That's why practice matters so much. In order to fix a "pigeon-toeing" issue, a coaching staff has to completely rebuild the throwing motion with the QB so that the natural plant of the foot is in the direction of the throw. Bad programming currently exists and needs to be removed and replaced with good programming. I don't think the Colts should bother trying to fix the programming of Levis when they couldn't do it with Wentz and when there are two perfectly good options that don't require that fix in Stroud and Young.
I get the mind/muscle deal. Humans are adaptable. They can and do change and learn all the time. Most of us for a lifetime. You actually have to want to however. I don't think you give up on a 23 year old who has all of 2 years starting in college because you feel that your organization is incapable of breaking a habit. I also believe it is idiotic to say Wentz couldn't do so it can't be done. From what the media in every place he has played has said he really doesn't want to change. You 'bother' because you believe Levis has a huge upside. I am not saying he does, but if the Colts take him THAT is why they are willing to be 'bothered'.
