Wilbon uses Matt Barkley to take swipe at ND

[Sherm Sticky]

Wilbon's a typical Northwestern grad, in that he has a massive inferiority complex when it comes to ND. He's a notorious hater, unworthy of serious consideration.

Nailed it. Reps.

Maybe over rated was a really bad term to use, and yes....it was a swipe at ND, however, I can understand the correlation to his point. ND has woefully underachieved in terms of where we are supposed to be in the college football world the way USC QB's underperform in the NFL. That all being said, I think of Wilbon like Cowherd......they are ratings driven professionals, and almost everything they discuss should be taken with some amount of salt.

The point is why is he even bringing ND into the convo? This is about Barkley, QBs, and USC. That's it, absolutely no need to mention ND outside of pure bias.

quickest way to not have followers on twitter

oh no! what am i going to do?!

wilbon has never been a big fan of notre dame and he isn't shy about, however he is an excellent writer, and I will continue reading his articles regardless of his thoughts on notre dame. no need for me to get my heart broken because of his shot at notre dame. if i did the only people i would be reading right now are notre dame fans.

Exactly. It's clearly global warming's fault USC has bad NFL QBs, not ND's recruiting.

I might be the only one here that loves Michael Wilbon, despite his comments on nd

Same here. I could care less about what he has to say about ND, I like Wilbon. Also it's kind of true.

Careful about stones and glass houses there. They've had a lot more QBs start a lot more NFL games in the last decade or two than we have. Maybe they're not getting to Super Bowls, but if that's the bar, most big-time programs are "systematically failing" and Miami of Ohio, Northern Iowa and Delaware are QB U.

QB starts and a lot of QB burnouts. Palmer was steady but Leinart, Sanchez, Booty were busts.

How could a guy drafted in the 5th round be considered a bust?

Because they all had the "USC QB Mystique".
