Yes, you already said that. And I think it's not that simple.

If your receivers aren't getting separation, it doesn't matter how quick you get the ball out. And if your QB isn't a running threat and everybody in the stadium knows where the QB will be, it's even harder sustain blocks. It takes more than wishful thinking and just releasing the ball quickly to see tremendous improvement. It's certainly a plus, but it won't be tremendous without appreciable improvements elsewhere - including offensive scheme (which was utterly incoherent last year).

Having QBs that get the ball out quickly will help tremendously!**

It'll help some but it was still a yin-yang thing. Both were "sub-optimal".**

Poor QB, poor scheme, injuries....lot of reasons for poor pass pro

New offensive scheme, great TE room, Q Brown will help a lot**

I also think we upgraded our receivers across the board.**

And can actually pass the ball instead of throwing it into the dirt, over
