re: Why Does Crowton Need a Dual Type QB?

Colt McCoy is not a pro style QB and if you think that, you are retarded.

so you think a guy that threw the ball almost 450 times for almost 4000 yds with a 76 comp.% but only had more than 15 rushing attempts in a game one time this season isnt know for his passing?

And I'm sure OU would love to trade their pro style QB away if it won them a damn bowl game.

well wrong again bc the HEISMAN trophy winner was the reason they were in the game in the first place. And it wasnt Bradford that lost them NC, it was their defense.

The fact of the matter is that pro style QB's do not win championships in college football in this day and age.

Chris Leak and Matt Leinart were pro style QBs. So were Craig Krenzel, Ken Dorsey, Josh Huepel, Chris Weinke and Tee Martin. In the BCS era, only four "dual threat" QBs have won championships (and Mauck was barely a dual threat the year he won it).

did he finish the year as UT's leading rusher? i'm pretty sure he did

Tebow is a dual-threat????

ugh yeah

Crowton needs a dual threat QB about as much as winners need to watch UFC.

there

if you watch a great team with one qb see what happens when he gets hurt. usc , oregon were headed to the nc game and the qb's got hurt and that ended their run. lsu's qb flynn went down but we played perriloux all season in the two qb roll so he played tenn. in the sec.champ. game and won. so if you got both it's smart to play both. if jefferson keeps running and he will he will eventually get hurt and if lee takes enough hits he will also eventually get hurt. so lsu needs to make sure we can play with either qb behind center.

Flynn I'd disagree with somewhat,

i don't think you watched krenzell much

they were all 4.8 guys running around

Let's look at the past few National Champions

2003: Mauck - I wouldn't consider Mauck a dual threat QB. Yeah he ran well but in 03 he was more of a pro-style pocket passer.

2004: Leinart - Pro Style

2005: Young - Dual Threat

2006: Leak - Pro Style Tebow - Dual Threat

2007: Matt Flynn - Pro Style

2008: Tebow - Dual Threat

Seems about 50/50 to me.....The only true dual threats to win NCs the past 5 years were Young and Tebow, two of the best players in college football history. Just what do you consider "dual threat"? A QB who can just tuck it and run to avoid pressure and gain 5 or 6 yards, which is just about every QB in NCAA football, or a QB whom you can run option plays and gameplan your entire offense around his running ability?

I think he likes the fact that he can have both. Have your pro style guy (MF) run the majority of the O and then let your dual threat guy (RP) come take the wind our of the D's sails.

Worked for Flynn/RP and Leak/TT...
