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.

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.

Every QB can run to some extent. If you find a PP that is accurate enough to pick apart a defense, and you have a decent OL, the Defenses will put more players in coverage and won't blitz the QB enough to matter if hes a great runner.
That said obviously you would rather have an accurate DT over a PP whose about as accurate but good true PPs are usually more accurate. Defensive minded coaches want to slow the game down and will always take a more accurate PP whose not going to get hit much and can make those extra throws. Until defensive minded HC quit there will always be PP.
