I don't think it has as much to do with the college game as it does the NFL's current obsession with offensive efficiency and being terrified of turnovers. Dink and dunk passing relying on YAC throwing downfield just enough to keep the D honest has become the norm. And honestly, that's probably because bend but don't break D has become the norm. Defenses are willingly giving up the short stuff relying on being able to bow up when the field gets shorter.

 

High risk passing offenses has become anathema to the modern NFL doctrine.

That is why TO prone gunslingers are out of fashion in a big way.

Probably talking about two different things but I think they intersect at the point of backyard football with the shift to prioritizing athleticism. Because athleticism pays off without having to do the development. 
You see it in OTs when scouts don’t know how to assess their aptitude for the pro game. 10-15 years at least. And you see it in the QBs too. 
I think it goes with the overall thing in society where instant gratification trumps all these days. If you buy into that.

It’s like Billy Bean took his on base percentage to the NFL. Zzzz. Yes it might work but watching it in action is boring.
