[QUOTE="Millhouse, post: 784039, member: 78"]
i've changed my tune on dual threat qbs.  15 years ago, most dual threats couldn't throw the ball.   I thought it was safer to just get some short guy who can chuck it from the shotgun all day.

high school coaches took the easy way out with those guys back then and just ran ran ran.  innovative coaches in more competitive states finally figured out that mobile QBs can run and throw in a spread. now there are really are dual threats

i think our problem is that northeastern coaches are behind the curve.  not as competitive, you can still win by running some old fashioned never throw offense.

i think people up here are dinosaurs too.  when we find a guy who can throw and run (broyld), we automatically dismiss his throwing.  well it's just rochester, well it's just high school, well a college playbook has to be way more complex than rush henrietta's

we still have it in our heads that qbs need to be developed.  they already have been in high school and in the summer.

hopefully it's changing and we can stop being ashamed to run a "high school" offense with a young guy
