What do you consider a 4 star QB? Who are some of those?
Romo
Flacco
Kap
Alex
Eli
Tannenhill(sp)
Dalton
Rivers
Foles
Newton
Bold are, the rest are one level down.
reported for inciting.
confession is good for the soul
Only in an Alex thread where you'll find Romo, Rivers, and Alex ranked higher than Kaep who has won more playoff games than probably all 3 combined, but hey.. if that makes you guys feel better. lol
It isn't about the number of games won, it is about the overall level of play. In just about every article you read, and throughout the Kaepernick thread here, the constant comment is about how he must improve his ability to read defenses, go through progressions and get the ball to the open receiver. You don't hear that criticism of Romo, Rivers and Smith. Yes, he has excellent athleticism and has made some highlight runs but that is not what a QB is primarily tasked to do. The arrow was flat for Kaepernick this season as far as his personal level of play. So while we are all excited about his potential, reality says he has not yet reached that potential. It is fair to say that this very talented team has carried Kaepernick as much or more than he has carried the team.
What you read is that Romo, while having committed some obvious mistakes, is still the reason Dallas is in many games anyway. Without him, the Cowboys are junk.
This year Rivers returned to Pro Bowl form with a great season. He has always had great command of the offense. Only Peyton Manning makes more adjustments at the LOS than Rivers. He was, along with a healthy Ryan Matthews, the reason the Chargers went as far as they did in the playoffs. He was the guy that made the difference.
Smith's story has been well-documented here.
Just face it man, all the QBs you listed are highly valuable to their respective teams, and their team will probably suck without them. However one thing you can't overlook is the years of experience the rest of those ^^^ guys (in bold) have over Kaep, and the fact that they've also had the chance to play on "talented" teams....and STILL they've failed to deliver in the post-season.
Sure Kaep is developing his progression skills, and he carried the team in the post-season by relying on his legs, but does that not count?! It's hilarious, you're not amazed.
I wonder what Kaep will be once he has put in the same years as Romo/Smith/Rivers.
Just think about that, and then you will realize how ridiculous the "bolded" are. lol
We all wonder the same thing and hope he is better than all three of them, in the meantime, his legs are his greatest asset, not his passing game. When his passing game reaches the same level as his running, then writers and fans will stop wondering about when he will fill in the mental parts of his game.
My comment is all about the PRESENT comparison, not what we hope will happen.
Ok then, let's talk about the present.
The path the Niners took in the playoffs this year, you think Smith/Romo/Rivers would have stood a chance had they faced the same road (@GB, @Carolina, @Seattle)??!??!!?!? I bet all 3 would've folded like a piece of paper (like they do every year).
JUST BECAUSE those 3 are more versed with going through their progressions you rank them above Kaep, and I find that laughable.
QB's imo, are measured by "signature wins" when it matters most, regardless of how they do it. And Kaep already has more signature wins than those three!
