Andrew Luck.

(at least I hope so...)

I am of the opinion that Kaepernick had a one off season.

RG3 will be great for years, if he can stay healthy.

I was *really* impressed with Russell Wilson last year.

"Scramblers" are always a crap shoot though, and I'm not talking about those with the ability to scramble (the John Elways and Steve Youngs), but those whose offense is designed around that ability (the Michael Vicks and Vince Youngs).

I think all three will be good for years to come. Kaepernick has the best arm out of the three if that means anything. He is also the biggest of the three which should in theory keep him more durable.

Kaepernick isn't Vick. He's a passer first with an insane ability to run.

This.

Andrew Luck

Seriously though, what kind of question is this? How can you not include Luck and Russell Wilson in this discussion? Copper Dick and RGInjury aren't the be all end all.

For a long term career, Andrew Luck. The hits Kap and even more so RG3 take in the designed offenses are going to curtail their careers.

Definitely not RG3. He injured his knee once in college, injured it again in the pros, then came back too early and reinjured. I'm not sure if he can reinvent his game in time to save that knee.

What would you rank P. Manning in overall FF QB's this year? Before/after Brady?

Rodgers
Bree's
......

Line gets fuzzy then, new school/old school, Brady, Manning, Stafford, last year rookies?

Russell Wilson.

No doubt, Russell Wilson is an insane scrambler. A bonafide Houdini. But from my limited viewings, it seems like a lot of his completions were due to WR skill/luck rather than his own skill, whereas Kaep seems to be able to put the ball exactly where he wants it, even on the run.

No. If anyone has benefited from team skill/luck it was Kap. 20 different qbs take SF to the playoffs. There might have been 5 that could have taken Seattle to the playoffs.

I'm talking specifically about QB skill, not who is or isn't responsible for a playoff run.

Luck got hit the most of any QB last year. Yes, his OL is mostly to blame, but still thats a shit ton of hits.

RG3, if he continues to take hits while scrambling, will not last long. At least Kaepernick has the sense to either slide or get out of bounds before getting popped. Of the two, give me Kaepernick.
