What young QB would you start a franchise with?

         When you think of young Quarterbacks, the four obvious picks that would come to mind would be Russel Wilson, Robert Griffin III, Andrew Luck and Colin Kaepernick. The real question is, who would you start a franchise with at this point in time? 

    Russell Wilson standing at 5'11,is a great young Quarterback. Russell Wilson has gotten off to a great start in the NFL. 3rd round 75th draft pick out of the University of Wisconsin expected to do nothing broke Peyton Manning's record with 26 touchdowns in a rookie season and an impressive amount of yards with 3118. Along with that, Russel Wilson also led the Seahawks to the NFC title game beating fellow rookie quarterback Robert Griffin III then losing to the later superbowl champions Baltimore Ravens. 

    Robert Griffin III, 2nd pick in the 2012 NFL Draft got off to a fast start with the Washington Redskins. In just his first game he threw for 320 yards and completing 73.1% of his passes throwing 19 for 26. Some thought this was just a one time thing but they were very much mistaken. On the year, RG3 threw for 3200 yards and 20 touchdowns and completed 65.6% of his passes. Not only that Washington  Redskins made a playoff run losing in the NFC Semi-Finals to the Seattle Seahawks. 
    Andrew Luck, 1st pick in the 2012 NFL Draft by the Indianapolis Colts. In that time, the Colts 12x Pro-Bowler Peyton Manning just coming off of a neck injury signed with the Broncos leaving the Colts in need of a fresh start. What better of a start could you think of then getting the once in a decade type player Andrew Luck with the first pick. In Andrew Lucks rookie season, he threw for 4,734 yards, had 23 touchdowns and he completed 54.1% of his passes. Andrew Luck just couldn't get it done in the postseason, in his debut in the playoffs the Luck was not in his favor where he threw no touchdowns and the Ravens Won 24-9. 

    Colin Kaepernick, the Cinderella story of football this year. second round 36th pick out of the University of Nevada Wolf Pack  Colin Kaepernick never played in a NFL game before. Taking former number 1 overall pick Alex Smith's place in the middle of the 49ers season Kaepernick took off from there completely replacing Alex Smith who was able to play the game after Kaepernick became a sensation. Since Kaepernick hadn't played until the middle of the season, his stats aren't as impressive as his other fellow rookies. Recording 10 touchdowns and 1,814 yards, still impressive, but if able to play the whole season could've thrown for 3,628 yards and 20 touchdowns. Also with Colin Kaepernick, he took the 49ers and brought them all the way to the Super Bowl clearly farther then any other of his fellow rookie quarterbacks. 
    Personally, for my decision it was a very tough decision deciding what rookie quarterback I would begin a franchise with. Ultimately, I came out with the decision of Andrew Luck, the quarterback for the Indianapolis Colts. Andrew Luck can do whatever you want. Comparing him to other rookie quarterbacks, he could simply just do more. He can go coast to coast, which all young rookie quarterbacks can do but Luck showed the more impressive yardage with 4,734. Also, eliminating Russel Wilson from this conversation would be you don't have to worry about him rushing for 30 yards against your defense which Luck, RG3, and Kaepernick can do. Eliminating Robert Griffin III for me would have to be that he is hurt right now and we don't know if we'll see the same RG3 we did last year. Now with eliminating Colin Kaepernick from this discussion, he had the best team out of all these young quarterbacks and still does. Andrew Luck was able to take a 1-15 team and give them a record over 500. This is why Andrew Luck comes out on top.
