In watching other teams play, I never see other QBs hold onto the ball as long as he does for as many plays as he does. Not even close. He does this even in games where the opponent is weak.
Herbstreit said our receivers were getting open but that Book had to throw it sooner. It's almost as if the game still goes too fast for him and it takes him a while to process the receiver is open. By the time he does, it's too late.
A perfect example is the misfire to Davis. Davis broke wide open, but instead of throwing him the ball immediately, Book took another 3-4 steps before doing so.
