PlayoffsPlease Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Being last the release time stat isn't a good thing. The Bills propensity for holding penalties certainly is impacted by this. http://espn.go.com/blog/green-bay-packers/post/_/id/26079/beat-the-clock-aaron-rodgers-quicker-release-helps-packers-offense-improve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sisyphean Bills Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 This doesn't surprise me. It's a weakness. The silver lining, though, is all of the bombs he has completed.

The Frankish Reich Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 This doesn't surprise me. It's a weakness. The silver lining, though, is all of the bombs he has completed. Isn't this related to the average length of pass? You throw a higher percentage of long bombs than most QBs, your average time to release is going to be greater.

thebandit27 Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 It's one of his 3 deficiencies IMO: 1) ball must come out quicker 2) must see the middle of the field better 3) climb the pocket to safety instead of breaking it The good news is that all 3 can be improved as the game slows down for him. I don't know that he'll improve enough to be THE guy, and that's why you draft another potential guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, would add that Roman's pass offense takes a bit longer for the patterns to develop than some teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point. Some of that is WR based, as once Harvin went out, the team lacked another WR besides Watkins that can get open in the 1st 3 steps of a route Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach Tuesday Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Actually this is inaccurate - he has a quick release from a mechanical standpoint. He holds the ball too long before deciding where to throw it. But - he has started ELEVEN NFL GAMES. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Linen Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Not totally unexpected from a Rookie QB (essentially). This stat doesn't bother me at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prickly Pete Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 There are all kinds of factors, but just by watching, you can see that he holds the ball for a long time, and often takes too long to make a decision. He will get better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They ought to change the scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanC883 Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Not totally unexpected from a Rookie QB (essentially). This stat doesn't bother me at all. same here. I think this is common from first year starters. Also, when he is running in the pocket, that likely also increases the release time. Big Ben prob had a high release time his first year or two. Was the most sacked QB. Not saying he will become Ben, but the stat is not a killer. He's not Rob Johnson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well he is much worse than the other first year starters like winston and mariotta, who are actual rookies not 4 year vets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 (edited) It's one of his 3 deficiencies IMO: 1) ball must come out quicker 2) must see the middle of the field better 3) climb the pocket to safety instead of breaking it The good news is that all 3 can be improved as the game slows down for him. I don't know that he'll improve enough to be THE guy, and that's why you draft another potential guy Agreed on all counts. I will go a step further. I would extend him as if he were the guy. We have had no one close to him in production for years. Unless the guy we draft surpasses him and proves it, I hang onto TT.
