For a throw to the right the righthanded QB must turn his back to the line, leaving open the possibility of a blindside hit or strip sack. Off the top of my head I would have thought a throw to the left would be better since it allows the QB to open up and face the rush. But as most offenses with RH QBs are known as "righthanded" in that they run their plays to the same direction, maybe the point here is keeping the QB comfortable in an uncomfortable part of the field. Love what you're doing with the site guys, keep up the great work. This one sort of surprised me:

Last year, with Brady working with mostly new receivers, I noticed they rarely threw to the middle, other than to the tight ends and Troy Brown. I figured it was for percentage reasons such as the one above. I found this one interesting:
