Sam Darnold was responsible for 11.0% of total pressures

11th is still borderline middle of the pack though. I don't see much significance in this.

Yeah, I don't know how significant it is.  

They did have a ton of pressures, so knowing that Sam wasn't the cause of ~90% of them is a good thing.

It’s kind of pointless because he also made bad decisions… So he got rid of the ball quickly but it’s wasn’t always the right pass to make?

Lets say, that 90% of the pressures were his fault because he held on too long... bringing him here won't help as much.

I wouldn't say pointless, but it just supports what we already suspected, that his pressures were due to bad o-line play.

You're right, this is not anything to get excited about.

I will say he does seem to avoid pressure pretty well and extend plays with his legs. Lords knows he got plenty of chances to do so in NY.

I had not heard that holding the ball too long was a knock on him it was correctly deciding where to go with it. Once you get to that it becomes a question of how often did he go through his reads. That would offer us a better sense of the relevance of data like this.

Its not something you hear about anybody.  Who tops the list for causing the most pressure?

I'm curious where Teddy would be in that list too. He probably got the ball out quicker than most.

I'm spouting this from memory, and in a vacuum the numbers probably don't mean much.

The league average time to release was right at 2.75 seconds.  Darnold's was 2.85 seconds.  Teddy was right about 2.6, I think, and if I remember right he was fourth or so.  I remember his time was in line with but a little faster than Brees.

I say the numbers don't mean much in a vacuum because a QB with a strong, clean pocket for 2.75 seconds is a lot different than a guy running for his life to get it off in 2.85 seconds.

For comparison, Mayfield's was the longest at around 3.2.  If my memory is correct, Mahomes was a shade under 3. 

Haskins was the fastest, I think.  Of course, you don't need much time to make a lousy decision.

      Outside of cerrato, I do like our draft overall. Hard to get can't miss draft picks when you pick late in the draft

      Not a Moore fan-but he had a few good games last year-but I want players that scare you--Renfrow's route running and intelligence, Legette's size, speed, and strength, AT's intelligence and route running, Coker's body control, strong hands, and abilty to win contested catches, and TMac's size, body control, and ability to find soft spots in zone coverages.  Horn gives them the ability to stretch the field and he plays special teams.   Moore has a nice smile and can dance.  He filled in well last season, but to get better as a team, you have to upgrade your players.  I think Moore is a bottom of the roster guy who got bumped when we drafted 2 WRs and signed a legit free agent.  Here is the thing--TMac makes us better because he is great against the zone--man?  Good luck with that.  AT's role can be reduced, and that is probably a good thing.  He can specialize in situational football. Coker?  Just getting started. XL?  Just getting started.  Drafting TMac was probably a bit of a wake up call, but XL will be better as the 2. Renfrow?  I see him splitting reps with AT--keeping both fresh and giving different looks. Horn?  Watch the safety cheat his side when he is in the game--I see a young Steve Smith type in him, but he has yet to play a game.  I hear that Morgan loves him.
