I think 2012 may be looked back on as a transition year, and the 2012 draft as one with similarities to 83.

Wilson, Luck and RG3 will be staples for many years. Personally I think Wilson is the best QB of the three but Luck and RG3 get all the attention

Kaepernick has a breakout season.

Tannehill looks good.

Kirk Cousins will be a franchise QB for someone some day, maybe even Washington

That said, I think that RG3, Wilson and Kaepernick and Cam Newton will change QB'ing for a while.

I think the NFL option and variants such as the pistol and that triangle formation that 49ers have is here to stay because it is run to pass as much as run. The college triple option cannot work, but the NFL version run by Wilson, RG3 and Kaepernick is so hard to defend because they are such good passers. The wildcat, and college triple option was just to run and can be defended by blitzing and proper gap coverage. Do that against these 3 and they eat you alive in the pass.

Wilson today was unstoppable. He improves pretty dramatically each week it seems and he can beat you in every way possible. Yes he has Marshawn Lynch but I think he is the best pocket passer of the bunch, even over Luck and he kills you throwing on the run, keeping plays alive and running when needed.

Unfortunately none of these guys are on the Jets.
