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

Blake sims was fast as hell he was definitely a dual threat. He just wasn't used that way in the system often.

In my opinion, Winston could have been as well - he had run capabilities out of high school. Again, it just wasn't necessary in the system he played.

I think the whole analysis above misses the ball. There are quarterbacks who play in a more run heavy system and are required to hoof it out more often and there are quarterbacks that could play WR because of their hands and speed but are almost exclusively pocket passers.

It's more of a question of whether a college player who plays quarterback in a less traditional offense can translate to the next level when required to learn to be a pocket passer. Then you throw in another variable by evaluating whether they were actually a dual threat.
