lol...that's not being "tied" to them though. They are still free to improvise, slide left/right, backpeddle, step-up, etc. I agree that the dropback being interrupted should reflect broken timing though. The realism of pass rushing effects this of course. Blitz recognition (even by receivers in routes) plays a large role in how and when (or even if) a dropback is interrupted. I'm not suggesting Madden's passing game is advancd enough to reflect this realistically yet (As some have already mentioned in another thread, the QB is currently tie to the receiver first, rather than the actual route), but tying the QB to some type of automated dropback would be very unrealistic IMO.
