re: do you want dual-threat or drop back QB?

Dual threat versus Drop back is a false distinction.

If a player is a true dual threat then of course you want that. Who says I only want a player that does only one aspect of his position well.

Aaron Rogers is one of the most accurate quarterbacks we have seen in a while. . .but what makes him other-wordly is his ability to extend when the play breaks down. Tom Brady has been incredible for the Pats. . .but you don't think they wish he had wheels against the Giants in the Super Bowl a few years back?


This thread seems to imply that we had the choice the last few years between a true dual threat and a drop back passer. That is not correct.

Also, it is easier to find a game-manager (which is just another way of saying average) than a true dual-threat.

The beauty of the game-manager is that when their teams win they get overrated because their mistakes weren't costly (See M. Mauck national championship game or G. McElroy national championship game)
