[QUOTE="PackersRS, post: 398494, member: 1429"] Yeah, the games I saw (didn't see vs Kansas) he was missing some passes, but every college QB misses passes, and it's not as if he was throwing wild balls... The ones he was making was very accurate (in the perfect place). The decision-making (throwing into solid coverage) was also good, but the first quarter against Texas he wasn't great. I don't care one bit about college stats, they don't mean a thing. Tebow was above 60% completion, and he is awful throwing. In college, the windows are huge, a QB doesn't have to be very accurate, he just needs to get the ball there. Moreso in a spread system, it's really easy reads. Like I said, I need to see more, but what I saw was special. It's rare for a college QB to be that accurate. Cam Newton was very accurate in college, but he was playing on a one read system, so you couldn't really tell how good he was. Very easy to be accurate when you only have one read. As for Barkley, again, the games I've seen from him, (Stanford, Notre Dame, Cal) I just didn't see enough from him. Nothing that popped out. Not a great arm, not very accurate, wasn't making great changes at the LOS, was staring at his receivers... I believe that he's more of a product of that system than a great prospect. But both Mark Sanchez and Matt Leinart went into the top 10, so it wouldn't surprise me if he was picked early. I'm pretty sure I'll look like a fool and will make different evaluations, maybe even contradicting myself... [/QUOTE]
