It would be interesting to see this reduced to a parity number since the offense of Dallas probably had fewer offensive plays than most teams.

When the QBs are told to check down, not that surprising.

There are only five QB with fewer pressures per dropback than Dallas QB (Carr, Brees, Dalton, Hoyer, Roethlisberger), and all five of them get the ball out in an average of less than 2.5 seconds.

None of our four QB this year average less than 2.5 seconds from snap to pass attempt. Although they've been throwing a lot of underneath stuff, they haven't been getting rid of it quickly.
Per Percy and PFF.

A check down doesn't mean you are telling them to get it out quickly. This just means the long developing crap didn't work and they were trying to avoid risk. This is not and never has been a quick passing game under Garrett.

What does that have to do with pressures?

Pressures are directly correlated to how long you hold the ball and Dallas QB's were all in the top 10 of holding the ball the longest.

No, pressures are basically "near sacks". A pressure doesn't have to come within 2.5 seconds or 4.5. If the passer is forced to get rid of the ball to avoid the sack and is "hurried" to get rid of his pass, it is recorded as a pressure.

It is all subjective nonsense anyways.

Look, not saying that the OL didn't do an okay job. But why we are grasping onto whatever positives to try to salvage one of the worst passing attacks in team history, I will never know.

I think the point is we aren't avoiding pressure stats simply by getting the ball out quickly. The pass protection has in no way been the problem this year. It's shitty QB play and that's about it. Now the defense has some issues too but that's a story for another day.

Now this is a legitimate argument. When you aren't converting third downs all of your offensive numbers will be down. Sort of like our rushing statistics this year would look a shit ton better if we had a QB that could actually convert third downs and allow us more rushing attempts.
