Best dual threat QBs

[bigbird 60,457]

Who do you think has been the 5 best dual threat QB in the last 5 years(2011)?

 

Here is mine in no particular order.

Russle Wilson

Andrew Luck

Marcus Mariotta

Deshaun Watson

Johnny Manziel

 

 

 

[ChattTNTiger 31]

Mariotta the best overall and best balance of both if memory serves.Though I am a Titans fan!!

[AUIH1 1,515]

I never considered Luck to be a dual threat, but I like your list other than I would consider replacing Luck with Nick Marshal.

Nick was a run threat that could catch safeties cheating

[Mikey 16,566]

Manziel. If this is an election, he gets my vote.

I thought about Nick, but his Ryds/att were just about the same as Luck's and Luck was much better passer

Career

Nick: passing  4508, rushing  1866 yds/att 5.7

Luck: passing 9430, rushing  957 yds/att 5.9

Nick 2014: passing 2532 rushing 798 

Luck 2011: passing 3338 rushing 453 

What were Nick's stats in 2013?  What was Luck's highest rushing year?  I totally agree Luck is/was a much better passer.  Just still don't think of luck as a true DT QB.

Manziel 

[auburnphan 6,050]

The first 3 have all the QB attributes that one looks for from leadership, mental and athletic ability above and beyond anyone else at the college level, IMO

R Wilson

A. Luck

M Mariotta

RG III

C  Wentz

Deshaun Watson isn't too shabby

That's a good one.

@AUIH1 I edited the nick/luck post to their career stats.

[AU64 10,122]

Boy....what would you not give for any of those guys in model 2.0. 

[Barnacle 9,064]

Braxton Miller was pretty darn impressive through 2013. TJ Barrett in 2014 and 2016.

Luck was just as much as a weapon on the ground than he in the air when he was in college. He was gifted enough to where he could run QB power running plays.

JT Barrett would be # 6 on my list.

[Barnacle 9,064]

Also, Dak Prescott. 

[johnnyAU 3,630]

Speaking of Prescott...his replacement is starting to make a name for himself. 

[Barnacle 9,064]

Ha, sorry. I'm more just adding to your list. 

[johnnyAU 3,630]

Deshaun Watson's stats so far...

Passing: 9201 yds, 83 TD's, 8.5 Y/A

Rushing: 1744  yds, 21 TD's, 4.8 YPC

[AuburnEagle79 2,165]

Manziel

Watson 

RG3

Mariotta 

Dak

Thanks.  Luck definitely had more rushing yards in his career than I expected.

Yeah, based on the career stats that bigbird just posted, I had no idea Luck was that good of a runner.

Bigbird, why did you leave out Cam & Nick?

I set the parameters after 2011, so Cam wouldn't be on the list. He would be everyone's #1.  I left Nick off, because, IMO, he wasn't one of the top 5 and it can be argued he wasn't a dual-threat.

Not to be a stickler, but you didn't specify college.

Mr. Newton, 2011 was 21 TD pass, 14 TD rush.
