I was watching College Football Live the other day and they brought up what I thought was a half way decent point. I thought I would throw it out there and see what everyone else has to think
They were having a discussion about which is better a pocket passer or a more run/pass guy.
One thing that caught my attention was that with a dual threat guy you do not need the detail you would with a pocket passer. If the first read is not there than the running qb is out of the pocket and does not even worry about the second or third progression. With a pocket passer you need to make sure they understand coverages more and the progression needs to be there.
I was wondering if you guys out there feel the same way?
I took a look at our dual qb and noticed that I did see that in him. If the his first choice is not there he is more likely to start to break the pocket and use his legs more.
In the HS level does it make it better to have a dual threat QB. With the time given you just might not have the time to put in all the progressions and have them develop a good understanding of coverages.

I think the majority on here will agree with you. Especially at the H.S level (but even in college) when you make the defense defend 11, it is tougher.

I like the dual threat for the reason already mentioned, plus it gives the defense one more person to worry about and will probably loosen up the coverage in the middle a little because the LB's have to be concerned with the QB breaking one if he takes off. Dual has to be a halfway decent passer or that is what I would prefer. Riley Dodge at Southlake Carrol is a good example.

By "Pocket Passer" vs "Running QB" I'm assuming you mean the Pocket Passer is a much better passing QB.
A "Running QB" in a high power offense, hinders the offense. You have the RBs and WRs to make plays, you need a QB to get them the ball. When guys like Mike Vick need to just get complete a 4 yard out ot pick up a 3rd in 3...you'll wish you have the Pocket Passer.
A "Running QB" in an offense lacking a bit (or a lot) at the skill positions...is a MUCH different story. You will need someone to take the load of the offense.
