those are the guys I would rank ahead of Kaep, right now.
14th sounds about right, RIGHT NOW.
First, Kaepernick has a higher QB Rating than Stafford, Luck, Flacco, Eli Manning, Rothlesberger and Brees, so I'm not sure right off the bat why this person would rate them higher.
Secondly, if you take into account the fact that Kaepernick was thrown into the mix cold right in the middle of the season and factor in that his first 10 starts were spectacularly better than ANYONE on the list, you have to give Kaepernick some points for that.
Third, at 8.32 yards per pass, Kaepernick is actually at the top of that list - he did better than ANY of them in that catagory.
Fourth, only three QB's on that list have a better TD to Int rating, Rodgers, Peyton and Brady.
Bottom line: maybe BlueFalcon has a problem with tattoos.
