Does Canada's offense require a dual threat QB, pro style, hybrid?

Of the QB's on the squad (as well as incoming Brennan) who fits his scheme best?

You new here? Canadas calling card is the ability to build an offense around his players. His big thing was- give me the best players and I'll score points with them.

Canada's offense can run through any style of QB because he makes adjustments depending on the player's strengths and weaknesses.

As the posters above me stated, Canada has stated numerous times that he adapts his offense to the skillset of his players. He doesn't have a predetermined system, which is what I like about him. Whichever QB we go with, he'll tailor the offense to fit his skills.

I believe what he wants is an accurate passer. Somebody who can hit a receiver in the hands, whether the QB is in the pocket or on the move.
Our current crop struggles with this most basic skill. Brandon Harris was pitiful at it. Etling is good at it only occasionally. I haven't seen the others in action, but I understand a couple of them have a hard time hitting the side of a barn.

Whoever is best Canada will fit the offense around him.

Strong, accurate arm...everything falls into place after that.
We have to throw the ball downfield with accuracy. We must be able to convert key 3rd and 5-8 yd down and distances to move the chains, win the TOP/field pos stat (rest DEF), and FINISH drives with points.
Give me the qb who can do that, with the poise to run our OFF by getting the OFF play in, team lined-up to execute, and ball to our play-makers....and we'll have a very successful season.

While his system adapts to players strengths, I think timing will always be important. If a QB can't throw the timing routes, they're going to struggle.
The best chance to win is to have a pro style QB unless you have a beast of a man playing like Cam Newton.

Doesn't dual threat and hybrid kindof mean the same thing?
Posted on 4/26/17 at 9:28 am to The Mick
Yes

I dont know. I do think that O wants a pro style guy.

You guys think of things too much in terms of black and white (no pun intended)
The fact is that a true dual threat is ideal for any system

Disappointed in Canada so far.

The one thing that a true QB must be able to do regardless of style is deliver the ball where it needs to be. It doesn't matter if the QB is sitting in the pocket and asked to throw the majority of the time or he is part of a read option and has to run or hand off most of the time. At some point QBs have to be able to pass with accuracy. This is why Canada can build a system around either type of QB and play to the strengths they have. The better they are able to throw the better the offense will look.
