5 NFL QBs who are currently better than Colin Kaepernick
Colin Kaepernick is reportedly still trying to make a comeback in the NFL. He is currently 34 years old and last played during the 2016 NFL season six years ago, when he struggled to a 1-10 record with the San Francisco 49ers.
His overall record as a starting quarterback sits at an even 32-32, and he has completed less than 60 percent of his career passes while throwing a mediocre 79 touchdowns against 35 interceptions. He started his career with an impressive 21-8 record but may have peaked early as he went just 11-24 from that point forward.
Colin Kaepernick is best known for being a dual-threat quarterback as he averages 460 rushing yards per season. Comparing him to other dual-threat quarterbacks as he tries to make his return prior to the 2022 NFL season, here are five current ones who are better than Kaepernick.
5 Current dual-threat NFL QBs who are better than Colin Kaepernick
#5 - Lamar Jackson, Baltimore Ravens

Jackson is also the better passer, completing five percent more of his career passes with eight more touchdowns in 11 fewer games. Jackson also has an impressive 38-15 overall record and has won an NFL MVP award.
#4 - Kyler Murray, Arizona Cardinals
Kyler Murray is one of the most dynamic quarterbacks in the NFL. His rushing abilities are lethal with an efficient arm in the passing game to match. He averages just under 600 rushing yards and seven rushing touchdowns per season, while completing 67 percent of his career passes.
Murray is also showing steady improvements as a passer. Each year, he has been in the NFL, he has improved his completion percentage, as well as his touchdown-to-interception ratio. His numbers are already better than Colin Kaepernick's, and he's probably still getting better.
