D: Young and Upcoming
Kaepernick--most raw talent
Luck--most overall mental/physical conbination
Wilson--gamer
RGIII--thought he was a gamer...?
Newton--2nd most raw talent
Foles--can he do it again?
These are groupings, not rankings. The difference is that I have no idea who is the best but I see these guys as similar in their careers so far.
Kaepernick may become the best QB of all time but at the moment he is just a huge ball of amazing raw talent. It's up to his attitude and coaches to take the next step. He's smart enough, can he see the field well enough?
I like this approach! These categories make more sense than the rankings.
yeah i like a grouping/tiered system aswell, for both power rankings and positional rankings
