just don't agree with it at all. I could see if it was the same coach, I could see if all of the others were 4 year starters. This thought process has bothered me since people railed against orakpo bc he was from Texas and "Texas players are all lazy" bc mike Williams was. I give him a lot of credit for sticking through the sanction years as well and think the whole it's USC there talent is better than anyone else doesn't apply to him bc of this. The line at USC was horrendous this year. I personally think he will end up being the best of this years class but I don't know how good he will ultimately be. Last year I think he outplayed Andrew luck throughout the season. Time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I_want_2_BILL_Lieve Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I have never understood this logic. Player X should be discounted because he went to school Y. I can't think of a position with more misses than QB. OK, you're right. The list is lackluster. But to discount MB because he went to USC seems short sighted. Tell me he has poor pocket presence, a weak arm, runs at glacial speed, is myopic, whatever, and I'm listening. What schools HAVE produced HOF QBs on a consistent basis?

Peter Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I would not take any QB with our 8th (whether from USC or any other university) in this year's draft. Later in the first round or with our second pick, I would consider it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time will tell. there are some things that certain regions tend to produce, and that certain teams boosters promises may attract.... usc for instance selling hollywood probably gets particular character traits more heavily.... their boosters, even with a different staff probably help funnel similar guys, and handle them with some consistency even with different coaches. that said, every player is an individual.

SBUffalo Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 None of those guys have been viewed the way Barkley has. Barkley is considered a very polished QB that started for a long time. He's only comparable to Carson Palmer. JDB was never expected to be much. Mark Sanchez started for a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
