Steve Calhoun has coached the Packers quarterback since eighth grade. This is a new Jordan Love, too. Calhoun details exactly why Love is a completely different QB in Year 3.
The conscious decision to look at different things with different eyes is breaking down what (presumably) great quarterbacks do although I suspect many of them would not even be able to identify that they are doing it. It is but one of many aspects of "the game within the game" and how, at the very top level of any sport or activity, everything is completely different. Golf, competitive eating, Call of Duty ... sure any of us can enjoy / attempt these things, but the true professionals break thing down and see things so differently that it almost is a completely different experience. This is a small window into how different it is.
And Love seems more confident back there. There is a power behind his throws that was lacking and I think that comes from confidence and practice.
One almost has to assume that they extend him when his contract is up, even if Rodgers is still here. I could also see them trading him for draft capital to go get another first round QB and start the process over again. There are a few franchises that are on band-aid QBs, aging stars that are nearer to the end and are not as strong as the were. That would be an ideal landing spot for him should Rodgers actually play another few years.
looking at different things with the two eyes? if one has normal vision in each eye there is fusion of the image seen in each eye as light reflected from the object of interest is focused on the fovea of each eye simultaneously - the eyes track together. peripheral vision does allow one to see beyond the object being pursued but the peripheral images are not as sharp as light reflected from peripheral images falls outside of the fovea (the only part of the retina that forms sharp, detailed images). i'm afraid this claim is not accurate.
Rewatched his Saints throws after reading this, you can see him not keeping his left foot down, even on some of the good throws. Makes you think he's still a few mechanical tweaks away from really putting it together, but those tweaks are pretty small and will come in time. Great stuff, Tyler.

He still sucks
