Hoping he can provide a spark at RB this year.

Seems like the dual threat list has more busts than the pro style list, at least for us. Guess it's not that surprising since a lot of them end up playing multiple positions

Wrong, look at it this way. The pro style qb's are ranked way higher but their hit rate is way lower.
More of the Dual threat's went on to have better college and nfl careers.

Played sparingly in 2007. Transferred to Rice after Saban ran Applewhite off as OC. I think Funuzzi ended up as the career passing leader at Rice when he left there.

A&M
Ryan Tannehill and Johnny Manziel were both 1st rounders and rich.

Tommy Dorman- ?

Matt Davis starting at SMU and Kenny Hill at TCU.

Played some QB for OM under Nutt. Freeze turned him into a contributor out of the backfield.

I had forgotten about him. He never contributed at OM. I think he ended up at South Alabama or something.

Transferred to OM as a safety. He left school to focus on baseball and is currently the top prospect in the Blue Jays' farm system.

Was a back up QB his entire career at UGA. Decided to try WR and Punt Returner his last few years. Transferred to Colorado for his Senior yr. Currently a QB coach back at his HS in Rockbridge Missouri

Another Dual Threat QB recruited by Richt that was languished to back up duty most of his career. Started 1 game at UGA, which was this past seasons debacle in Jacksonville. Earned his Sports Management degree in Dec and promptly transferred to Colorado St. with Mike Bobo and is eligible to play this season. His last season of eligibility.

Missing just like his eyebrows. That and he was listed as a pro set qb. Look at you, just assuming that he's dual just because he's black. Racist

So you're a racist AND a retard. Convenient for you to crop off the part where it lists him as the #10 Pro Style Qb coming out of high school.

Same link as your picture. Scroll down a little you racist

247's 2013 Pro Style QBs. Check out #10 you retard

Do we need to take this outside? I thought this was a mother fricking game but obviously not. I'm ready to throw down the gauntlet at any fast food chain of your choice, bish.
