Barkley's career was derailed because of catastrophic injuries. It had to have affected his burst and his speed to a degree. Working off of an anemic passing attack where defenders would load the box to stop him and brag about the MO on the Giants' offense, was the word on the street. He had five years where the Run Blocking was 18th-30th. Stats for Yards After Contact are deceiving because if the TEs and Receivers don't execute their blocks downfield, that factors into the numbers, as well as the execution of the pulling Guard and Tackle. I would rather have had him over Darnold, who hopefully would have been replaced after a couple of bad seasons, but with this franchise, who would know?
While he was here, he was pretty much a great teammate, leader, and friend to the community. He felt he was disrespected by the franchise and he mouthed off. Ok, he's human. He's had some bad luck with injuries and the RB Market vs the timing of his contract. He also had bad luck getting drafted here.
