Barkley is flat out amazing. This is blasphemy, and I never thought I'd say this...but he is the closest thing to Barry since.
Always laughed at people who said Reggie Bush or LeSean McCoy were Barry-like. Those guys weren't even remotely close. Barkley actually is. And in the era where they can't hit like they used to be able to and defenses are playing 5 or 6 DB's all game long because everything is spread out- he is going to put up crazy numbers in this NFL as long as he stays healthy. And with his style, he should last longer than a guy like Adrian Peterson did. Peterson sought out contact, didn't really make people miss, was more of a punisher.
