No doubt our line needs to be better but No quarterback has a line that will allow him to stand in the pocket for that long. He absolutely, unequivocally, needs to throw the ball away when necessary. Overall I am happy with Sam, but he has a serious problem with his internal clock.

Which has been a career long issue for him pre-NFL

Sure it can. Arm strength cannot be coached. Getting rid of the ball certainly can. Literally run drills in practice where the damn idea is to throw the ball away?
He has to come to the realization that a loss of down is better than a loss of down + a loss of yardage. It is just a stubbornness thing.
