Dual Threat QB at LSU with Canada's system

I bet Canada really prefers a dual threat QB. It expands what he can do as a play caller.

He would kill with a dual threat and a good o line, but even with danny’s issues, he’s still making him look like a competent QB

yep.

Despite what the rant says Canada's system is working to a degree, is confusing some of the D some of the time, and has been pretty good at setting up some big plays.

So with that in mind, I dream of a DT with him. And while tougher mentally on the OL (and everybody else) it could help them immensely.

One caveat: Canada is going to want a passer first. In other words he wants a QB that can run, not a runner who can pass. A simplistic, but for the most part accurate, way to look at it is he uses the pass to setup the run, but runs more than he passes.

Good point. The recruiting trip this weekend was huge for Bohanon. Hopefully the allure of Tiger Stadium stuck with him after that game.

40ppg last year at Pitt with a pocket passer. Canada doesn't want or need a duel threat QB Brennan will be perfect for his offense and Etling is just fine.

---

Justin Fields, Justin Rogers, and Jarren Williams (all dual threats) have been the staffs primary targets. They've offered both PP and DTs. It just seems like they have spent more recruiting efforts on Dual threat guys.

Who is the last dual threat QB he had?

Jacoby Brissett at NC State. LINK

Canada only at Pitt one year.

Danny is more of a dual threat than JJ, Harris, or that other guy we had was!

Im a Danny fan. But I disagree with this.

Yep it's Brissett and he was terrible in college. Compare his stats to Petersons or some of Canada's other pocket QBs and you'll see his offense is better with a traditional signal caller.

Terrible?? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacoby_Brissett

5200 yds passing in 2014 and 2015 43 TD 11 ints 800 yds rushing.

Canada at NCSTate

"In 2015, the Wolfpack averaged 412.8 yards per game -- the fifth-highest average in school history --despite losing leading rusher Matt Dayes (108.1 yards per game) to injury for the final five games. NC State led the Atlantic Coast Conference and ranked 11th nationally in time of possession (33:03).

In 2014, NC State racked up its highest rushing total since 1977 with 2,659 yards. The Wolfpack averaged 6.0 yards per offensive play, the second highest mark in school annals. Brissett thrived as a dual threat under Canada's watch in 2014 and 2015 as he combined to throw for 5,268 yards to go with 43 touchdowns. He also added nine rushing touchdowns during that span.

Brissett was one of just three Power 5 conference quarterbacks in 2014 with at least 2,000 passing yards, 300 rushing yards, 20 passing TDs and five (or fewer) interceptions. The others were Oregon Heisman Trophy winner Marcus Mariota and UCLA's Brett Hundley."

His QB rating was around 130 and his yardage and TDs were low for his volume of throws. Etling is more efficient and Petersons numbers blow him out of the water. Again compare his numbers to Canada's traditional QBs and you'll see his offense is more effective with the latter under center.

So we agree. There was nothing "Terrible" about Brissettes numbers. When you factor in his ability on the ground, it creates opportunities.

I do believe that Pitt was a better team overall last year compared the 2014 and 15 NCstate team. Much of what Peterman did is skewed by the high number of shovel passes thrown last year. It drives up the percentage, when in fact he didnt throw down field very much.
