None of whom would be describes as "dual threat" by most people.
Russell Wilson ran a 4.55. He was labeled as a dual-threat QB in HS.
Drew had over 500 yards rushing his senior year (Jefferson's highest was 123, Herb Tyler's highest was 279)

They are just guys, not unlike Aaron Rogers, who are pass first but can run a bit.
But, I acknowledge that is a fine distinction.
Which is my point. You want to recruit that athleticism and develop the tendencies

I want a QB, can do the statue thing if he must. Who, if forced to stay in the pocket by a good front 7, doesn't suddenly become useless. WAY too many supposedly "dual threat" guys become ZERO threat the moment their running is stymied.
I completely agree. Arm talent should be the #1 criteria.

It occurs to me that I framed this improperly a bit earlier in the thread.
Here's the bottom line. I think that when evaluating a QB, you should first pretend you absolutely don't give a shite if he can run. Evaluating as if you plan to use him like Tom Brady.
The running should be a COMPLETE ad on. Alas, I think many people evaluate these guys where the evaluation becomes a sliding scale.
IE, "if he's a 10 runner, he can be a 5 passer but if he's a 6 runner, he needs to be a 7 passer".
Um. NOOOOOOOO! Rate that mother fricker like you expect him to perpetually play with turf toe!!!
