D Styles made his post, so I was making a comment based on that, I will admit Kap's completion percentage is an issue, but arm talent belongs to either Cam or Kap, the knock on Luck was his arm strength, again the numbers show a different story when you compare all these dudes, plus Bouldin can't get open so Kap's only target is Vernon Davis, once he gets Manningham (or Nicks through a trade) I think Kap will look better than he does right now, again the media has been slurping up Luck and I just don't get the hype, he made a few comebacks and now he's in the Hall of Fame and a two time Super Bowl winner. Remember, Luck has a Hall of Fame receiver who is still playing at a high level, a very nice second year guy in Hilton, a former top ten pick as a number three in Bey, Luck's old TE from Standford who's pretty solid, a solid RB (not great but solid) and a few other decent RBs for rotational purposes, he has a lot of talent, this was not a 2-14 team when he got drafted, again I just think he's overrated right now.

Arm strength is not arm talent per se. Luck has the touch, vision, accuracy as well as enough arm strength to consistently make the throws. I think Kaepernick lacks vision under pressure and touch too since he rifles the ball in whenever he gets the chance. Matt Stafford is an example of a strong armed QB who puts touch on the ball yet still retains velocity. Kaepernick shows flashes and might mature into a great QB yet. I won't even comment on Cam because his throws often lack touch and vision all over the field. That's something he needs to work on.

I stay in Michigan, Stafford doesn't have touch. Luck's touch comes from his lack of arm strength, if you watch Luck, he doesn't go down field much, thats how all those INTs happened last year.
