I think you misunderstand what a dual threat QB is. A dual threat QB is someone who might not have a very accurate arm or is good at reading an offense, but they can use their athleticism to make options open up and are good enough at the other things to complete those passes once the defenders have to deal with their scrambling threat. A pro-style QB is someone who's more comfortable playing under center and using the pocket. It doesn't mean they necessarily can't use their feet some, but they're far more comfortable growing roots and instead making reads and relying on their accurate arm to complete passes. It's a bit of a spectrum and players can fall into different places on that spectrum (for example, Trevor Lawrence can use his feet well, but is still more comfortable staying in the pocket when he can (he was just incapable of doing so his junior year with us due to the line)).

Tom Brady, Joe Burrow, and Matthew Stafford are pro-style QBs. Deshaun Watson and Lamar Jackson are dual threats.

DJ is immobile and is incapable of ever being a dual threat QB. That's entirely true, and no amount of working out is changing that. But thus far, he's also really bad at making reads and accurately delivering the ball. He's definitely NOT the stereotypical pro quarterback. I was the biggest DJ fan before last season, but after the worst season in Clemson history behind center (and the second worst in the entire country), I don't think we can label him as either style of QB. I think we're at the point where we can just say, "Yep, he's listed as a QB on this roster."

I think maybe you also misunderstand what a dual threat QB is.
A dual threat is simply supposedly a QB that can run. It doesn't mean he doesn't have an accurate arm or has anything to do with his reading a defense. The ones labeling DT and PP QBs are often wrong

I also don't believe it was the worst season in Clemson history behind center. You need to check your facts since Brandon Streeter on a 3-8 Clemson team in 1998 for example. There's many others.

Come on, man.

When people pull so called facts out of their backsides it makes them totally unbelievable and not worthy of actual football discussion. You don't even know what reads a QB makes or doesn't make, but you think you know it all.
