Is Matt Barkley the right quarterback to lead the USC Trojans football team?

True freshman Matt Barkley was selected to be the starting quarterback for the USC Trojans football team for the 2009 season.

Seeing as how he is a true freshman, is he ready for the college ranks?

One of the biggest factors that most people would argue is that Matt Barkley does not have the experience of playing in the college ranks. But time and time again, Head Coach Pete Carroll and QB coach Jeremy Bates have exercised great wisdom in choosing their starting quarterbacks. Great QBs and Heisman candidates and winners continue to emerge from USC, and I have no doubt that Matt Barkley is of the same caliber as those Caroll has previously chosen.

“I couldn’t be more proud of this guy and what he’s done to position himself for this,” Carroll said. “Of course he’s got a lot of new stuff to learn, but you couldn’t do more than what he did. … He’s not a typical freshman. He hasn’t acted in any way like anybody else we’ve had in here. Hopefully we can play well around him, and the guys are going to rally around him.”

I believe he and the rest of the USC line up will bring a very difficult challenge against those in the Pac-10 as well those they play in the BCS.

Coach Pete Carroll says Barkley is mature beyond his years and knowing Carroll's track record as a coach and the success Southern California has had, I believe Barkley must be the best QB on the team. If he proves he isn't ready, Carroll will make the necessary changes before Barkley's ineffectiveness ruins the season for the Spartans.
