People are just scared of dual threat guys. It's gonna be great to see Franks as a tiger though
I hate seeing this. Shea is as dynamic as it comes and is the definition of a dual threat. So you telling me that people are scared of Shea? Dual threat means you can run and pass, it does not mean melanin production.
Shea is a beast, Franks is a beast. I want both but I am truly giddy that we have FF already.

sorry for being racist. I knew FF was a dual threat but didn't know about Shea. I haven't watched much of their film at all since they're not going to be in this year's class.

LOL exactly. People say they hate dual threats, are afraid of dual threats, yet many are dying to get Braxton Miller here. Patterson, on interview, considered himself to be a dual threat. I'd say he is at least as mobile as Jennings.
Hell Winston was labeled as a dual threat out of high school (top 20 overall recruit) and he barely runs in Fisher's system. I like pass first dual threats and Harris, McMillian, Franks, and Patterson fit that description. Cole Kelley runs some read option at 6'7 and he can move. Lindsey Scott looks like a Russell Wilson type QB. While Dwayne Haskins doesn't run much at all, he is similar to Teddy Bridgewater, as he is an accurate pocket passer who is pretty mobile.

Patterson is a good QB. But he is not a dual threat. In fact he was listed by all recruiting services as a pocket passer, until AFTER the LSU camp in July 2014. He was ranked in the top 10 in pocket passers nationally. After a decent 40yd time at LSU camp in July, he was magically re-classed as a dual threat (with in a week). It was a smart move, because they ranked him higher on the dual threat side. The common thought is that PPs are more cerebral than DTs (not that I agree with this). So when he moved over to the DT side it gave him a boost in the rankings.
DONT CONFUSE the term "dual threat" with the term "mobility". Just because a guy moves better than most PPs, doesnt make him a DT. Look at SP's film. It is clear that he is a PP with good mobility. But he is by no means a dual threat. AGAIN, he is a good QB.
