Mobile QBs always have a good 1st year, because they bring the unexpected. Defenses adjust, and mitigate the damage. Its not like the 49ers werent making the playoffs with Alex Smith, or the Seahawks with Matt Flynn

Maybe the Seahawks wouldn't have made it without RW. IMO he was the best of the 1st year rookies. He can run but would prefer to beat you with his arm. Throwing Tebow into your argument is moot as noone considers him a QB that can win with his arm in the NFL. Mike Vick may be a poster child of a guy who never developed the mental aspects of the game @ QB, though, and relies upon his feet too frequently. Kaepernick and Wilson might have very good careers as they demonstrate good overall position awareness and their feet can help get them out of bad plays. The 9ers staff have raved about K's football smarts, as did Wilson's coaches at NCSU, Wisconsin, and Seattle, he is a sharp guy. RG3 will not make it if he continues to run with the same frequency as this year, but he is another player with a good mind and would benefit from better players around him.
