Michael Vick, Vince Young, Jake Locker, Johnny Manziel. They are too inconsistent and don't make enough plays with their legs to compensate.

Kapernick has the luxury of having a fantastic defense.

No NFL team wants a QB that can't throw accurately. So he's right unless Taysom

No QB is athletic enough to be a runnning QB in the NFL

First, that's not a bad list of QBs to be compared to.

Just an opinion, no scientific data.

Taysom is more athletic than any of those guys. I'd say only Michael Vick

I don't think too many scouts missed on Steve Young out of college.

She should state that he has too much character to be a Raven for sure.

Taysom has very slim chance of playing QB in the NFL

I think Joe Flacco has worked out pretty well for them. He's won a Super Bowl.
