Back to Help me see why Thielen > Barkley (Overdrive)

Single thread,

I am a Barkley user.  I will admit using Barkley does hamper your one play TD ability compared to other captains. Barkley users are restricted to short pass players for 70 percent of the match which is the biggest downside to using Barkley.  I have found certain short pass plays (total of 4) that have one play TD ability.  However, only one of the routes will allow for one play TD...while the other 3 to 4 routs are not which is why it's tough compared to long pass plays which has 2 to 3 one play TD routes (hence why hailmary and 4 verts is so popular).  

At this point I am still sticking with Barkley mainly because I find that often your in a situation that requires you to do a quick short pass near the endzone to get the TD (happens 3 to 4 times or more per match).  This actually cuts in half the need using short pass plays as a long bomb single play TD.  Since the other situations require you to use short pass plays near the endzone.  Once I hit my captain bonus I unleash 3 to 4 long pass or PA plays.
