    Kaepernick is an exciting player to watch. It's no different from the RGIII worship we heard all season.

    He is better than Joe, more clutch than Joe, more of a leader than Joe is.
    Basically they are calling out Flacco again, and again, on the basis of less than a year playing.
    Sickening, really.

    Agreed. He's a gimmick that the media is in love with....just like Vick and RG3. Running QB's ..... where are they now?
    Superman wears Flacco PJ's to bed!....

    Next to Ray and the Harbaughs, he's the biggest story of the Super Bowl so all of the attention is to be expected.

    The shows are covering about 60% 49ers, 20% Ravens, and 20% everything else.

    I like it because it keeps the Ravens as a Vegas underdog and that means more payoff on my bets. :-)

    Totally agree. This "new-age" QB talk is a lot of crap. Running QBs will eventually get hurt in the NFL, it is just a matter of time. The speed of the game in the NFL is so much faster than in college, that gimmick offenses that work in college have a limited shelf life in the NFL. I fully expect the Ravens to drill Kaepernick very hard every chance they get. Cam Newton can get away with running, because he is basically a linebacker playing QB. Guys like RGIII and Kaepernick aren't that big and will not be as durable. They can use their mobility to buy time to throw, but will have to pass the ball effectively to be successful.

    I would not be the least bit surprised if the "new-age" QB, as you put it, is here to stay. With the rules in the NFL changing and the focus on injuries and the violence of the sports, it is not out of the realm of possibility that these kind of quarterbacks are going to be more and more protected by rules changes. Guys like RG3, Kaepernick, etc., bring a level of excitement to the game that a lot of fans like. Goodell & Co. can certainly see how that popularity is a good thing and will continue to make adjustments to the rules accordingly. Bernard Pollard is right - the NFL is changing. You might as well get used to it.

    How can the league protect them if they run out of the pocket? If the QB slides, he is protected, but if they are running and trying to gain more yardage, they are going to get hit like any RB gets hit. I agree with you that the NFL will like to have more running QBs to add to the excitement of the game, but it is going to be tough to keep them healthy. Instead of going for head shots, defenders are going to adjust and just take out the knees of runners, which could actually lead to more injuries.

    Re: Kaeperneck.....really?

    Who has he played?

    CHI - good D, but went up against Campbell at QB (turnover machine)
    NO - horrible D
    Rams - not very good
    Dolphins - bad team
    Patriots - not a top D, plus that game was a rainy mess I think
    Seahawks - SF got crushed 42-13, great D
    Cards - bad team, good D
    Packers - not a good D
    Atlanta - not a good D

    He has never passed for over 300 yards (his running ability and Gore probably have a lot to do with that though). His arm does look like a cannon though.

    I mainly hate how the media is acting as if he was the sole reason for the success of the 49ers, completely ignoring the fact that their Defense was one of the best in the league (even though they have looked shaky as of late).

    I think the league is going to continue to change the rules towards protection to the point that it won't be so risky for these guys to run more. As big and fast as some of them are now, they are turning into throwing running backs. The casual fan likes it, and the league will change rules to protect that.
