PP aren't going anywhere. There maybe less of them but they will always be around. A more accurate PP can be just as good as any DT QB.
It's always a changing cycle. Teams are starting to build defenses to cover spread offenses with DT QBs. Offenses will eventually start getting more physical players and going back to the old style to run over the smaller faster players and PP are the ideal QBs for that type offense. Then it will cycle back again.

That's what you don't understand though. PPs are no longer the ideal QB for that, well, at least not "non mobile" PPs. There is A LOT more QB training going on now than just 5 or 10 years ago. Dual threat QBs are going to QB trainers, Elite 11 events, 7 on 7 tournaments, and anything else to perfect their passing skill.
I bet some people didn't know that Aaron Murray ran for over 900 yards and 12 TDs as a high school junior. The SEC career leader in passing yards and TDs.
The statue QB is a dying breed. There will always be a few every year, but nowhere near what it use to be. Mobile pocket passers and dual threat QBs are growing rapidly.
