That is why I am continually amazed at how the steelers line is so poorly rated. Their QB holds on the the ball all day, and he ususallyhas good protection.
I don't think you understand how this works.
QB A gets good protection and gets rid of the ball.
QB B gets poor protection and has to scramble before throwing the ball.
Neither QB gets sacked, but QB A has a quicker release time.
Based on your logic QB B had "better" protection because his release time was longer, but in fact his release time was longer because he got "worse" protection.
