So true.
If you want a #1 Draft Pick type of guy to be a dual threat, you have to save the 'dual' stuff for the playoffs.
Yes, Watson blew out the knee on a non-contact play in practice, but he did so running around, and this was a re-injury due to his workload in college.
If you want a true dual threat offense (and this really only would apply to the handful of worst NFL teams), you have to have 3 disposable athletes that you are willing to use hard, and aren't crippled if they go down...
The problem with using a dual-qb-by-committee strategy is that the NFL is a franchise business. The QB is the Big Mac. It's all set up with endorsements and contracts... To buck that trend really takes individuality and creativity. Not every owner or GM team is up to that.

Wouldn't be as good as an elite passing offense team, but it could be a wildcard type of team with an elite D.
