[QUOTE="texaspackerbacker, post: 495223, member: 25"] I'd like to hear some opinions about this. Unlike most things, I don't have a strong feeling one way or the other. Is the game fundamentally changing with the advent of extreme running QBs? Aaron Rodgers has done a super job throwing the ball, but up until last season, he was arguably the best, maybe only big time QB that could do the job running also. Yeah, there was Vick, but I'm discounting him as either an aberration or not really a big time QB. Then Griffin and Wilson came along, and rightly or wrongly, I kinda dismissed them as injuries waiting to happen/short career guys and basically defensible by scheme and an average amount of D talent. Similarly, when Kaepernick was a part-timer, I figured great runner but nothing as a passer. I think this whole trend started with teams noticing what the dimension of Rodgers running did for the Packers. Kaepernick came on and did what he did. So my question is: was it strictly a product of horrible Packer defense? Was it a one-shot aberration - he really ain't that good? Is Kaepernick in fact an injury waiting to happen/short career guy even though he seems a lot sturdier than Griffin or Wilson? Or is this the trend of things to come - everybody needs to get a guy like this or be left behind? And throw in one more question that is real heresy: who is better - Rodgers or Kaepernick - in terms of ability to win games? [/QUOTE]
