Um...what was your last post about...what preceded your quote?

The statement was made that the Browns QBs are in the bottom of "release times".

 

I asked several questions: A. Who compiles this data,..and where do you find it? i.e. what "list" exists for them to be on the bottom of.

 

B. How is such a thing measured? As I said...from snap, from commencement of their throwing motion...what?

See...it all sounds a bit bogus to me.

It's definitely a legit stats that teams monitor....release time is critical to success.....

 

It is measured from snap to release....pretty basic....

 

The "why" is really more important though.....just a slow release shouldnt be enough to condemn a QB.....

 

Lots of reasons a QB might have a slow release time.....take your pick...

 

1) he has a slow release....(duh)......(blame = QB)

2) he doesnt have good(ie: open) receivers......(blame = WR's).....(and coaching)

3) he could have a slow developing offense.....(blame = coaching)

4) poor field vision or not knowing where to go....(blame = QB)

5) deep drop vs shorty drop vs shotgun.....(blame = coaching)(and QB)

6) play calling.....not adjusting to the QB's needs......(blame = coaching)

 

So....our QB's hold the ball(which we've all known).....I say its a combination of "all the above" and not 1 thing that can be quickly fixed......

7) straight drop vs. roll-out/quarter-roll...

8) situation, i.e., down and distance...

9) straight vs. PAP...

 

And there are probably others, but given that averages are used, a lot of the variables should wash out.

 

The ones that don't? IMO your numbers 4 and 1. How decisive is the QB and how quick is he once he decides.
