I think it's a good and well thought out idea, but I'd rather they continue working on improving the pocket and oline/dline interaction to make it more realistic. I could see people waiting until they feel the vibration and then just throwing in the flat b/c they felt it.

I don't disagree with you and thanks for the honesty.

I agree that timing is imperative (hence the 3,5 and 7 step drops), but I think this could work in conjunction with that. If you take your 3 step drop and can hit your guy, then the play is simple. But often, plays break down, receivers can't get open and you see a QB either sit in the pocket or step outside. In these situations, your pocket breaksdown and you are at the mercy of the blocks of your lineman. This would help you recognize what your QB can see by feel, while you look down field.

Kind of like I said above, in real life a QB can see a LB directly in front of him, running right at him while he looks downfield, but in a video game, with a 3rd person view, you don't get that view and your eyes are downfield while your QB is exposed.
