It’s not really about his ability to run that truly makes him dynamic. People hear running QB’s and automatically think the kid will run and make plays like Michael Vick. Sure that ability is valuable. It’s more valuable the a running QB is able to put the defense in compromising situations and we have more opportunities for explosive plays.
So we can line up with 4 or 5 wide receivers force the defense to stop our pass and we run the ball. All of a sudden 3rd and 5 is really a 3rd and short because we the defense becomes more spread creating more lanes for us to move the ball. (Just one scenario of his impact)
We have the ability to outnumber the defense at all times and force the defense to roll an extra defender in the box and overload. When we do that we are able to run away from the overload (compromised position) or we are able to throw the ball (compromised position).
I would urge you guys not to buy into the hype that Trent Dilfer gave JF because he made similar remarks about Tua. Also, pay no attention to his high school film. Their system and the talent level at his high school did not allow him to do anything close to whatvwe will ask him to do.

One other huge addition a dual threat QB adds is on a zone read, the LBs sometimes take a split second longer to get to the running back because of the threat of the QB running.
Fwiw, I like Fields a ton. More than I liked Fromm coming in and I was a huge Fromm fan. That being said, he has to prove himself at the collegiate level. There are plenty of Elite 11 MVPs and top ranked QBs that come in and don't prove themselves. I love that Fields came to a place he's going to have to compete. He and Fromm should be awesome pushing each other, and I think that they both have great heads on their shoulders. Same as Eason. It makes the QB competition better and brings the best out of each player.
Regardless, I love the situation we're in going forward. We're establishing ourself as an offensive powerhouse that brings in elite QBs, RBs, OL, and TEs. After the 2019 class, and with what I'm expecting Hardman, Ridley, and Godwin to do this year I think the WRs will get that same love.
