I watched about three of his games and his highlight films. He runs like JR or Matt Jones (probably not that fast though). He's a straight ahead guy who showed little to no shake to him and that was in HS.

What happened to Deangelo Benton? I don't read Dandy Don, or even the rant. Did he not qualify or something?

He is a passing quarterback who can run. Not the other way around. That is what I like about him.

OK. That says it all right there. Thanks for playing though.

What??? Both were straight ahead runners with little agility in their running. JR would lower his shoulder and hit a 300 lbs lineman whereas Jones was speedy. The "style" of running was similar though, straight ahead. JJ is somewhere in between those two, with more speed than JR, but little hitting power like Jones.

But none of that goes against either JJ or Jones being a dual threat which is the part of this thread that got all this started. You can't honestly say that people weren't worried about Jones running. That guy ran all over the place. Similarly, JJ can run well enough to be considered one too. JR? No.

But Jones was a threat because of his 4.4 speed. JJ doesn't have that.

OK? Are you still saying JJ is not a dual threat?
