^This. And the thing that made his quick release such a weapon is that he seemed to do his check-down reads faster than anyone else.Just IMHO.
No Petty should play the remaining games. And my reply to you was your criticism of people touting Bench QBs and throwing Petty in with walkons and Taj Boyd, a late round flyer pick. A lot of 4th round QB's have gone on to good careers and 4th round picks shouldn't be thrown away.
Regarding obrien................his drops were usually 5/7 steps and in walton's offense pass plays were 60-70% WR reads. If that read was covered, the plays were designed to break off to the back or TE. In 85 and in part of 86 they had a full offense with an intact OL so the QB play was pretty good, most of the time. Injuries killed 86 plus opposing defenses played played heavy man on toon/walker with underneath zones. The wheels started coming off in 87/88/89 primarily due to the OL shuffle and they couldn't replace the older vets with talented new draft picks. They went OL in both 85 and 86 first round, Fullback in 87, and i think OL again in 88. All those picks were just other guys. Imo, Obrien was too deliberate in the pocket from day one. There wasnt enough urgency in the pocket. He was way to dependent on a clean pocket to throw. Yes thats good for accuracy but terrible for avoiding a rush. The jets did try to improve the line but they whiffed on their picks.
