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.

      Dan Morgan: Panthers will pickup BY’s 5th year.

      By Johnstonny · Posted

      ....Yea, it literally wiped the smile right off Reichs face. We are kind of in the same position as Shitsburgh, looking for a QB.  They keep looking and trying to improve at qb but we just say: 'nah, we good'. The Dipper agenda keeps BY alive. To bad we didn't give Darnold or Mayfield that kind of time, They at least had the tools, skills and attributes of a QB. Its tough to win in the NFL, at least give yourself a chance.

      I’VE FOUND OUR WR3 (Rashid Shaheed)

      By Car123 · Posted

      Rashid Shaheed Born: Aug 31, 1998 (27 years) Height and weight: Height 6′ 0″, Weight 180 lbs Current team: Seattle Seahawks (#22 / Wide receiver/kick returner) Rashid Shaheed signed a one-year, $5.2 million extension with the Saints in July 2024, keeping him under contract through the 2025 season with a $1M signing bonus and $4.2M base salary in 2025, before being traded to the Seahawks at the 2025 deadline, making him an Unrestricted Free Agent in 2026.   His initial deal was a 2-year, $6.185M contract with $1M guaranteed through 2025.    Rashid Shaheed's scouting report highlights him as an electrifying, big-play deep threat receiver known for elite efficiency on deep routes, explosive plays, and reliable hands (zero drops over multiple seasons), though he's undersized (around 180 lbs) and needs to improve blocking and route running consistency to shed his "situational/boom-or-bust" label and become a full-time WR1/WR2.     Strengths: Elite Deep Threat: Ranks among the league's best in air yards per target and yards per reception, consistently producing 30+ yard catches and touchdowns. Playmaker: "A playmaker" who excels at making plays downfield and adding a vertical dimension to offenses. Reliable Hands: Showcased impressive ball skills with zero drops over recent seasons, even making contested catches. Efficiency: Finishes high in metrics like yards per route run, demonstrating effective production when targeted. Undrafted Gem: A significant value find for the Saints, proving overlooked prospects can excel.      Areas for Improvement: Size/Blocking: At around 180 lbs, he's smaller and less effective as a blocker, which limited his snaps in New Orleans compared to bigger receivers. Route Running: Needs to develop cleaner routes and better consistency in intermediate areas to earn more targets beyond deep shots. Consistency/Role: Often a "boom-or-bust" or situational player due to volume fluctuations, needing more consistent targets to reach WR1 status.      Role/Projection: Schematic Weapon: Stretches defenses, creating space for other players and opening up the run game, making offenses more efficient. Fantasy Profile: A high-upside FLEX or WR4, capable of winning weeks with big plays but dependent on volume and quarterback play. Future Outlook: His value hinges on earning a larger, more consistent role, potentially becoming a true WR2 with more opportunity and development in blocking/route running.
