Very interesting! Kinda goes against current mentality on this site.

For all the talk about Roethlisberger's tendency to hold the ball forever, he ranks in the middle of the pack with an average time of sack of 2.9 seconds, which ranks 19th out of the 33 quarterbacks who have been sacked this season

I'd like to see how this stat progresses throughout the season. And I agree with the comments that there needs to be a control sample of how long the QBs hold onto the ball on every pass. For all of Ben's accolades, which he deserves, he still needs to learn to qucikly hit his receivers better...somethin.

Yes, understand..difficult to believe that we one two SB's with that bum.

Street ball quarterbacking gets you nowhere...I wish we had a robot for a QB like Carson Palmer..awesome stat machine.

i don't trust stats based on only two games' worth of data.

I only trust data from limited resources, it limits any confusion or disparities....
But this is one stat I'd like to follow throughout the season to see how he fares.
