With dual threat quarterbacks being all the rage these days its funny that one of the most unathletic quarterbacks to ever play the game just broke the all time NFL record for career TD passes tonight.
An the QB that followed him, won the NC at Tenn, a duel threat QB. Oh, Tee Martin is the WR coach at USCw........FYI.
It seems the dual threat can get you a national championship, but won't get you a Super Bowl ring. Unless you count Russell Wilson as a dual threat.
Wilson is the perfect dual threat QB. He is a pocket passer first and foremost. He will run only when he has to. Which makes him that much more dangerous. I think the running dual threat is better suited for college. I think LSU can have a lot of success, we just need one to mature. Both are still young. I think the issue is LSU is stuck between being a ground and pound, power team that traditionally has a drop back passer. With QB's who are right now better suited for a more spread option like system. That falls on coaching, you have to coach to your personnel.
He can throw the ball. As I said earlier 99.9 percent of "dual threat" quarterbacks are shitty in the passing game, and the term dual threat really only means that this person playing quarterback is a running back. Wilson is really the only dual threat qb that can beat you with his arm. The thing about Wilson is if you take his legs away he can still beat you. NO other "dual threat" qb can do that, so he really doesn't fit the mold even though he represents the actual term better than any other.
I was talking about the transition to the pro game. Yes the Tebows, the Newton's, Martin's, Winston's can win you a national championship, can they win a Super Bowl. You can point to Russell Wilson, but he is the only one I can remember that can beat you with his arm if his legs were not effective.
