What you're calling a dual-threat QB is really just a bad QB. There's nothing inherent, no specific gene sequence within a more athletic guy that means he won't be able to play in a pro style system
The pro style offense is by far the most complex offense in all of football. That's why very few high schools run it. Even pro style recruits don't usually run pro style offenses. The responsibilities you ask a pro style qb to do are far more complex. Take auburn or Oregon for example, they run the same exact play 50% of the time.
In LSU'S offense the qb is expected to throw open the wr while in in a spread the qb is throwing in bigger windows. There is a reason so few qbs are actual pro style qbs because your athleticism isn't even the 3rd or 4th most important attribute. It doesn't matter if you run a 4.4 40 or have the lowest 3 cone time if you can't go through progressions while taking a 3,5,or 7 step drop.
While AJ isn't a good qb our system isn't kind to young and inexperienced qbs that are doing something for the 1st time.

Saying that a dual threat QB cannot run a pro style offense is lazy.
No one said it's impossible. We are saying that asking a qb to do multiple things he has never had to do is harder than that qb going to a somewhat familiar offense.

Well argued. I would add that Miles himself has a tendency to run the ball. Which is great when you are chewing up the yards on the ground, but not so great when your QB finds himself in 2nd or 3rd and long.
We may poke fun at the LSU QBs... Hell I poke fun at them... but LSU has had some pretty good QBs over the years and if they can get improved play this year they should be much more dangerous.

My aggravation is just with the general idea that an athletic qb can't thrive in the pro style offense.
Last year is on Cameron for waiting until the end of the season to recognize he needed to try some different looks, and in the bigger picture, Les has failed in recruiting and fostering a culture so that there's always a "program" guy or two - QB's that may never be a major factor, but that understand the playbook and can help if need be.
