LOL. Dak had a 3.1 Time to Throw number, higher than all but 4 guys. He was holding the ball too long.

Average time to throw is a fairly meaningless stat. Quarterbacks typically hold the ball longer when they buy time scrambling. It's not a coincidence that scrambling quarterbacks are among the leaders in "average time to throw." That's why guys like Dak, Russell Wilson and Aaron Rodgers are always among the leaders in "time to throw."

I agree with that for the most part. However, in Dak's case, it's also indicative (when combined with watching his plays) of the fact that he doesn't get the ball out on time, and his movement in the pocket is mostly straight to run instead of shifting/sliding allowing him to stay balanced so he can throw.
