But the NFL is finding that duel threats are a great commodity.

They just don't win you superbowls, well not just yet.

Maybe Chip with be the first to do it but he'll need to do it with Vick. Barkley fits the mold of the long lists of superbowl winning QBs.

Actually, I think Barkley would fit just fine in Chip's offense. I heard an interview with Chip and he said that his offense isn't built around a quarterbacks ability to run, that ability is simply an added bonus in some cases. It's more about the ability to make quick reads and get rid of the football.

The impression that I got was that he'd prefer that his quarterback not have to run!!

Yeah, I heard that. And Matt said the same thing- it's about quick tempo and no-huddle, more than it is about a QB running the ball. In fact, Matt or Chip, or both likened it to the Jim Kelley Buffalo Bills offense they used to run- and Jim Kelley was a statue compared to Barkley!

Oh I agree tf12 but I was specifically referring to Mamba's statement below.
But the NFL is finding that duel threats are a great commodity.

While Barkley may certainly fit in Kelly's up tempo offense, I believe never will he be considered a duel threat. To see that in Kelly's up tempo offense we will most likely see it run with Mike Vick

But The liability of the running QB ala Oregon Ducks and Mike Vick is that they get injured and miss games.

If they can get Matt playing right they'd be happy to have him. He would be in since the running QB(s) got hurt- so they wouldn't want to see him run too.

The problem with Vick running that offense is that he has never been very good at making the right read quickly enough in a standard pro-style offense. Doesn't seem likely that he'd thrive in an offense where he has to make the right read even more quickly.

No doubt that he will be afforded every opportunity to be the starter, but I think that at some point we will see either Foles or Barkley as the starter.

Most probably correct.

I haven’t checked to see where Florida is projected to go in a bowl game, but I hope we don’t end up playing a scrub team like Oregon.

once again, the irony Louisville anyone?
