I think it's part of the reason why there are so few elite QBs right now.
I agree with your overall sentiment, but this part is a bit misleading. The overall QB play in the last 5 or so years has been better than it has ever been in the history of the league, and IMO there are just as many if not more elite QBs in the league as there has ever been. The problem is that the other 25-27 QBs are compared to the elite guys and they obviously pale in comparison. However, that is to be expected when you're talking about the truly elite QBs.
I think the "problem" is the the lower tier of QBs just seems worse than ever lately, however I'm not sure if that is just a perception problem or if it is a real consequence of the current college game. Honestly, when I think back to any era, there have always been awful QBs, so I tend to believe there isn't any real problem at the moment, but it still blows my mind that when tasked to find the best 32 QBs in the country, the bottom 5-7 are still so damn awful.

I think this is going to become more apparent when the current aging generation of very good to elite qbs calls it quits. Maybe we'll have a defensive revival. Or maybe they will continue to tweak the rules until they make the average qbs seem more elite.

all of the elite guys are old and didnt play in a spread offense.
when brees, manning and brady retire, and rodgers is on his way out, what will the league look like then?

Yeah, I may get burned for this, but I think we have these in the "elite/very good" department:
Brady
Rodgers
Manning
Manning
Brees
Roethisberger
Romo
Ryan
Wilson
Rivers
Stafford

Not true. I understand the numbers look this way, but the fact is that the rules are so skewed to the offense that you have to take all these numbers with a huge grain of salt.
Hell, in today's league, if your QB doesn't complete 60+% of his passes and throw for 3500-4000 yards then your team has real issues.
