I see you purposely left out that Tee Martin had almost 200 attempts rushing and 15 plus tds rushing in his 2 starting years. Also Winston was a DT coming out.

Tee Martin had a 2.8 rushing yard average in 1998. Real dual threat there.
despite all of Tebow's short runs even he had an average over 4.


and who cares what Winston was when he came out. He played in an NFL offense and was a pocket passer, and a good one at that. his career average was 2.0ypc.

Just b/c someone is capable of running, doesn't mean they are labeled as a dual threat QB. Tebow, Newton and Vince Young were true dual threat qbs. the offense relied on them running the ball.

Neither Tee Martin or Winston played in an offense that required a dual threat qb. They played in pro style offenses that needed a pocket passer. Their ability to run was lagniappe.


Pocket passer win championships a whole lot more than dual threat guys. By the time you're playing in the championship game, you're probably going up against several NFL caliber defensive players. If you can't run a NFL caliber offense, it's usually difficult to win against the athletes you're up against. Exceptions of course are made, especially when the QB is the size of Young/Tebow/Cam.

So unless you can find the next Vince Young, Cam Newton or Tim Tebow, stick with pocket passers. and i'm talking to you LES MILES.
