Apparently his talent has offended him. He doesn't like that being black automatically makes people think he is a dual threat. He rushed for over 1000k yards last year and threw for over 4K. That is as dual threat as it gets.

What's wrong with this kid? He is the top QB prospect going into this year. He will have every NFL team watching him at the combine and pro day. Can be a top 5 pick in the draft.


Why is he complaining about the fact he can run and throw?

The one thing I learned early on as a football player is people have their opinions, and I can’t change them. But I can show them what they’re missing.”

Is he retarded? He has no idea why he's considered a dual threat quarterback? None?

Yea, I don't understand.

Andrew Luck is what I'd consider a dual threat. I don't just think of a guy like Newton. Russell Wilson is a dual threat, he's basically white.

Who the hell for him to tell people how to think? If I want to think that kickers are shite tacklers, that's my pregogative. I think some athletes get full of themselves when they reach fame at certain level.

Dude has certainty showed his "mental toughness" with such a statement. "Oh, I care what people think of me...and certain things bother me emotionally".

The article I read had quotes from him where he was complaining of being tagged ad dual threat, which was defined at the beginning of the article as a run first QB. I don't think run first QB and dual treat are necessarily the same.

Watson is not a run first QB, but he is a dual threat QB.

Guess the argument can be said, as a qb you want to be known for your passing abilities.

Being called a dual threat could be considered an insult to some, as Watson is a pretty good Passer.

This. He wants to be known as a passer. Traditionally that's what gets you drafted and paid in the NFL. One of his first plays at Clemson was a 30yd dart for a TD at UGA. Amazing pass. Dabo just threw him in for one play. Yet all the talking heads bring up his legs in the following games that season.
