All of the athleticism with a much better mind and feel for the position.

I wasn't saying his ceiling was higher solely because of the arm strength. But Kaepernick has all the tools to be the best QB in the NFL. It'll likely never happen but he has the tools. And I am also not saying Mariota isn't a better prospect because he clearly is. He has the arm strength, I was simply saying I don't think he has the same ceiling as Kaep.
If I had to bet though, Mariota will be better than Kaepernick.
