Just to add to the discussion -- I'm not sure how EA calculates it, but I would think that awareness for a QB would be a combination of pocket presence, ability to diagnose and beat pressure, and protecting the football.

PFF has the pressure state broken down by categories, then by an overall grade for 2011:
TOP 3 QBs Avoiding Sacks
Eli Manning
Michael Vick
Drew Brees
TD to INT ratio under pressure
Aaron Rodgers 4:0
Andy Dalton 4:0
Sam Bradford 2:0
^now this one is kind of a funny result, but I can see how they got there because int's are so weighted. These three graded out highest because they they zero INTs. Here's the next three on that list.
Tom Brady - 8:2
Drew Brees - 10:3
Ben Roethlisberger - 6:2
Completion % Under Pressure
Drew Brees
Tony Romo
Jay Cutler
Highest Overall Grade Against Pressure
Eli Manning
Drew Brees
Cam Newton
next two were
Aaron Rodgers
Tom Brady
Now I'm surprised to see Cam graded out so high, but it had more to do with him seeing more overall pressure than Rodgers and Brady. Both best Cam in TD/INT ratio, but Cam did have a higher comp % under pressure than Rodgers and was sacked less than either, which ties into the forumla. Not sure I totally buy it, but it's something to think about. Maybe EA should tick up Cam's awareness a bit.

I'm glad I scrolled down to see this because this is the information I thought of when I initially read the OP. Now I'm confused on what AWR actually controls in Madden.
