I wish we would stick to a more pro style offense. Never fails duel threat QBs just don't pan out throwing the ball accurately for a high percentage.
I know there are a few exceptions

What style do you prefer?

I don't know if AJ is going to turn out very good or not but frankly, I don't perceive him as a "dual threat" QB. A mobile QB? Yeah. But, he is really supposed to be considered a pro-style QB who can move. He hardly looks like a Nick Marshall type.

QB RANKS

Dual threats and mobile QBs outnumber the pocket passers by a lot.

I like big strong pocket passers, myself.

However, that kid from Oklahoma makes me jealous.

I don't have a preference, but with dual-threats I don't think accuracy is a huge necessity. Based on scheme with a running QB, receivers tend to get more open than in a pro style system. Pro style offenses require much more timing and precision, having to fit balls into tight windows and getting the pass off quicker. Dual threats scrambling abilities and threat of the run on sprint outs gives receivers more time to get open and forces DB's to cover longer.

I was a huge fan of this year's LSU offense and the success throwing out of run based formations. However, QB's with an arm like Mett don't come around that often and high schools all seem to be going toward a spread, dual threat QB system. It may be easier to find that type of QB nowadays.

Maybe we will see a two quarterback system with Jennings and Harris. Could be extremely beneficial rather than just one low percentage dual threat.

Like Russell & Randall.

Hmmmmm....

dual threat...a qb who is also an athlete. a lot of things have to happen perfectly for a PS to be really effective. DT opens up the field and the offense and can many times turn oline mistakes into plus yardage. accuracy is, of course, paramount. JMO.

In the very near future we may not have much of a choice. With the proliferation of zone read & spread-based offenses at the high school level, "pro-style" QBs just aren't being developed in the high school ranks anymore. Even if we wanted to run a system similar to the 2013 offense, the talent to run that system simply might not be available.

The other issue is a serious lack of defensive front seven talent. We are having trouble finding and developing DTs, DEs and LBs, and we are far from the only program with these issues. As a result, teams are going to have to lean even more heavily on their offenses since they won't have defenses strong enough to protect leads on their own.

I prefer a running QB so some sort of option concepts can be part of the O.

I like Mett, but even if you use a pro system it is much better to have someone that can pick up decent yardage on scrambles.
