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.

so Lee has been throwing the ball to himself to the tune of 1600+ yards?

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.

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

I said this in a different thread 3 months ago and got crushed. Hell be just like every other SC Qb. Get picked top 5, end up being no better than Carson Palmer...at BEST.

Not a bad quarterback, but just like USC, highly overrated.

I agree with this.

I disagree with this:

Don't count this kid out. Barkely is tough and is a good leader. And while he doesn't have a great arm by NFL standards, his arm is good enough to win in the NFL IMO.

He reminds me a lot of Billy Kilmer from back in the early days of the Saints. Barkley is not an elite proepect, but I think he can start and win in the NFL.

The is a direct correlation between Barkley's less-than-amazing season and Kiffin's coaching this year
