First of all McCarron holds the ball A LOT longer than Dalton.

Second, in addition to "sacks" there are also stats for "hurries" and "throws under pressure".  Those stats have nothing to do with a QBs release time.  According to Football outsiders Dalton had the lowest "pressure rate" of the 37 QBs that had at least 200 pass attempts in '15.

He had such low pressure rate because he was throwing the ball faster. You can't pressure the passer when he doesn't have the ball in his hands. That's why McCarron had more sacks and pressure than Dalton, and McCarron only held onto the ball for less than a second longer than Dalton. You can try to argue with it, but the fact that McCarron made the OL have some of the worst stats in the league when he was in should say something pretty huge. One of the best OLs doesn't go to one of the worst like that unless someone was covering their mistakes like Dalton was.
