One thing a lot of people criticize Caleb Williams for, is him holding on to the ball too long. His "Time to Throw" stat last season at USC was 3.16 seconds. For his entire college career his TTT averaged as 3.27 seconds. I noticed that he did reduce that time every season in college, from 3.51 seconds in 2021 to 3.16 average last year.
One stat from last year that stood out to me was Bryce Young's sack stats where he led the league in sacks that happened in less than 2.5 seconds. His interior OL was really bad last season and all too often he was roadkill in a heartbeat after the snap.
Oh, and I hear people saying Mahomes holds on to the ball too long too... and he does do that more than most QB's trying to extend plays. But his career TTT is 2.86 seconds. That is a whole lot quicker than Caleb's 3.16 seconds. And if you are curious as to how this compares with Justin Fields, his career average TTT is 3.32 (yeah, really really bad).
Do you expect Caleb will be getting the ball out a lot quicker this year? This game on Sunday will be a fascinating one to watch on many levels. But I am really curious to see how Shane Waldron sets up the game plan to face what looks to be a tough pass rush (a really solid DL).
