The jist is that Griffin had a passer rating of about 70 when he had 2.5 seconds or more. He says that more time doesn't necessarily equate to being more effective.....
I'm really curious about the "why" on both.
I'm guessing there weren't a ton of 7 step drops called last year. I wonder how many were broken plays.

GP and thanks for passing along the article.
Awhile back I looked into some of the advance metric numbers from PFF and Football Outsiders for our QB group from last year (Rob, Kirk and Colt).
And it tough to boil everything down into a quick sound bite like Keim had in the above article. BUT he's right about the pass protection especially form the TEs and RBs which was terrible.
On the point about Griffin's passer rating 69 (PFF has it at
66 ftr) with 2.5s he's right but it doesn't mean that Griffin neccesarily "struggles" when he has more time. Just for comparison sake Kirk passer rating with 2.5s + is
62 and Colt McCoy is
106.
I think these numbers could be indicative of what happens with our QBs after the initial progression doesn't show open more then how they respond to having more time as Keim said. I think breakdown by time +/- 2.5s shows why Jay likes Colt; the stats seem to indicate Colt is far more productive passer after the first progression and/or when the play breaks down.
On the sacks....Colt actually has the highest sack rate (3.5) in the +2.5s time frame (although only by a hair over Griffin) Kirk had the lowest sack rate
I think this topic could warrant its on thread but...I missed the thread with the previous discussion that I missed and don't want to start another.
Cheers
