20 QBs averaged a release time of under 2.5 seconds in 2015
.. up from seven QBs in the 2012 who had that average speed.

Not surprised at all. Smith has an excellent delivery.
Dumbasses (many whom are no longer around thankfully) liked bashing on him because he was a Niner retread in a long line of Niner to Chiefs retreads, but he is a pretty darn good QB who's done extremely well for this team. |

Going to see more and more of that. Pass rushers are so unbelievably fast and athletic that QBs have to get rid of it quick as possible if they don't want to be crippled.

Also puts a premium on WRs that have the quickness to get open off breaks, without having to run themselves open because it takes too long.

Sutton thinks that you should give the WR's a 10 yard cushion when a QB gets rid of the ball quickly.
Wade Phillips disagrees. Last edited by notorious; 02-21-2016 at 03:31 PM.. |

Sure, but it takes him 6.4 seconds to realize he has the ball.

Smith was one of the fastest but he still got sacked almost more than any other QB in the league. Tells you what you need to know about the state of the current OL. Please find a solid starter at RT.

A quick release can be a blessing and a curse. It can also show an inability to go through progressions. Something I don't think Alex Smith is particularly good at. He may bail into a checkdown faster than he should. I'm sure it also has a lot to do with pre-designed quick plays, as the Chiefs run a hell of a lot of quick WR screens. Smith surprised me in being better at the pre-snap stuff (the Brady quick release). But he's not elite at this by any means.
So it's hard to read anything into this. Except to just hope Reid gives more and more control to Smith to make pre-snap reads and that Smith try to control games instead of managing them. When those things happen, good things seem to happen. But both seem to fall back to old ways more often than I'd like. |

3 of those 5 guys are check down artists; so it makes sense why their release is so fast as its clearly part of their offensive scheme.
Really only Brady is the one quick releasing to expose the match up at the LOS. |
