Yes, Roger won't let the defenses decapitate QBs anymore when they leave the pocket to run, so yes you will see more running QBs.
However, I think there is something to be said that the top 5 QBs are all pocket passers still.
The thing about the NFL is that it doesn't really matter what you are great at, the defenses will ultimately take away what you do best and force you to adapt.
RGIII runs a running, short pass attack. He is usually getting rid of the ball very quickly to a receiver within 10 y of the LOS or he just runs. Will be interesting to see how defenses adjust to him. He also has the #1 rushing attack in the league. What happens if that goes away?
It will be interesting to see how his career goes. I am terrified that I will see him killed in live action one day though. He is easily the most interesting and dynamic QB in awhile. I am not sure he can do it long term, but I won't say he can't.
Luck is one that everyone wants to compare to Peyton, but he is just so much more mobile. He's more like Rodgers and I see him running less as he get's older and taking off only when needed. He's doing it with no running game which is amazing as a rookie. I see him as the best of this group we are talking about long term and the only sure bet.
Kaepernick and Russell both have amazing top 4 running games and ridiculous defenses to lean on. Both are overhyped at this point. Kevin Kolb looked great in 10 games with a great D and good running game in Philly. Just not sold on either.
Locker and Cam I see ultimately as being good, sometimes very good QBs that will have long careers but won't ever win a title.
I would put Alex Smith below that in a needs a good system category.
Vick and Tebow are effectively done.
It is telling that when you look at passing yardage and number of passing TDS right now you have to get down to #13 on each list before you get a "running" styled QB on either list.
I think for some of these guys it's working now, but the NFL has shown season after season that dual threat QBs don't win Super Bowls (Young notwithstanding).
I would like to see RGIII be the one to do it though.
