Gotta be both. But damn, that will make a man age rather quickly..

Wouldn't matter. The fact that he's being hit that much more than guys like Big Ben and Crapernick says a whole lot. They aren't getting pounded in the pocket like he is.

[ThinkAboutIt]

He gets hit more because he runs more but most of the big hits hes taken this season have come when in the pocket.

Because his running game sucks without him running it. Who's fault is that?

[Swaggasaurus]

He is responsible for some of those, he gets pressured more than anyone, bit has bad pocket awareness and holds the ball all damn day. Perfect storm

[Pejorative Miscreant]

Is he including rushing attempts or just in the pocket? Feel like this has been discussed before.

 

you are right that this has been discussed.  I believe the hits included hits up to 2 or 3 (I dont recall the exact #)  yards past the line of scrimmage.

He is responsible for some of those, he gets pressured more than anyone, bit has bad pocket awareness and holds the ball all damn day. Perfect storm

Also the fact that he still doesn't slide. And a bunch of SLOWLY DEVELOPING plays. When do the Panthers ever go da-da-da-pass 3 quick steps & pop passes? Rarely if ever.

[Mother Grabber]

Almost twice that of the next guy on the list.

 

(who, appropriately enough, plays for David Carr's old team)

 

so does Cam, technically...

[tiger7_88]

Cam hits/sacks: 531

 

If Cam could slide: 300

 

But he does slide.

 

He just doesn't slide the way Coach Chaos wants him to slide. 

[Mr. Scot]

Oy

I bet you this number will go down if we use the zone read 30 times next week right?

[WhoAmI?]

That number is that high for multiple reasons. We have run him a lot during his 4 years here, our O-line has been average or horrible his whole career, doesn't get the ball out quick enough, holds the ball too long, and doesn't slide on some occasions. All of those things start to add up and you end up being the most sacked or hit QB in the NFL. He's not going to last very long so I hope people enjoyed him while he played because it already is looking like his wheels are depreciating.

[Snake]

Its just not acceptable no matter what the circumstances are. If DG does not get help next year I will question if he needs to go as well.

[BuffaloBills62]

Is he including rushing attempts or just in the pocket? Feel like this has been discussed before.

Also, worth noting that Fitzpatrick and Alex Smith both shared time over the last 4 years.

 

If both players started every game for their teams over the last 4 years they may be closer.

 

Of note, Flacco is interesting on this list. 

[BuffaloBills62]

Because his running game sucks without him running it. Who's fault is that?

His, because he won't throw it away.

[CRA]

His, because he won't throw it away.

Did you read what you responded to?

What does throwing it away have to do with him having a joke of rush attack....that he can't play off of?
