Hey there, and thanks for the question.  Well, you really answered your question by just asking it!  A QBs "vision" has little to do with their actual eye sight.  Its a matter of knowing the plays, what everyone does on each play, and also knowing the defenses you are playing against.  When a QB does this, he can predict who will be open on each particular play, and why.  I would be glad to get into the specifics with you, but first I want you to do something for me.  Go into my past answers section on the profiles page, and look up a question asked by NATHAN on 11/14/06.  It is titled "quarterback" and addresses exactly what you want to know.

Once you are finished reading that response, go ahead and do a follow up with me for anything you didnt understand, or still are unsure about.  I am not going anywhere so dont feel like you are being blown off.  I think that response will greatly benefit you, and answer most of your question.  Remember, QB "vision" means being able to see the play developing, and making the right decision.  That response to Nathan explains how to make this happen!

Get back to me when you have read it!  Looking forward to hearing from you again soon!
