Quote:Point has been made. he's not

Guys like Kapernick and Russel Wilson were amazing collegiate QBs, but their draft-status was hurt by lack of publicity and prime-time spotlight at a small school for Kap, and presumed size issues for Wilson.

 

Thomas on the other hand, as many have mentioned in the thread, was a terrible collegiate QB. Not even in the top 30 of QBs this past year. To think he can hang with the NFL competition, when he couldn't even muster good play in the ACC conference, is dreaming a bit too much.  

 

The other thing that hurt Kaep was the offense.  While productive it was very unique and probably made him harder to evaluate.  I remember one season Nevada had three guys, including Kaep, run for over 1000 yards!  I think his Nevada teams were routinely running for +4,000 yards each season.  He just wasnt asked to sling the ball around as much as other top prospects.  He was just a big raw athlete.

 

I dont really like the comparison to Logan Thomas.  He is also a big guy and athletic but thats where the comparison ends.  Their body types are different.  Kaep was extremely productive in college while Thomas hasnt been.  Thomas throws a ton of picks.  His comp% is lousy.  He was a prospect everyone knew about and loved after his freshman year.  But he never got better and his stock has dropped with each passing season.
