It's not close to the ideal release.

MC's baseball pitcher from the stretch wind up gives defenses plenty of time to blanket the play. AS has a much quicker release and is actually pretty accurate throwing on the run, which is what you need in the NFL.
I'll take a look at his release point over the next month, but I don't recall he had the kind of variables in his motion you describe.
every QB has a couple trajectory points used to make certain types of throws, the good ones are very consistent and decisive as to which trajectory to use during a given play call. this area of AS's game is an area of strength, evidenced by his success throwing on the run.
but I'll keep this in mind as the season gets going.
