Honest question to the Nation, Cam Newton or Colin Kaepernick

Raider Nation I as many am very excited about this upcoming draft and 2011-12 season. I am very ecstatic about the moves we've made both coaching and personal wise. The Seymour, Wimbley, and Miller news all have me optimistic. I am 50/50 on Nnamdi but Al has never been shy with his checkbook and I feel if we have to go over the cap, he'll have no problem paying the fines.

But my real question is, if we had a choice between these two qb's, Cam Newton or Colin Kaepernick, who would you take? Lets say we trade up with New England at the 28th or 33rd pick and Newton is still there, would you snag him? And let him sit 2 years and learn from his close friend JC and coach Hue and coach Saunders, and maybe reach that potential?

Or would you stand pat and try to snag Kaepernick, both are about 2 years from starting and must learn from a vet and good QB development coaches, such as Hue and Al Saunders.

Both are big athletic guys with good arms which we know Al loves. Please be honest with your opinion, and dont base it off of what we would have to give up to trade up to snag either. Just honesty player or player.

Thanks
