Played QB in HS. Admittedly, that's not at Marshall's level, but I've thrown a ball in places other than my back yard.

On certain throws QB's are taught to grab the ball and throw as quick as possible.

No kidding? New information to the masses! Thanks!
Arm angle typically indicates whether or not a QB is in "catch & release" mode or not. Marshall's angle and stance in each of the three pics indicate he is in his drop (i.e. - NOT catch and release throws).

In Gun on deep routes you also have time to find laces.

My entire point was that Marshall isn't your typical QB in the way he holds (or doesn't hold) laces. By comparison, here's Jeremy Johnson:
Laces, laces, laces




Look up images of almost any QB throwing. Ball placement is consistent in the vast majority. Marshall is the exception.
