Zay (and others)  run wide open frequently downfield every week pointlessly while Trevor evades pressure and can't deliver it to them on time.

You latch onto one stat, ignoring all others or any context, and try to build an entire narrative off it. It’s pretty funny to watch, actually.

Which starting QB is the best in the league because he’s got the longest pressure time at 2.6 seconds?  Yeah, that’s right.  Justin Fields.

Which starting QB has exactly the same pressure time as TL so has exactly the performance.  Oh, that’s right. Joe Burrow.

Burrow’s stats are actually quite interesting and a lesson in context.  JB and TL each average 2.3 seconds from snap to throw or pressure.  JB has been sacked 30 times, TL 17.  JB has been knocked down 30 times, TL 22.  So he’s really under the pump, eh?

And now the interesting thing happens.  JB has been hurried just 11 times while TL has been 23 times. Wait, you mean JB is staying in the pocket and taking hits in order to orchestrate the play while TL flees rather than stand fast?  No, colour me surprised!  I must be seeing things wrong, surely JB is facing far more difficult rushes.  Nope.  JB has been blitzed 57 times and TL 81.  It almost like the opposition knows they can flush out the rabbit with just a little pressure.

But JB doesn’t have time to throw deep,either, right?  Just like you claim with TL?  Yet again, another attempted narrative busted.

Completions. 10+.   20+.   30+.  40+.   50+

JB.                96.      29.     12.     8.       4
TL.                97.      24.      6.      2.       0

But, but, but surely JB is throwing the ball even more than TL.  And again, wrong. JB has 333 attempts, TL has 348.

And yes, the QB ratings reflect the performance disparity.  So I call your attempt to deflect all of TL’s shortcomings onto the line busted.  The determinative factor in QB performance is not the number of seconds before he’s pressured.  It’s his actual performance.  TL is on a Terry Bridgewater career path.

Since when do we have a Jamarr Chase or Tee Higgins sprinting downfield? Are those air yards, or YPC? Do you honestly think Trevor would not excel with guys like Boyd and Higgins and Chase running down the sidelines (assuming the line could block any better than Cincy's has)? Both QBs are unable to unload for the very same reason. Their lines are failing. We just have an advantage of a more mobile QB to either tuck and run or fire to an outlet instead of eat a sack. Yay us.

Terry Bridgewater. Good One. Is he as good as Zak Prescott?
