Bears fans still coping with the possible reality that Bears don't go QB again.

And he also threw a ton of darts to people, many of which were dropped.
Not perfect, but that game was well above backup level. Even good backup level (Hoyer).

Ok and when did I say anything about just 1 game? Did you miss where I said IF he continues to improve and play good?
If your QB evaluating is anything like your reading comprehension then this is good news for Bears fans..

No matter what the Bears should go QB in rounds 1 or 2.

Barkley stood in there and took hits while delivering the ball to the dropsie twins....the guy has talent and we dont know if he can be good or not. Today was a good first game...Im not counting his Chip Kelly time...guys sucks as a NFL coach.
With that said the Bears still need to draft a QB...Barkley looks like he can at least become a serviceable back up

This is kind of like when Leno showed up and played well.
It looks like he has capped off at solid starter, but that isn't bad for where we got him and for awhile he looked like he could be a really good player.
Still a great value for us.

Bears receivers dropped 10 passes today. That is the most for a team in a game in the PFF era(2006-2016) https://t.co/aH3430bfoD

slow the Barkley train, he didn't light the world on fire. Some of you fall in love way to easy! Like you did with Fox

I went back and watched some of his college tape after the game. He showed the same touch and pro-style offensive control at USC. He progresses VERY well, he looks off and pumps defenders VERY well also. He showed a lot of touch at USC and threw a lot of 50-yard-bombs to his WRs as well. He had an amazing group of WRs to throw to, but you have to remember he was on track to be a very high draft pick if he came out after 2011. He went back and got hurt and fell to the 4th. Then he had to endure the Kelly idiocy in PHI. Don't know if he is going to be any good, but first impression was great, especially in the second half. His ball placement is nearly perfect, and he threw while being hit repeatedly and he did it accurately. Hope he shows well again next week.

One thing I like about Barkley is he isn't a check down guy and will hold is stance to try to get the pass out.

The QB situation may not have changed, but the FO would be foolish to dismiss what Barkley did today. That performance, especially in the second half, was nothing short of excellent. He was good pre-snap, he looked off the safety repeatedly, found his secondary receivers and made very accurate throws. If he continues to improve, it will be very hard to justify using a #1 pick on a crap shoot QB.
I followed the Eagles when Nick Foles was the starting QB, and Barkley was kind of a joke. I thought he would be a disaster today, and he was far from it. He now has my attention.

Typical fan overreaction, calm the fuck down. This is the same simpleminded shit we get in the preseason. If Barkley strings together multiple solid games, yup. But to pretend one game is a trend is just meatball BS at it's best.

No, but I think at worst he would be a RFA, he doesn't have 4 years of service.
Update he is a UFA, but can't see him not re-signing if things go well.

I'd still draft a QB in Rd 1. That said, I'd keep Matt as my back up over Hoyer.
