Herbert and Mahomes aren’t duel threat…but the passer need to have some component of running to their game, and willingness to use it.
One of the more frustrating part of DC’s game was that he was actually pretty quick, but had no feel when he needed to pull it down, when to scramble to pass and when to throw it away (which happens still too fast).
DC broke his hand trying to stiff arm a guy on the Bengals early in his career. Pretty sure the coaching staff at the time really emphasized keeping him in the pocket to prevent that from happening. That’s what he grew up with. DC wasn’t a dual threat, but he could pick up a first on third and medium if the defense gave him a lane.
