The problem is that most dual threat QB's are not very accurate or reliable.

I'd rather have someone capable of making the throws and controlling the game at QB.

You want someone who can move the ball. Period. And recent successful dual threat QBs (college level) have been at or near the top in passing efficiency--including Dak, JFF, RG3, Russell Wilson, and Cam Newton. Average or subpar dual threats aren't very accurate, just as average or subpar pro-styles aren't very accurate.

People seem to think that recruiting a "pro-style" QB automatically means he can make the throws, read the defense and control the game.

These QB recruits are basically a crapshoot. Yeah scouting services, etc, can usually tell you which ones are likelier going to be better, but getting a guy that can make all the throws, move the ball, etc. is not as easy as just getting a "pro-style" qb.
