It seems as though the article should have been titled "The NFL's 10 best running QBs".
On that score, their list wasn't too far off.
But if you consider "scrambling" to be the ability to make something out of a broken play, I think RW has to be top three, if not #1.
Certainly, Kaepernick has shown the ability to "scramble" for some huge runs, while Wilson, when he runs, is mostly just going for positive yardage or first downs. But in terms of keeping the play alive for a possible completion, I don't think it's much of a competition.
Of course, it's much harder to quantify the ability to keep the play alive, which is why the article focuses so heavily on QB rushing stats.
What say? Is Kaepernick or Newton better at keeping the play alive?
