Actually, I think the gap is smaller now between the college and the NFL. Just look at all the rookie QBs who have played at a high level in recent years. Big Ben, Matt Ryan, Flacco, RGIII, Luck, Cam, and Dalton are just a few QBs who more than held their own as rookie QBs. In the past, rookie QBs rarely succeeded and were overwhelmed by the speed and athleticism of the NFL. Today's rookie QBs don't seem to have as much difficulty adjusting to the speed of the NFL.
That's a good point and I think it goes all the way back to the high school level. High school players are developed so much more now than they were 20 years ago, they get to college more developed. Kids are playing 7on7 year around, going to national camps, hiring personal trainers and coaches all while still in high school.
