re: Recruiting Dual Threat QBs and why it's hard

You actually see the problem a bit when trying to evaluate particularly big HS running backs. In HS, these dudes are bigger than most of the defensive lineman they'll face and substantially bigger than most of the rest of the defense.

Some of these guys get to college and suddenly, they can't just run through tackles anymore and they have nothing else.

On the flip side, sometimes that little guy with all the moves that's impossible to catch in high school gets to college and even the cornerbacks can arm tackle him and he becomes useless.

Evaluating total production for many of these guys can create a mirage. That's why NFL scouts don't really give a frick what you do when you play New Mexico State if you're at LSU. They want to see what you do against similar talent!!
