After watching about an hour and half of film on Anthony Jennings i was extremely surprised how people say he is mostly just a running qb. The guy has a beautiful throwing motion(reminds me of Chris Leak) and awesome anticipation. i realize that dual threat means he can do both but this guy should be classified as a pocet passer that can run a 4.4!! maybe 4.5, 4.6 idk, still very quick.

Those people obviously didn't watch his film, instead they looked at the color of his skin and assumed he must be a dual-threat.

Most people realize he's not just a running QB

Actually, everybody pretty much agrees that he has a great arm with great touch.. that just so happens to be pretty quick when running the ball

Who says this? Seriously in every thread about him, most people talk about how hes not a only running QB.

Who are you talking to that says this?

The people who look on rivals and ESPN and saw "dual threat QB" without ever watching anything on him. The people who have seen film on him have all said repeatedly this past year he is a pro-style QB with great mobility. Not a dual-threat "i cant pass" guy.

If they think he is a dual threat then they didn't watch him at all. He has "escapability". He CAN make a play on his feet. He can avoid the rush.

But so can drew brees. Doesn't make brees a duel threat.

Jennings is a great passer and has great awareness and decision making. People need to stop just assuming that bc someone can make plays w their feet when they need to that they're dual threat.

This kid really reminds me a lot of Russell Wilson, the ability to move in the pocket take off and run if necessary, but also the throwing motion is very similar and both seem to have a great head on their shoulders.

Everything I've read on Jennings indicates that he's a passer first and only runs when his pocket breaks down. His strong arm is his greatest attribute.
