What kind of money should the Bears offer Matt Barkley?

Oh there's at least 1 that treats it that way. The problem is that it's grading mechanic is flawed, as seen by Shea being the best DE on the Bears his rookie year over a guy like Peppersb/c of "disruptions" and Webb being a better OT then Bushrod. Nothing wrong w/looking at PFF for funzies, but it's hardly the end all be all, and really only good for the teams since they can sort through the good and bad w/the information only they have.

I guarantee you, while fans debated Shea's rookie year and some used PFF for validation that it was a good year, the Bears weren't fooled one bit by PFF's grade; nor was anyone in the NFL believing that Bushrod was worse at OT then Webb, but some fans actually bought that b/c PFF graded it so.

How would you guys rate Barkley if he would have been drafted instead of Bullard in round 3 this year? Would you be impressed with it? How much would the judgement look different?
How much better do you think would a vet Free Agent look that was a starter in the past?

I don't think Barkley has done bad, Welp, I really think he has done pretty well.

No he was very highly touted at one point , so ur not wrong . Like I said b4 alot of how sucessful any player turns out to be , depends aLOT on how much time a coaching staff invests in him ( especially w QB's ) . If you have the tools and they put the time in , you probably do well - if ur an afterthought , well then good luck . Ain't exactly fair is it ? but when you luck into a 'chance' then u better make the most of it . So far Barkley has run with his chance fairly well , but guys like him have to keep doing well cuz they have a short leash , cuz no ones totally 'sold' on him yet .
He's built up a little street cred with the Bears . He'd be a fool to sign somewhere else .

I'm pretty sure if he would have been drafted by us this draft he'd be getting much more love than he already does.
