A Philadelphia Eagles made the splash within the NFL offseason when people hired Oregon Ducks head coach Chip Kelly.
All things considered, Kelly worked out an alternative deal to bring rear veteran quarterback Michael Vick. They immediately signed his ex- college quarterback, Dennis Dixon. And his 2012 quarterback for Oregon was Marcus Mariota, exactly who ran the ball 106 intervals for 752 yards together with five scores, including some sort of 86-yard touchdown run.
Kelly traded up various spots on Day 3 in the draft to grab Barkley together with his fourth-round pick. And it might be the steal of your draft.
Barkley has all the tools to be Kelly's quarterback for the future. Had Barkley declared for any draft following his jr season, he likely would have been a top-10 overall pick. Barkley was allowed to be a first-round selection the year of 2010 until the weeks leading up to the draft when he slipped, eventually falling to pick No. 98.
There ended up being concerns about Barkley's upper extremity strength. His senior season ended prematurely because of shoulder injury. He lost five games and used a career-worst 15 interceptions. All of contributed to his tumble; Barkley was just the fourth quarterback off the board.
DeSean Jackson along with Jeremy Maclin are playmaking extensive receivers. Brent Celek and Zach Ertz is a fearsome one-two tight terminate punch, while fullback/tight end James Casey is a weapon lining up in multiple spots. Factor with an offensive line that returns three starters from problems, and Barkley is ready to succeed.
Some, like Having News' Vinnie Iyer, believe Barkley is usually this year's Russell Wilson. Naturally, the quarterback position in Philadelphia is available, and Barkley is the sole quarterback on the roster hand-picked by way of Kelly (Dixon won't very likely make the team).
It's not unreasonable at all to expect that Barkley is most likely the starter for the team's opener with the Washington Redskins. Barkley said he expects to contend for the starting spot during a preseason, according to NEW JERSEY. com.
Barkley was a four-year starter in high school and college, tossing 116 touchdown passes in the stellar career at USC. He showed the intelligence to deal with a hurry-up offense predicated at quick decision-making.
Barkley is no threat to run that ball, but his array from weapons in Philadelphia and his savvy football IQ should make him a superb fit for the quarterback job. Barkley even directed a good no-huddle offense while with USC, which is necessary for leading Kelly's offense.
It would be surprising to see the rookie Barkley beat out Michael Vick for ones starting quarterback job in 2013. Vick was cut back on a one-year come to terms, one that should propose he's the starter if he's still in the roster after his $3. 5 thousand thousand bonus in August.
Even if Barkley is buried to the depth chart behind Nick Foles, he will gain valuable experience being an observant of Kelly's offense. Kelly said he had Barkley rated among this top 50 prospects inside the draft class.
Considering Vick has played all 16 games just once in his career, there's a great chance either Foles or Barkley enables substantial time in 2013 as a starter. Bet on Barkley pumping out Foles, and bet on Barkley evolving into the team's full-time starter from the end of the months.
