Well, everyone is entitled to an opinion. I have my own opinion on Colin Kaepernick, I'm not going to say what it is, because there is no point. I am simply pointing out how he is rated by experts, and sometimes I talk about specific plays that separate him from the pack. We also have a thread where we break down the film, that provides even further evidence.
Organizations such as Football Outsiders, ESPN, Pro Football Focus, who work very hard on putting rating systems together, rank him around #8 for this season.
Perhaps to make things more interesting, you could put together your own rating system, and see how the quarterbacks of the NFL rank out. You'll have to work very hard to get Kap near the bottom, without also getting the elite quarterbacks near the bottom. Then again, perhaps your system can be based upon how many rushing yards a quarterback averages, the more rushing yards the worse the quarterback. I'm sure there is a way to do it.
