I think Kaepernick's resume is accomplished enough to deserve a spot at 4. He's had some impressive road playoff wins so early in his career and is definitely more battle tested than Luck or even Rivers. He's already beaten Rodgers twice in the playoffs. Being down 17 last year at ATL in the championship game and somehow pulling that one out was unreal. Kaepernick's drive at the end of the game last night was a work of art because it left no time for Rodgers. I don't look as Kaepernick as a "running" qb either, he's just as dangerous throwing it as running, unlike RG3 or Vick.
Luck has the highest ceiling for potential of any qb on this list, and in 3 years he could be the best qb in the NFL. But for now, he needs to at least get to an AFCCG or beat Brady/Manning in the playoffs to be higher on this list.
Also, I don't know why people would rank the Chargers defense as worse than the Broncos.

Kaepernick is not better than Luck or Rivers. His last drive was a "work of art"? He threw an INT that was dropped, and benefited from a terrible GB defense that messed up several more times. He's average at best, and is above average at running it. He has an extremely talented team around him. Their backup QB McCoy could win 8-10 games with them.
Man I think Rivers is way overrated on this board.
I think he's an improved mark sanchez, this year he's playing much better though.

I view Rivers as a stat accumulator who doesn't get his team the points that are consistent with the stats, ie best between the 20s or in garbage time. I also see him as having been a major part of a team that has dramatically and consistently underachieved and him as one of the main reasons.I look at his couple of seasons as anomalies rather than the norm. It seemed as if he was not healthy at all and his performance reflected that in 2011 and 2012. Now it seems as if he's healthy again and throwing better, back to where he was 2008-10.
