Result : When quarterback was willing to hold ball longer in pocket he was able to successful pass the ball for more distance even though it had
taken more time. When he handed off the ball to perform running play it took more time in play, less time in pocket, but less yards. If quarter
back spend more time in pocket for pass play, result may have been more effective for closer field goal or possible score
