Here's a chart showing average time to depth for starters. Bottom scale is time and Left scale is yards.
Hopefully our OL can gel as the season goes on so that he has more time to go through all of his progressions before being forced to get the ball out.
That chart confuses me- the "depth of target" part would be dictated by the formation/play call, the receiver's release and route, etc. I mean, it's great that Tua is throwing an average of 9 yards in less than 2.5 seconds, but I don't know if that tells us anything after just one game (or at all, really). For instance, Tua's best throws last week were almost instant releases to Parker and Waddle on 1-yard slant passes. Do we care how long the initial distance was if it goes for 10+ yards after the catch? I think if anything, these combined stats say more about the line than the QB- Baker Mayfield is throwing at the 3.2 second mark because he actually has 3.2 seconds. We don't.
You can't infer that we don't have the same amount of time. Just be cause he got rid of it fast doesn't mean he had to get rid of it fast.
