Matt Barkley overrated?

I have only seen USC play twice this year, but both times I have been very underwhelmed by Barkley. He has the best WR in the nation (Lee) and another high draft pick (Woods), but I don't think there is any way Barkley should be the first QB taken in the draft or be a top 10 draft pick. NFL bust in my opinion.
What do you think? I am off here? Again, I haven't seen him play much.

He's as good as advertised. But USC as a whole is overrated.....as usual.

Judging by the couple of USC games I have seen, they ask him to do to much.

if USC's defense was just average, Barkley would have fewer picks

Not sure what the stats look like, but it seems to me like he's constantly getting pressured in the pocket. Is USC's line as shitty as they came off to me?

He's got tiny girl hands, like that guy from the Burger King commercials.

I think he consistently makes NFL quality throws, which is something. He has great WRs, but it is a give/take in how good he makes them look and vice versa.
I think he is first round good, regardless of his numbers this year (he has been making great throws there for 40 games)

he really is. woudl not shock me if he felt out of the top 5.
he is not big. at all. he goes apeshit at the smallest bit of pressure, and any throw that requires him to put some mustard on the ball looks like freaking danny warrfuel. well not htat bad but you get mny point. he's a right handed versino of Matt lienhart maybe not so much the party animal. I dont' think he's a bust but i don't think he's a prototypical franchise QB. he has to go to the right system (west coast) he doesn't have the arm to play in a scheme that is built on stretching the field.
and keep in mind he's doing this with 2 nfl WR's.. shite 2 first round NFL WR's one of which will will without question be a top 5 pick and an NFL offensive line.
from what i gather the general consensus is
1. geno smith
2. tyler wilson
3. matt barkley.

As I've said for years, Barley is a short, unathletic QB with medium arm strength. He's at best a mid-round and by mid-round I mean 3rd-4th round not 15-20th pick. He's been mascarading as the best QB in the land for years now solely because of the talent around him.
Guys I'd take above him for the NFL:
-Mike Glennon (most underrated QB in CFB)
-Seth Doege
-Tyler Wilson
-Tyler Bray
-Tajh Boyd
-Geno Smith
Anyone who takes Barkley with a first round pick let alone the number one pick should be publically tortured.

In hindsight though, he is one of the more overrated QBs in the past few years.

He's only overrated as a pro prospect. He's a very good, not great, college QB helped by his great supporting cast.

I'm curious to think how the MSB views this guy as a pro prospect.

I like Ryan Nassib of Syracuse. I think he is just as good, if not better, than most of the QB's you just mentioned.

wow, the QBs suck this year. And if your team selects Boyd, they are setting their offense back 5 years.
