you just compared deep balls by how fast they were going, and on two completely different plays, qb's decide on how much loft they want to put on their ball. The fact that mallet threw it for less yards at basically the same speed proves absolutely nothing. can we agree on this? ALSO all you did was compare the two deepest throws you saw them make, and used the fact that you saw Barkley complete a deeper pass as the basis to tell me that Barkley has a better deep ball.
I see a lot of statements here that are just plain inaccurate. For instance you've put forth the idea that perhaps Ryan Mallett's deep shot went only as fast as Matt Barkley's because he lofted it. This is false. Just plain false. Mallett belted his 52 yarder at a low trajectory and it hit Joe Adams in stride even though Adams was pretty well covered. It was an extremely impressive throw by Mallett, to be honest with you.
You say the fact that Mallett's ball speed was the same over less yards proves absolutely nothing. Umm...ok. It does show something, but whatever floats your boat, I guess. Everyone's got the right to be wrong.
And if you think that all I did was use the fact that Barkley completed a deeper pass than Mallett to show he's got a good deep ball, then I don't know what to tell you. Is this unintentional ignorance, or are you intentionally ignoring everything I've brought up about the subject?
every scout in the league will agree that barkley's deep ball us subpar, but for some reason you know better then them right ?
LMFAO. Umm...ok. So you regularly talk to every scout in the league. Right. You know what they're all thinking. Right. Am I disagreeing with every scout in the league? Do I know better than every scout in the league? The answer to that is a pretty emphatic 'no'. But I'm not arguing with every scout in the league, because neither I nor you know what they think. I'm arguing with you. And yes, I do know better than you.
you may have impressed a few people on finheaven with your long, unimpressive rebuttal to something that i posted, but not me. It smacks you in the face when you see a collection of barkley's passes downfield (not counting his 20-25 yard fades which are on point) that he loses an insane amount of accuracy after about 35-40 yards.
Lord knows I live to impress you. LMFAO. Does Barkley lose some accuracy when he's throwing the ball at about 50 to 60 yards? Yes. Does every QB in the NFL also lose accuracy at that distance? Yes. Is it very common for NFL QBs to be throwing balls that travel that far in the first place? No. Drew Brees has only thrown the ball 30+ yards beyond the line of scrimmage 5 times this year. You're awfully obsessed about an aspect of Barkley's game that represents only like 4% of a guy like Drew Brees' production.
Oh and Whats THEORY are you talking about? there was no theory stated Barkley has a weak inaccurate deep ball.
Umm, yeah. The theory that Barkley throws a bad deep ball. The theory you put forward. It should be considered pretty thoroughly debunked.
