I always knew that RGIII and Kaepernick were not going to last. Every ten years or so we get told by the NFL that [Young Running QB X] IS TOTALLY GOING TO CHANGE THE POSITION FOREVAH!!11! and they always either flameout or get injured.

It's a drop-back passing game in the pros and it always will be. The cutesy college offenses might work for a year or so, but the defense always figures them out. Even at the most recent high-water mark for mobile read-option QBs, 2012, guess who won the Super Bowl? Joe Flacco, an extremely typical, pro-style, dropback passer.

Even Russell Wilson--who I really like--can only do what he does because of Seattle's beast of a defense, and because he's smart enough to know when to run out of bounds. I think if he was drafted by you guys in '12 your situation today wouldn't be much different.
