If taking UGA's "cast offs" is the way to get good QBs who fit what you really want to do on offense, then do it!

Both Park and Bauta are dual threat types. Park at the very least is a very mobile pro style, and Bauta is full on dual. Most UGA fans, at least on the Internet, wanted one of them over the pro style statue Ramsey.

As a high school junior, 5 star Aaron Murray ran for over 900 yards at 9.5 ypc with 12 TDs. He carried the ball 87 times a piece his first two years at UGA. That's only 21 carries off Jennings who actually ran the read option. He had 7 rushing TDs at 3.5 ypc as a senior. He finished his career with 16 rushing TDs. That's four more than Jordan Jefferson in 73 less carries.

Jennings and McMillan were both more mobile QB that flat out dual threat. While I do agree that trying to force dual threats to play pro style, is a very steep climb, it wouldn't be so bad if we had one QB that could give us at least a 2 year cushion to train these guys. These guys that were in strict read option spread, or full on spread, have a tough time learning how to operate in a pro style offense and it takes years to develop that.
