Some player types are harder to evaluate in HS than others. Dual threat QBs fall into this category. The reason is that often, in HS, a "dual threat" QB is really just the most athletic MFer on the field. He can often appear to even be a pretty decent passer because he's passing against defenses so helpless to stop him when he's running that his reads are simple and WRs are running in the clear.
Not only that, but most DT qb's work completely out of the shotgun and don't even know the proper footwork for 3 and 5 step drops. Not to mention being taught how to properly take a snap from center.

No, most high school QBs work completely from the shotgun. There was some work done, but guys like Brady, Flacco. Peyton Manning, Brees, etc work 70%+ from shotgun. Most college teams are spread.

My ideal QB is pass well and run well. My second best is pass well and have some mobility. I'd rather not have a statue because your QB is dead in the water whenever the OL is bad.
