Matt Barkley

[Anthony]

Does he even fit Chip's system?

[ishimonster]

Don't like it, but after consideration:

- It's only a 4th round pick so if he blows they could still easily take another QB next year
- It could get Vick out faster

You know, this move is about upside. You really can't argue with this gamble here.

absolutely... I don't think Vick fits the system. He doesn't adjust fast enough.

my sentiments too

[ishimonster]

I don't think Vick fits as a starting QB in the NFL, in any offense. Hope Barkley or Foles starts and Vick gets cut before Washington.

[GroundedBird]

... but another Barkley in Philly?

Last one was pretty entertaining

[BirdBrawn]

I'm down with it. Good value at that point.

[The Ref]

Barkley looks like the Karate Kid snot nosed bully.

[CCPete]

Amazing the way some are trying to justify Chips picks. They never likes Barkley but all of a sudden there's value??? Anyone who thinks free agency addressed tis defense is dreaming. Since Chip chose to ignore it in the draft, we will not compete.

If you know what Chip Kelly's system is going to be...I don't think there is one person outside of the NovaCare complex that has any idea what he is going to do but one thing he did let us in on last night that I liked was when they go three tights and the defense goes Linebackers then he will split them out, if they go coverage then he will slam it. That being said, I like Barkley in this spot, he seemed to regress significantly under Kiffin which seems to be par for the course for that asshat. The one thing that has me confident in this draft is Tom Gamble!

Did you expect a great team next year anyway? The birds were four and twelve last year. They totally blew. Expectations should be low even if it was your dream draft.

[Dolomite]

He's a good looking kid.

He reminds me of Zack Morris from saved by the bell. He's what Hitler had in mind.

Maybe so, but he is not trying to slowly re build this team. He is trying to surprise and amaze the opposition with chip ball. May confuse teams at the start but unless tree is a defense out these that can hold teams to under 30 pts, it will be a disaster. Barkley or Vick?? Seriously???

[BirdBrawn]

He's a value pick in the fourth round. How hard is that to understand?
