TL has the least time because he's the least respected.

It seems the TL-swifties are all content to believe he's a complete victim of circumstance with no responsibility, as the highest paid player on the squad by a WIIIIIIIIIIIDE margin, to be the best player on the squad by an equally WIIIIIIIIIIIDE margin.  That's a good gig.  Give me $55M a year and I can stink it up like an outhouse as well.  Hell, I'll be unreliable at half that price.

Interesting perspective given statistically he's one of the best deep ball throwers in the NFL and statistically one of the best at getting the ball out fast. He's got the least amount of time to throw because the OL is not good. It's not the only factor but it's obviously the biggest and all objective data leads to that. I can't imagine being a football fan and not being able to easily conclude that this OL is trash and the biggest deficiency on offense. Football has and always will start with blocking.

As I said he's played horrible and he's not the generational QB people thought he would be (including me), but yet he is still the best thing about this football team has going forward which is wild given how he has played this season.

Trevor doesn't have the least amount of time to throw. He is actually tied for 8th for the highest average time between snap and throwing ball or receiving pressure.  He is ranked 23rd in the highest number of hurries with 5. He is tied for 4th in the number of poor passes with 20. He is tied for 4th with Stafford for the number of dropped passes at 6 which is less than Aaron Rogers and more than half that of Deshaun Watson. He is also tied for 14th for the most blitzed QB having faced 27. He is ranked 26th in QBR when you only count players who have played all 3 games. He is ranked 29th in completion percentage compared to all the other QB's who have played all 3 games so far and 25th in total passing yards.

We can try to point the blame everywhere else, but there really aren't any excuses. Trevor has just been playing like a bottom tier QB so far this season. I hope he gets back on top of his game.
