Good info thanks.

I wonder the effect of having long developing pass plays have on that. Much like the RB having a 40 yards run and a bunch of one yard runs giving a good average.

Great thought^^

What stood out to me was Stafford's numbers since we have a similar system. With Goff, the Rams prioritized getting the ball out even quicker because Goff struggles with pressure, and doesn't stretch the field as well.

With Stafford, they're stretching the field more. Plus, they have Desean Watson. It makes sense that with two deep threats in DK and NoE we're doing the same. However, Waldron and Pete are clearly trying to balance it with quicker passes which is why Russ' numbers in time to throw has gone down. We've seen Russ hold the ball a few times this year, but that should further highlight how quickly he's getting it out when he's not holding the ball.

Then you have the Chiefs and Mahomes. They're getting a lot of two high safety looks and they're having a lot of turnovers. Main difference, is Andy Reid is a master at screens and deception so he balances it out more than we were able to. Andy also isn't big on running the ball.

Just interesting overall to see where these QBs are. Brady could probably have an even lower number, but he has AB and takes the necessary shots throughout the game.

Good discussion. So many variables. quick passes, slow passes, RW scrambling, bad offensive line and even down and distance averages.

At times it seems RW and other QBs get hit almost immediately after the snap. Id be curious if there are any stats for percentage of pass plays with less than 1.5 second to throw.

wait I thought Wilson held the ball too long according to this he is right where he needs to be.

I continue to hope that Waldron will figure it out by late season. I just hope by then it's not too late.

8 of Wilson's 13 sacks in under 2.5 seconds. That is not good and a huge oline issue. Of course also nothing new.
