Re: Making Quarterback Awareness Mean Something

My idea would make it as realistic as possible. When you are actually playing football and call a pass play you always have a #1 target that you are looking for before anybody else. Right now when we call a pass play you have 5 targets from the begginning which is unrealistic.

What they should do is at the start of a passing play the only possible reciever you can throw it to should be that #1 target. Everybody else has no button and nothing will happen when you press those buttons. QB's with high awarness should be able to unlock those recievers much faster than a low awarness guy. So Peyton Manning should actually have the opportunity to pass to that #5 guy if he has decent protection. He is able to read his keys and his checkdown guys should appear much faster than a rookie with low awarness. The low Awarness guy should unlock the other recievers much slower and in the same time it takes Manning to read all his target the low awarness guy can only unlock 2-3 targets.

They should have a base awarness rating which at the maximum be around an 80. This is for the elite and quick learning players who can pick up a new playbook fast. After each season they should incread their awarness 4-5 points which accounts for the familiarity with their system. So Peyton Manning with the Colts would have 99 Awarness because he had been in the system for so long. But now that he is with the Broncos it should go down to 80 because it is a new system. He is a quick learner but he hasn't mastered their playbook yet.
