I would image the release stat takes into account every drop back. So no matter the deep throws. On average we are getting the ball out faster than damn near everybody.
Dalton's "average release time" is less than half a second quicker than half the QBs in the league. If there was poor protection he would still be taking a lot of hits or have guys all over him a half second before he released the ball. And that just is not happening.
Plus "Average release time" is thown out of proportion by scrambling QBs. It has zero to do with pass protection.
