Why don't qb's wear a mirrored visor like McMahon used to?

How many plays are DBs 30-40 yards away from the QB? Aren't a vast majority of passes 10-15 yards down field between the numbers?

 

Safeties? Probably quite a few. Safeties are lining up usually 15yds off the LOS, if not more. By the time the QB drops back hes probablu about 8yds behind the LOS if not more. 

 

“Seeing the eyes” is largely overstated as theres about a 3” gap in the facemask for you to see his eyes from almost 30yds out.  And players are running and moving around while theyre doing this (bouncing makes it harder to see something that small at that distance).  

 

theyre mainly looking at which way his head is pointed. 

 

LB’s could probably see this more.

A lot. read on please.

 

QB drops back 10 yards and sometimes more. WR catches a pass 20 yards from line of scrimmage that is 30 right there for CB. Safety's are further away closing in to help.

 

Toss in the width of the field of 53 yards and those a cross the field throws and not unusual for db's and safety's to be 30 or 40 yards away. I mean a DB lining up at sideline is 25 yards+ away from QB before the snap.
