Are we seeing a paramount shift in QB recruiting?

I wish our fans would get over the "pro-style" vs "dual threat" QB crap.

Franks plays like a pro style QB as well even though he's classified as a DT

Jennings was listed as a pro style QB in HS. I really don't think McMillan is so much of a drop back pocket passer either.

I rather the DT personally.

A lot of the bigger schools have had success with them.

As long as they are accurate passers the running is just a bonus.

Seeing the whole field and checking down equals success.

Are you referring to Auburn in particular? If so then there is night and day difference between LSU's and Auburn's skill players.

there is no 'paramount shift'. We have been and will continue to recruit the best QB's that we can get on campus. There have been some hits and there have been some misses. Duel threat/pro style means nothing in regards to who we recruit.

same here. All duel threat means is that the QB is athletic and mobile enough to run. That's generally regarded as a good thing. Felipe Franks is big, accurate, has a great arm, and can also run, thus he is classified as a dual threat

I would agree with you to certain extent, but dual threat QB's have a natural tendency to escape the pocket as soon as they feel some pressure. There are very few dual threat QB's who will step up into the pocket and throw a ball when they know they are about to get lit.

What is a paramount shift?

You mean a paramount shift since Tues when we send LOI papers to Gibson hoping he would sign?

Yep you nailed it.
