Don't need to explain. Watch the replay. Get out your stopwatch. He completed his 3 step drop with time to spare before the sack.
Better yet. You do a 3 step drop and time yourself.
And remember, Goff ran 40 yards in 4.8 seconds.
Logistics. It takes absolute perfect mechanics and a clean pocket to perform a three step drop in under 2.5 second at a distance further than 15 yards. Proper wind up, proper step in to provide the appropriate accuracy and distance. Goff did not have that.
Average Time To Throw in the NFL is 2.65 seconds.
Derek Carr is at 2.24 seconds with a 101.2 rating.
Look at the replay. Goff completed his 3 step drop. If he's not going to throw the ball on the third step from a shotgun snap (7 step depth as B&G mentioned), he needs to step up and reset his feet. The announcers even mentioned this.
Good new is that Goff is getting better at it.
