We'll never know where he would have been selected in 2012, but Barkley -- sounding pretty sure of himself -- told The Dan Patrick Show he "had confidence" he would be the No. 2 overall pick, essentially bumping out Robert Griffin III as the second quarterback taken in April.

"I had confidence that I was going to go high," Barkley told The Dan Patrick Show on Tuesday. "It wasn't really a question of that as to why I came back."

Good QB with good mechanics, but I still don't think Barkley has the kind of measurables that Luck and Griffin have on top of the intangibles. Barkley's arm doesn't look particularly strong to me and he's not particularly athletic either.

I think RG3 still goes #2.

Barkley = the second coming of Leinart. Everything in college was easy. Once he has to work for shite, that little bitch will fold just like Leinart did.

He was saying he didn't come back because of a low draft position or to up his stock...he felt strongly that he would go really high and still decided to come back.

So, humble? I think it shows that money wasn't motivating him and he took a risk.

He's not Leinart and things haven't been easy at USC the last few years but I don't have much faith in him at the next level. Dude can't throw a deep ball accurately.

Barkley is going to turn into every other USC Qb who goes into the league.

Just so you know I am being facetious about Moon being "alright"

He's awesome.

here's how i feel about barkley in this past draft..

the colts at number 1 were no doubt taking andruw luck.. but there was a slight chatter for them to consider rg3..

throw barkley into this mix and there would have been no consideration needed between luck or barkley.

i'm really not understanding why barkley would come out and specifically call out rg3's name like that.

Although I expect RB to do very well in the NFL, he will be an interception machine in year one. Much like he was his first year at SC and when he had a new group of WRs in high school.
