Before you bash Barker ....

[Anon1663421675]

Remember this:
1. He was an Army All American, so several experts thought pretty highly of him.
2. He is on his third QB coach.
3. He is on his third coordinator.
4. It generally takes two years for a QB to truly learn the system he is running. It is even harder when changing every year.

I am in my 27th year of coaching football on both the collegiate and high school level. The one thing that I have learned over that time about QBs, is that it takes some time, but more importantly it takes consistency. I'm not saying that Drew is going to be an all american, but he does need the chance to have an offense that he is in that has consistency.

Just my two cents.

Bashing Barker is dumb. He's a true sophomore in his second game. He's already shown signs that he's a damn good QB and way better than Towles. He has no blocking and terrible coaching.

Peyton Manning would have been gun shy today. Barker knew he had about 2.5 seconds to get rid of the ball. He also knew Fla was jumping routes.

Don't get me wrong, Barker could have played much better. But, I don't think today was QB problem.
