Without the RIGHT OC... and without the RIGHT SUPPORTING DOTS... the Dual Threat QB really doesn't work NEARLY as well as having 2 dedicated QB's on a team. One that is an awesome passer and one that is 99.9% a rusher only. Nearly ALL teams that do both styles of play (RQB and Throwing the ball as well) use this approach. If it's a stupid way to do it, then why is it the #1 approach?
Seric is right. NOBODY said NOT to build one... the question was asked if a Dual Threat QB works and that answer has been thoroughly given several times. IMO, unless you have exactly what you need to make a Dual Threat QB not only succeed but shine well enough to win titles, then you are likely to feel what so many others have who have tried this approach... dismay. In the end, the choice is the OP's.
Hell... I've built more damn quirky dots than likely anyone else here. I've always thought that building 'Rubber Stamp' styles is about as boring as watching grass grow in the Gobi desert. So much so that me and jdbolick have butted heads enough I suspect he still has a raging headache (I got no brains left so I don't get headaches). If the OP wants to give it a go, good luck. He has more than enough input now to either succeed or get ulcers trying. 
I'd agree with this but add that without the right supporting dots, no player can be good, be it a crazy experimental
or a standard drop back passer. That being said, the typically run offenses and typical player builds lend themselves
to work with the normally built QBs, by and large. These typical offenses and players won't lend themselves necessarily
to a dual threat type QB system. You probably need very specific tactics and dots to make this work, and be very active,
because a set and forget offensive AI won't usually do the trick for this.
I'd like to point out that i personally feel nothing is fool proof, as i stated earlier, and this is certainly not.
Sometimes it can work a charm and other days not so much, just like anything else. I posted the links to those plays
simply to illustrate that what dude was saying is incorrect- QBs can move in the pocket, and can scramble;
whether or not this makes for an outstanding player is determined however by much more than that.
I'd also like to reiterate i think this goes beyond scrambling QBs: i've noticed it somewhat common the attitude
that pocket and drop back passers don't need agility at all. That would be a big mistake.
