Some thoughts:

College and high school are better suited to DT than the NFL for a number of reasons

1. The mandatory limit of 4 year careers in both College and High school means the risk of performance loss due to injury is substantially less.

2. The players are always in the ideal age range for the physical demands of dual threat.

3. There are tons of starting jobs. High School used to be dominated by pocket passers because they coach picked his son at QB and then did everything he could to ensure success. This meant the high school QBs good enough to start in college had excellent schematic training. Coaches now go for the win first, which means putting the best athlete at the most important position. This didn't happen because high school coaches stopped giving a crap about their sons, it's because the sport has become more important. Schools aren't just handing a clipboard to the dad who has son and wants to coach.

For these reasons, College has and will see a decline in pocket passers. But it won’t see the ‘death’ of the pocket passer for the same reasons, indirectly. Directly, the reason is because the NFL is the final goal for the best players, and the NFL is better suited to the pocket passer.

1. The NFL wants a guy who can be a great QB for 10-15 years. A serious injury not only forces them to punt on that season, but possibly be stuck with a diminished player until they can replace him, which is incredibly difficult.

2. 10-15 years in the NFL means your QB is old by the end. Way past the ideal of running around and getting crunched by the lunatic brotherhood (or LB for short.)

3. There are very few starting jobs. The NFL doesn’t have to care if college wants to produce mostly dual threats.

As long as the NFL wants pocket passers, there will be some college programs that play pro-style offense, the distinction is a valuable recruiting tool.
