if we use a dual threat qb we want him to be able to pass like a pocket passer

and those guys are rare. think about it. what style of football does Coach O want to run? the kind SoCal and Miami used to run when they were championship teams. pro style qb's who could move the ball down the field in the air and could score on big pass plays. it's no secret. so who are the qb's that feel left out? the guys who have more talent in their feet than in their arm. (I don't mean simple arm strength - I mean consistency and accuracy).

it's a philosophical decision.
