Quick QB Comparison for Kaepernick

I was just watching the Top 100 of 2011 on the NFLN and McNabb was #100. I started to think to myself. There haven't been many, if any, comparisons for Kaepernick to anyone. So as I watched this, and looked at the college stats. The similarities are pretty darn close, but you make your own decision on this. I just wanted to do a quick comparison.

Kaepernick doesn’t have an Andy Reid to inflate his stats here, so hopefully, this comparison is off.

Harbaugh can turn any QB into a great one. He's a QB guru, even if he's only been a head coach at the college ranks.

McNab was a beast at Syracuse

But Kapernick still had way more rushing yards to go with the more passing yards

I've heard Randall Cunningham

I can see that one as well.

Kaepernick is too smart to be compared to McNabb

Which will be what makes the difference between him having the chance to be a big game player and him choking like McNabb in every big moment.

Gimme 1 round!

who's comparing smarts?

im comparing statistics and nothing more, but if you want to throw smarts in there, then i will have to go with Kaepernick on being the smarter one. I do believe he had a couple of come from behind wins while at Nevada & did it when it mattered most.

Not a bad comp

But really, this just makes me miss McNabb up here in NY…I’ve had ’Cuse season tickets since McNabb started playing and in his 4 years, there was nothing like it. Still waiting for the Dome to get back to rocking like it did in the McNabb days.
