They said Kellen Moore's problem was height. He is 6'0. Matt Barkley is 6'1, and he's the #1 overall prospect.
Really? Why isn't Barkley getting the Moore treatment? There is no way one inch makes the difference.
Hope Moore becomes a starter one day. He's definitely good enough to.

Analysts will always pick on something about a prospect. I was reviewing Moore basic stats (quite impressive by the way) and have to agree with you that he has full potential to become a starter.

barkley plays in a prostyle offense though, has almost the tools of an NFL QB, and hes playing at arguably, the BIGGEST nfl prospects factory
moore only looks like he has the stuff, because he plays a soft schedule every year. i know that might sound dumb, but to compare moore to barkley will not work. maybe someday moore will get his chance, but i dont think it will be in the nfl

If Moore needs to improve his arm strength then I'd start him

Moore has zero arm stregnth and his accuracy is overrated because of his soft schedule. He struggled throwing the ball 10 yards down field at the Senior Bowl.
He went undrafted, and rightfully so.

This is why Bengal controls the NFL Draft section. Spot on, Mr. Bengal!
You make a pretty good point though MO.

There are so many biases when looking at prospects. One is that they don't have the prototypical size to play the position. Ray Lewis was too small to play Linebacker, Drew Brees was too small to play QB, Steve Smith was too short to play WR, etc, etc.
Logan Thomas is going to be the most overdrafted player in the NFL next year if he declares. He has eye-popping size for a QB(6'6" 265) and can run the ball like a RB, but he is like a deer in the headlights when playing QB. His accuracy is too inconsistent and he doesn't have a great arm. However, GMs are going to go ga-ga over his plus athleticism.

RG3 will most likely be a bust then, because Baylor plays in a spread offense. And you know it too, bengal, the Big 12 is NOTORIOUS for bad defense. Mountain West defenses are probably just as good..

I'm not worried about the senior bowl. That was one game. Vs Oregon 2008 = 25/ 37, 67.6%, 386 yards, 3 TD, 1 INT Vs Oregon 2009 = 19/29, 65.5%, 197 yards, 1 TD, 0 INT Vs Virginia Tech 2010 = 23/38, 60.5%, 215 yards, 3 TD, 0 INT Vs Utah 2010= 28/38, 73.3%, 339 yards, 2 TD, 1 INT Vs Georgia 2011 = 28/34, 82.4%, 261 yards, 3 TD, 1 INT Vs Arizona State 2011 = 26/34, 76.5%, 293 yards, 2 TD, 2 INT Those are 6 teams that are ranked in the top 25 most of the time. (Except for Arizona State, but they are a decent team.) His production didn't take a drop when he played the big time games.
