I won't continue belaboring this after this post. I'm sure everyone is tired of it by now. 
 But A -  Fields pocket time is 2.8 seconds (not 4)  which is still one of the longest in the league after two weeks. 

It is longer than many QBs because he is very slow making reads/decisions and his coordinator doesn't dial up many quick hit plays for him. (when he does, Fields is still not quick with the release) 

The stat has LOTS to do with the OL because many of these timed "snap to release" measurements are determined by pressure.  The definition of the stat is the time between snap and either release OR pressure. Whichever come first. Many times, it is pressure that occurs first.  

If you watch Fields cut-up from week 2  you'll see the line looks a lot like our own and Fields just holds the ball for an eternity at times. (Fields interior line actually holds up at the point of attack in terms of pocket better than the Jags line, but I digress)

Watch this Fields week 2 cut-up and imagine that line facing Chris Jones. Would look eerily similar to what we watched last week.
