Allen’s ranks for 2020 and 2021 were 48th and 44th. But in 2022, under new offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey, Allen has lept all the way to 14th in the NFL in average time to throw, currently sitting at 2.62 seconds.
His career arc in average time to throw:


2018 - 3.20 seconds
2019 - 2.94 seconds
2020 - 3.04 seconds
2021 - 2.89 seconds

After years of talking about how the Bills lacked yards after catch as a team, they currently rank fourth in the NFL with 445 yards after catch. Ball placement is a big factor in obtaining yards after the catch, but time to throw remains an underrated contributor as well.

So with Allen getting the ball out faster and the Bills getting more damage done from their receiving targets once the ball is in their hands, Buffalo’s offense is well-positioned to deal with the defenses that currently populate the league and the way they will likely continue to be played by many teams.
