Northern Illinois QB Jordan Lynch is a dual-threat quarterback. In college, those are viable assets because they can erase poor to non-existent coaching and poor play-calling. In the pros, they get torn up really fast and carry a life-expectancy of about six years.

 

The best dual-threat quarterback generally accepted to ever make it to the NFL is Michael Vick. He played eight games as a rookie behind Chris Chandler finishing with a 62.4 passer rating.

 

Only four of his first six years in the league were nearly complete seasons. 2003 he missed 11 games. His career fumbles are unclear. ESPN lists 52 in his passer stats, and 38 in his rushing stats.

 

Since returning to the NFL in 2009, Vick has missed a total of 19 games for the Eagles as of the end of last season. He has played in six games this year.

 

I think a dual-threat quarterback option is one NOT worth considering.
