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?

he may be known more for his passing and accuracy, but colt should not be labeled as a pro style quarteback. texas runs a zone read. texas tech consistently has quarterbacks pass for that amount of yardage but they do not run a pro-style offense.

the label that these recruiting sites uses can convey a mixed message. a pro-style offense suggests that the snaps are taken primarily under center and the quarterback is required to drop back, go through his progressions and make reads during his 3-5-7 step drop. dual threat clearly comes across as a player who plays the quarterback position but has mobility and probably plays in some spread variation, taking snaps in a shotgun/pistol set. a pro style quarterback should just be renamed to a player who may or may not be able to run, or primarily runs a passing offense through snaps under center, but that is a really long title.

Having a dual threat QB just causes so many problems for a defence when preparing a game plan.It slows down blitzing schemes,generates holes in the defence(really well when in the red-zone),and pulls pass defenders down to spy on third downs.Dual threat QB's are better in college because of that darn "dual threat" thing.

Tebow is actually a good example of that.

No, he's not.

and the next yr allowed Tebow to do his dual threat thing. It won him a Heisman, but allowed for 4 team losses.

UF had the best scoring offense in the SEC last year with an average of 42 points/game. They averaged 4 points more/game than perhaps the most productive offense LSU has ever had.

Their young defense was just as much or perhaps more complicit in their 4 losses than their use of Tebow, giving up an average of 25 points/game.

In fact, they averaged 13 more points/game in 2007 than they did in 2006.

The major difference in 2007 than in 2006 was their defense allowing 12 points more/game.

quote:
This past yr UF, went back to spreading the offense around. Tebows numbers suffered, but UF wins another BCS.

Based on your comments, it strongly appears defense doesn't matter to you. Or you intentionally didn't mention this extremely important aspect of winning football to try and fail to make a point.

UF's ability to stop people at a higher rate than last year is just as much, or probably more, complicit in winning their national title this year than/as their use of Tebow, yielding an average of 12 points/game.

UF only averaged 1 more point/game in 2008 than in 2007.
