The one problem that I have with Kapernick is that QBs that play that style and run a lot often get injured and have shortened careers. Look at what happened to RG3.

Yes, four of the five are now out of the playoffs this year, but I still stand by my list. These five have consistently been in the playoffs every year for several years. These five have done it over many years. Like I say, there are these five and then there are all the rest.
Yes your list is right on for current QB's. I just had to pick on you for your timing right before two of them went down in flames.

They've proven themselves over the long haul and deserve to be on the list. Just didn't get it done this year. You've got to admit these new young guns/rushers are very exciting to watch, but you're right no one can take a NFL beating for more than a couple of years, ie Michael Vick. Let's see if Wilson's similar style can get it done today. Most franchises are willing to sacrifice a QB's health for a run at the super bowl. One and done is fine with them if it brings them a ring.
