I tend to agree. I mean two of the biggest names in college football in recent years were/are Watson and Cam newton. But for the most part, they don't win National Championships. We scream we want Bama success, but I don't remember any of their QBs being Dual Threa. AND, we have to remember, that mobile QB and Dual Threat QB can be two different things. Murray was a mobile QB. Kirby very well could mean he wants a QB that can break out of the pocket if needed, and not necessarily one that becomes another ball carrier.

I guess we will have to wait and see what his definition of mobile QB is.

Jameis Winston ring a bell?Good God the only reason Clemson sniffed the national
championship was because of Deshaun Watson.Clemson had ZERO returning starters
on their O-line this year.You actually think Clemson comes close to being a top 10 team
with Jake Coker at QB? You think Bama is winning national champioships because of it's
QB play?

Bama wins because they freakin recruit better than everybody else and run off players
who can't hack it.We don't have the luxury of sticking a care taker QB in and letting
the rest of the talent on the field take care of itself.Sorry,UGA will never recruit like Bama
or put the investment in FB that Bama's administration does.

Outside of Bama, here are the QBs that have won or appeared in national championships since 2005:

Vince Young (DT) - won
Matt Leinart
Chris Leak - won
Troy Smith (could run)
Matt Flynn - won
Todd Boeckman
Tim Tebow (DT) - won
Sam Bradford
Colt McCoy (DT)
Cam Newton (DT) - won
Darron Thomas (DT)
Jordan Jefferson (DT)
Everett Golson (could run)
Jameis Winston (could run) - won
Nick Marshall (DT)
Cardale Jones (could run) - won
Marcus Mariota (DT)
Deshaun Watson (DT)

Just kind of putting to bed running quarterbacks don't play or win National Championships. I'm not saying they would necessarily be effective in our scheme, but they definitely can be effective overall.
