Agreed, the fact that someone listed Wilson ahead of Tyler Bray, in terms of NFL draft status, has my head spinning.


don't be a homer. Wilson is much much much better.

Barkley is very similar to Mark Sanchez. Pretty boy quarterback who is very robotic. Barkley has the best pocket mechanics, but when a play breaks down, there aren't many as good as Tyler Wilson. He doesn't have to be "set" in the pocket to make an accurate pass. I think his baseball background gives him an edge on making hard, off-balance throws. Plus, there are toughness questions with Barkley, and I don't think anyone will question TW's toughness. Barkley is a better pure pocket passer and will probably get drafted higher. If Aaron Murray was a couple of inches taller, he would easily be in that conversation. NFL scouts get a little too caught up in measurables. If he slips in the draft he would be a very solid pick up.

I won't disagree but I think that it's more important what a QB can do in the pocket.

yeah it's a shame. He will make someone a nice 2nd or 3rd round pick if he can cut down the int's though.

couldn't agree more.

I agree that he is more talented. I was just using the style of quarterback as a comparison.

I would also agree with you here. TW is definitely no slouch in the pocket, but is not there with Barkley yet.
