But here is the problem. Sure "we" can scan progressions by ourselves with our own eyes. The problem, from a realism standpoint, is that we have the same "eyes" for every QB. I'm not saying that V&P is perfect, but there needs to be a way to needs to be a way to tangibly "see" the difference between a Vick and a McNabb in terms of "awareness", or in this case, reading a defense. So to answer to original post, QB Vision has not always been there, because now our "eyes" have to be different for different QBs, which makes sense to me.
P.S. It was also mentioned that to try and differentiate between QBs you can make a greater hit in pass accuracy, and that just won't work either. Again I'll use the Vick and McNabb comparison. Vick is actually a pretty accurate passer. He's not Manning or Brady, but he can fit the ball into some tight spots with great velocity. The problem for Vick right now is that he'll throw a ball that would be in perfect stride for a receiver, but he doesn't realize there will be a defender there when he throws that ball. That's not accuracy, that is awareness. Conversely, McNabb has great awareness of the field and where defenders are heading towards, but his accuracy on the passes themselves is not elite. Up until last year, there would routinely be situations where McNabb would find the right guy to throw to, but throw it in the dirt or throw it behind him. That, my friend, is accuracy. Accuracy and awareness can't be effected by the same thing, or you will not be able to show the true difference between a Tom Brady and a Jeff George, or a McNabb and a Vick.

I agree with this post. QB vision has always been there for the USER, but not to the game. Lets compare AJ Feely to Peyton Manning.
With out QB Vision, a player picks up the controller and can see the whole field just as well with both players. You can look at the whole field, and if you see someone open, you fire it in. The only different is that their ratings will dictated the acc and the velocity of the ball, other than that the user is able to see the whole field and make quick decisions with both players. But realistically, can both players simply eye that open WR as quickly? Do you think AJ Feely has the same vision and Manning does on the football field? No I think not.
It is true you can still see the whole field regardless of the cone. But truthfully, the time that it takes Feely to see that open WR and Peyton Manning is a difference in the game, and in real life. Peyton Manning, and the user, can see mostly the whole field in the game, and make that pass quickly. AJ Feely can see a fraction of the field and can only make accurate passes to that section, but the user can see the whole field...so in order to make a pass the user must take that extra time to make that pass. Thats also the difference in real life, Manning can read his receivers much quicker and make that pass much quicker. AJ Feely...ha...no comment.
Truthfully, for those who are bitchin are the ones struggling. Those who don't struggle do not complain...that's how the world works, its almost human nature. To come and say yeah I've got it down, means you might be used to it, but you still are making mistakes that are pissin you off and you wouldn't have made if the cone was absent. Like I said those who are complainin, are those who are strugglin...period.
