ESPN practically worshipped Tim Tebow. Robert Griffen was taken second in the draft. All of these QBs were called great because they were supposedly "duel threat QBs". Experts tried to claim that their running ability would make up for what they lacked in passing ability, but they were wrong.
Uhhhh, sure. That's a great arguing tactic that your kind likes to employ.
If you point out only the failures, of course it's going to make your argument "right".
Why not point out the dual threat QBs that have been successful, instead of focusing the attention on only the ones that have failed?
Russell Wilson has thrown more passes out of the pocket and has had more rushing attempts than anyone you've named. He's the exact definition of a dual threat QB whether you or Joelist will admit that or not.
