I was just showing a legitimate stat that correlates with how long a QB holds onto a football. Time to Throw measures the average time it takes for a QB from the snap to release. 

Because we are discussing offensive linemen that stat effects their pass protection not the other way around. Since you mentioned Dalton he had one of the worst lines in the NFL and his time to throw was 2.61 seconds which was 5th lowest meaning he got the ball out of his hands very quickly. It also kept his sack stats down even though the line gave up a ton of pressures. Josh Allen held on to the football it's a fact 3.22 seconds is high.

These are Next Gen Stats. https://nextgenstats.nfl.com/stats/passing#average-time-to-throw
One of the cute blondes shows them on the NFL network. 

I just happened upon this and it reminded me of this convo (sorry as its OT) but it backed up the context point. 

 "Allen individually was pressured at the league’s second-highest clip (43.4%) behind only Deshaun Watson (44.9%)."

Maybe that held on to the ball stat was inflated by the fact he was often running for his life. It is tough to just isolate 1 stat with no context and act as its a definite. That said, it may be sinilar to how some folks like comp% as a gauge of accuracy and others believe it has very little to do w how accurate a qb is. Fun stuff to debate though!
