Through week 9, which QB has been sacked the most? (1 Viewer)

Don't peek.

He's already been sacked 29 times and is on pace to be sacked over 50 times for the season.

 
Without peaking. Is it Rodgers?

I know Cardinals have a terrible O-Line

I heard this stat on Sunday but.... I can't remember who it was.

I'm guessing it's one of Roethlisberger, Romo, Rodgers, Dalton, since they were in those games I remember hearing audio on. I'm guessing it's not Skelton since he has not played the whole year.

I've noticed that Dallas is between Jax & KC for most FF points allowed to DST's so I'll go: Things Romo does for $100, Alex.

 
Gotta be Rodgers... that Seattle game they sacked him 8 times in one half. I'd guess Cutler is up there too.

One great point about this though is that while Rodgers has taken a lot of sacks, he hasn't taken a ton of direct hits. Not than any sack is a "good sack" but his athleticism often allows him to mitigate much of the blow.

Rodgers also stays in there and makes killer plays at the last moment, which leads to a style where he'll be hit more. The guy has a ton of courage. Our culture has been so obsessed with stats that we're losing the human confrontation element... with 4-6 250+ QB-hating monsters bearing down on you, it's pretty impressive to keep eyes downfield at all times to find the open guy. Very few QBs, even at the NFL level, have that kind of courage. Rodgers is on the short list.

I peeked. Wasn't surprised by #1 and #2, but I was shocked by #3. Given the games played, that's ridiculous.

The real answer is Kolb/Skelton -- FORTY ONE sacks in 9 games. Absolutely insane. I believe that would be the NFL record if the pace continues through the rest of the season.

 
I guess this sorta explains why Zona got out of the Manning sweepstakes. No point paying Peyton and his surgically-repaired neck, if you can't keep him upright.
