Here's an article that touches on that topic on a league wide basis.

Andy had the fastest average release time in the NFL this year at 2.20.

The problem with that question is all teams seem to be going to a quick release point.. some QBs might be better than others, but you could ask that same question for about every team in this era.    Andy is just a bit better than other QBs at the release time..
