QBs do have the ability to pre-empt progressions to hit a wide open man, but it requires a successful vision check. I have found that vision needs to be around 85 for this to even begin to happen, and higher is better in that regard.
I am not sure, but I think an "open man" bias may help this along a bit.
edit: Also, one thing that can be a bit deceiving...a QB rolls through his progressions, but will throw the ball when he feels pressure. So it may be the first read was lightly covered, but still did not hit the QBs threshold for throwing the ball, and the second read is more heavily covered but the QB feels pressure and makes the throw anyway.
Thank You Taut. Its good to know the QB can deviate from his progressions. This is after the ball is snapped right?
