A QB can not be "avoiding pressure" if he is not "under pressure". The "time to throw" is supposed to measure the pass protection.
O-linemen used to get blamed for sacks even when they held their blocks plenty long enough just because the QB held the ball too long. One of the main points of these "next gen stats" was to specifically measure how quickly defenders beat blocker so that they can judge "pass protection" SEPERATE from what the QB does under pressure. A QBs ability to avoid pressure does not effect how quickly the pass rush applies pressure to him.
Plus Finley is not avoiding or extending anything. He is getting sacked at a much higher rate (10.3) than Dalton (7.9).
