Can a QB help an Oline?

The question was more designed can Andy manipulate the pocket, buy himself and his receivers time. Quick release means jack when you need to let a play develop. Hell give me the ball and I guarantee I  can release quicker than Andy ever did.

But can anyone do that while still being a good/effective QB? No. That's why you had people like Peyton Manning and Tom Brady at the top of that list, too. It's not just throwing the ball away quickly, it's reading defenses quickly (and before the snap) and then progressing quickly through your reads, or knowing who should be open based off what the defense is showing you.

He's got a quick release, has had a yards per attempt over 7.0 and completion % over 64 the last three years.

You discount it as parroting, but by all means, go out there with your quicker release. I am sure you can do just as well since "anyone" can do it.
