I believe aid misunderstood the question. JD isn't asking about velocity, he's asking about release time. Byron Leftwich vs. Peyton Manning = 1 second release time difference, but I bet Leftwich can throw it just as hard if not harder, so, not a strength issue. It's an interesting question since QB's get speed and agility on level ups. Is it just for avoiding pressure? Or does it effect the throwing motion?
I do not know, seems like it would be a hard thing to test since we don't know when throws start, or if it's even a variable Bort has added into the game.
It would be nice to know, just hard to test. I just wanted to clarify what I believe to be the question.
