Question about QB throwing mechanics

Here's what I think goes on, I never had the privelage of seeing a game in person that Gibbs coached so I could see the whole field and the entire play unfold to really get a defienate feel, but my thought is this, Gibbs pass routes take a little more time to develope, he makes his QB's look deep first, the QB knows this will take a little extra time, he also know's he only has so much time, he know's Gibbs want's him to hang in the pocket, the problem arrises in the QB's head that he has waited so long for a WR to break that if he's not open he's in big trouble, which breeds happy feet, the QB starts moving his feet in anticipation of a quick get away, or to try and cushion the blow he thinks he's about to take, the entire offense really has to earn the trust of the QB before he's effective, it's a beautiful thing when all cylinders are firing, as well as almost unstoppable as we have seen in other season's with Gibbs, but it's not easy by any means, this is not a west coast offense where the QB is getting the ball out of there after 3 steps, you can't get by with a week arm in Gibbs offense, even if your a running QB your limited by the structure of the passing game and need to stay put in the pocket for the offense to really excel. I do believe it's something along those lines.
