Look, all I'm saying is that that kid is good. But the heisman is a joke. Someone on here said something about one bad game shouldn't cost you the heisman. LOOK AT FOURNETTE. He had one of the most outstanding seasons of all time until Bama and then with bad coaching and game planning and his inability to have blocking that allowed him to do anything lost the trophy. Someone said look at Marriotta and Russell. Yeah look at them, Marriotta doesn't have much to work with so I'll give him credit. And Wilson is good. But there are way more flops of dual threats than good QB's in the NFL. Scouts are already saying he better be good at kick and punt return because they have trouble seeing him touch the QB position at the next level. It's Denard Robinson and Tim Tebow all over again.

There are FAAARRR more pro-style flops. HOWEVER, this doesnt match the original post, which deals with what makes ones the BEST player in college, NOT who's going to do better in the NFL.

I don't know what Lamar Jackson will do in the NFL, but your dual threat nonsense is just that, nonsense. Two of the top guys they are talking about for next year's draft are dual threats. Mayfield is a dual threat. Mahomes, Watson, and Kizer were dual threats. Wentz was/is a dual threat, along with Prescott, Mariota, and Wilson. Andrew Luck ran for 900 yards in college. The NFL is slowly but surely transitioning to mobile/dual threat QBs.
