mmmm....I dunno about pocket presence being learned. Brady has a 6th sense that not many QBs I've ever seen had. Marino-esque. Certainly Bledsoe never had it despite being a starter his entire life. Tony Eason had pocket presence too -- he could accurately divine when he was within two seconds of being sacked so he could tuck the ball and fall down. It's a gift I tell ya...
