I can't remember a time when Stanford had as much raw running back talent as they do right now.  Barry could and would start at a lot of schools (and most years in Stanford's past), and rack up plenty of yardage.  And he's a class act.  Reminds me of watching Steve Young sit on the bench behind Montana -- the whole time you knew that someday he'd get his chance...

I don't necessarily disagree, except with the comparison to Steve Young (a hall of famer sitting behind a hall of famer is a bit of a stretch).  But Barry wasn't getting many touches last year or the year before either.  If he was an NFL talent, you don't think the coaching staff would get him on the field for a single carry against UO or ND?  More directly, what do you see in him that suggests NFL ability?  I don't mean to be harsh, but if his name was John Doe RB, I think we'd all see a RB who gets three yards when the play is blocked for three yards and 25 when it is blocked for 25.  Seeing the incredible burst of Love and the burst, elusiveness and tough running through contact of McCaffrey just puts this even more into focus in my eyes.
