LSU doesn't ever use them right. Seems like every other college knows how to use them. JJ was a bust. Jennings isn't looking good. Then we have Harris who isn't starting and should be. We recruited R'S and he never threw a pass. I think we should stick to a pro style qb as long as Miles is calling the shots. Last year was a treat. Heck, even Flynn looked decent. :inb4racistposts:

You do realize that JJ was a top 10 Pro-style quarterback coming out of high school correct?

I'm not sure if I totally agree with you, but I'm always skeptical how effective a dual threat QB can be.

HOWEVER, the one thing about Mett's game that always drove me nuts was his cement feet. Having a mobile QB isn't a bad thing.

yea you don't put a dual threat guy under center 80% of the time. But from all accounts Harris wasn't truly a dual threat in HS. He preferred to throw the ball but got the Dual label because of his athleticism. Labels DT and Pocket Passer aren't always true

We tried to get Kiel. It didn't work.

Doesn't matter what style QB you recruit. Only matters if they can fit into your scheme.

Jennings does not scream dual threat.

I'd take J. Winston (just give him free crab legs), Johnny Football, and any of the current or past Oregon QB's all day long. We have struck out on recruiting so far.

I have the want to see Harris (Dual) play at least 50% of the next game. If he is lights out, he should be the starter. We need the stronger arm and i think his mobility is better. The plays are scripted i don't see Jennings making any audibles at the line of scrimmage. I know what play is coming and i am a 9 year old girl.

My understanding was that Jennings isn't a true duel threat guy. He was recruited as a mobile pocket passer.

You had Hayden Rettig and Miles got rid of him

Flynn was a dual threat quarterback.
