He hasn't played a game yet. I'll have to see it in a game before I believe that.

Michael Vic was 1 of the best Dual threat QB's I have ever seen in College. I would not say he and Matt Flynn were similar QB's in style, not even close

I'm guessing it was while you were playing with your Tonka truck in a shitty diaper

He was still dual threat

If you don't like that example how about Cam at Auburn? Tebow? Manziel? They're all dual threats and ran pretty solid offenses.

Dupre and Quinn have transferred too Alabama since we will only throw the ball 10 times per game. See Jordan Jefferson.


Let me give you some raw data El Dumbass

Jordan Jefferson true sophomore first year starter 12 games 296 attempts

Zach Mettenberger redshirt senior 2nd year starter (3rd if you count JUCO) 12 games 296 attempts

I'd love to hear your reply on this discovery?

Not mad, I should not have used the term "Dual threat" loosely. You corrected me, and you were right, I should have said, I enjoy the Pro style offense more than the other. I don't dislike running QBs if they are effective.

What do you think leads most to transfer? That spirit you are talking about makes them want to play and compete on the field. If you have that spirit and are running second team, you stay. If you have that spirit and are running third team, you transfer. You have to be partially brain dead after this spring to think that kid had any shot of jumping to second team. He read the handwriting on the wall even if some of us refuse to.


Do you not remember the fact that JJ was behind Hatch and Lee? UF in 2011 went through three QBs. UF in 2013 went through three QBs. UT in 2012 went through three QBs. Auburn in 2012 went through three QBs. You give yourself at least one year. Nobody knows exactly how they will due until game time, and any kind of injury could move you up the pecking order.

but would you say there are QBs with good legs and a threat to run if they have to, but have very few designed run plays.

I did like them both, I do like the Pro style pocket system better. I wouldn't call either of those 2 guys you mention pure dual threat QBs. Just my opinion.


Anybody who thinks a QB who has 100+ carries in a single year, isn't a dual threat, has no idea what a dual threat is. I should call you a moron, but I won't.

Mauck never had 100 carries in a single season genius

What is a pure dual threat?

You're either a threat with your legs or not.

There is no logical reason to want a QB not to be a dual threat. Dual threats should still be pocket passers. See Drew Brees and Russell Wilson

Mauck 2003: Rushing 79 attempts 97 yards

I agree with this, However, do you really consider Drew Brees a dual threat? I guess there are varying degrees of threat, that is my point.

I have seen dual threat QB's who were much better runners than passers, and still were not great runners.

Mett is a pure passer, and 1 of the best we have had in years. I explained in an earlier post that I was wrong to use the term "Dual threat" not sure why you are still talking about it, but carry on

They take away yardage for sacks. Did you watch that season?

Then add yards for running away from a sack

I do know that Mauck was known for running, and was a threat for sure, just not very threatening in his final season, according to his stats

You can be a dual threat without actually being good at one facet. Hell, JJ was bad at both.
