If you had your choice of the same caliber player for their skill set, dual threat QB vs traditional pocket passer, which would you choose for the Buffs?
A dual threat only works if he's actually a threat to throw the football and run a Pac 12 offense.

I'm talking about our 2006 starter. He was a DT QB, but he sure as hell couldn't throw.Bernard Jackson was also a QB in a completely different era of college football. 30 years ago.
Booker was much more valuable to that offense. Not to mention they were one of the worst in the Pac 12.My example is Travis Wilson from Utah. The dude is not a great passer by any means (and we saw that first hand in Boulder), but his running ability creates a pretty dangerous offense for the Utes.

No worries, man. I know BJ isn't a great example and it's only one guy but there seems to be a lot of people who think that if we had a running QB the offense would be better. Maybe it would, but there's not guarantee.Ya my bad, misread a number on his bio.
Yes, he was a dual threat QB... At CSU pueblo before they were winning National Championships

BJAX was in Rivals as a QB and played QB in college as as starter, he was as DTQB.Bernard Jackson was not a DT QB. He was a WR/ATH that Hawkins happened to put under center.
And what are you referring to when saying "Not to mention they were one of the worst in the Pac 12"?
This is true, and I think Montez is a guy who can do thatA legitimate DT forces the defense to defend the entire field. The wider hash marks aids a DT much more than a pure pocket passer.
Wilson was so pivotal to their success that he wasn't the full time starter and they didn't have a great offense.

Even when he was healthy Kendall Thompson played a ton. Hell in their bowl game they still rotated QBs
Ok, my point still stands. A QB who can throw the ball AND run adds another dimension and is so much more conducive for success in the college game.
Dual threat QB that can operate in the pocket. Dual threat QB like Andrew Luck, John Elway, Mcnair and Steve Young. No thank you on Tim Tebow and Johnny Manziel. I don't know if Marcus Mariota will be successful in the NFL. I have my doubts.
