Yep.

The guy had me scratching my head for a bit. The guy had (has) a live arm. But it was all off that read option shit. When a big part of the offense is based on the QB running, all NFL D's will beat the dog shit out of the passer. Kap (in Tank speak) is a big thing in the open field. But you contain him in the pocket, he is mediocre. Kaepernick , RGIII, Tebow, & the other guys that lived off read option all died a pretty quick death.

Russel Wilson started out in similar vein, but soon learned he had to be an effective pocket passer to survive in the NFL. Russ did it and is still an good player. The others are all looking for a home.
