re: Is the death of the Pocket Passer coming in CFB?

What the NFL wants is Aaron Rogers a pocket passig style who can extend plays. Cam is huge and that is why it works pretty well for him, but most others shouldn't run enough due to injury risk. Andrew luck, like someone said, is super athletic based on his combine but is still a pocket passer who has the ability. The Smaller ones in the usual dual threat vein I don't think translate to the punishment of the nfl well. They will get some more tries recently, but if there aren't a lot of successes then they will probably go back to preferring the pp by a large margin. I think the biggest potential effect will be qb's having to spend a couple years learning before starting due to the lack of experience in that style.

The newer starting QBs are now the mobile pocket passers and dual threats. I mean check out this link for 2014.
