The 3, young pistol QBs who can also throw well.

So, assuming RG3 comes back healthy, which of these 3 would you prefer going forward and why?

I'll take Andrew Luck

If RG3 truly comes back the same once he's fully healed, I'd take him. I think he represents the best chance to transition into more of a pure pocket passer once some of his physical skills decline a bit. There's also the fact that I just love the kid, he's a phenomenal person it seems.

In addition to the speed of some of these guys eventually declining, defenses will also figure this out sooner or later. So again, RG3 is my guy. He's just the best all around, IMO.

Just from a size and ability standpoint I like Kaep. And I don't think he runs as dangerously as RG3 does. Jury is way out on this one. But yeah, I'd pick Kaep right now.

I lean towards Kaepernick because right now I can't totally discount Griffin's injury. Due to his height, Wilson will probably never be able to be a pocket passer, which defenses will probably try to force him to be. For coming up short, Kaepernick played a great game last night. I only remember 2 truly bad attempts.....Ed's pick, and a sideline pass he was late on and almost had picked by Williams. I guess you could also say on the final pass if the ball had come down closer to the boundary, or in bounds, that SF might have gotten the call.

Weren't those passes consecutive too? AND the 2 plays immediately after the fumble?

That blackout couldn't have happened at a better time for Kaep, he was shook.

He's got a strong arm, and was making some great throws all night, but made a couple bad decisions here and there, expected out of a young QB though. This whole "RG3 runs recklessly" thing is so overplayed though, like it's the cool thing to say. After game 3 he started going out of bounds instead of trying for 3-4 extra yards, aside from that there is nothing "reckless" about his running style. He runs on designed plays on the edge, and he runs to avoid getting sacked. If he had a better OL he would have run a lot less than he did this year, our OL was pretty bad, but people look past it because RG3 avoided a lot of sacks on his own, and Morris ran so well in spite of it.
