These numbers show that there is only a few hundreths of second difference, but look at what PFF has to say about these numbers
On the other hand, some of the younger, more mobile quarterbacks in the league such as Cam Newton, Russell Wilson, Colin Kaepernick, and even Andrew Luck have much higher times to throw, and it’s not because they’re getting more time from their line, but moreso because they’re either looking to extend plays with their legs, trying to take more downfield shots, or some combination of both.
That chart has been cropped. Where's the rest of it?
The first column is labeled 2.1-2.5 seconds and lists 22 QBs. The third column is labeled sacks and there were a total of 64, but only 32 sacks are documented for the 22 QBs listed, so who got the other 32 sacks? The fourth column is scrambles, there were a total of 2 scrambles, but not one of the 22 QBs listed scrambled, so which QBs scrambled? Lastly, 2.5 seconds - 2.1 seconds = 0.4 seconds which is pretty damn close to 0.5 seconds.
How the hell can PFF claim these QBs are looking to extend plays with their legs, but not a single one of the 22 QBs listed extended a single play with their legs because according to that chart not a single one of those QBs scrambled a single time? Just another reason why PFF stats are stupid.
