LOLOL, probably not as strongly as you thought but hey, I simply follow the numbers.

We’ve only gotten 2 roughing the passer calls in the last 2 years and only 5 in the last 3 years. Y’all have had 4 and 7 in those same spans. Both teams only had 1 this year.

Yes, but the opposition gets to our QB more often than your QB.   Brees gets rid of the ball quicker and he is often seen throwing out of something called a "pocket."  We don't have those in Carolina.

What's his number?

I'll give him a call right now.

The one flaw in that argument is that Tom Brady doesn't really seem to be all that marketable. The few advertising campaigns he was part of were duds or had him in non-speaking roles.

On the flipside, nobody's been more marketable than Peyton. Hell, he's still getting jobs.

He may not be the most marketable but he is one of those clean cut guys with a super model wife. Pretty sure he has 2.4 kids too.

What about Mahomes?

Yeah, he's new but everybody loves him. 

According to some only half of him gets protected.

The illegal hit below the knees became a rule after Carson Palmer's lower leg was broken in, I think, his last season with the Bengals. So not all the rule changes came because of "golden" boys. And they still don't call that rule equally even after all these years.

As for Brees vs Newton, go watch all the games in that time period and count how many hits they both took that weren't called that should've been called. Then we'll talk numbers.

NFL officiating is literally the worst in all of sports.  Unbelievable that stuff like this continues to go down.  It's painfully obvious which QBs are given preferential treatment.

They tweaked the rule after Tom tore ligaments because of a hit like that. It was referred to by fans as the "Brady Rule" after that(although the rule itself had already existed).

If that’s the case, then Cam Newton is right there with him considering the Panthers have been the beneficiary of 30 roughing the passer calls since 2011 and the Saints have only had 25 in the same span.

Change the year in the link to go year by year and add them up.

That's not really the right way to process those numbers. You need to account for the times a QB is hit(which would give you a rate) and probably include a sample of three golden boy QB's and three more mobile QB's over that span. Since you would have a rate, a shorter career length would work, although anything less than 3-4 seasons would probably be my cut off.

Isn't this the same guy that said the Lord told him to divorce his first wife and marry that model he was dating at the time?

Yeah......he's got it all together............

They officiate white QBs differently than QBs of color. Everyone with a brain knows this to be true - and Panthers fans BETTER know this considering the crap Cam has been put through. 

I think there is some amount of truth to that historically, although I wonder if that has become less the case over the years. The data exists to actually be able to study that.

[cbully]

Wow, just a few years when Cam was being targeted didn't Wilson say... Nevermind smh

[BrianS]

Seems to me that "mobile" QB's tend to get fewer of the calls.  Big Ben doesn't seem to get very many for example.  I am constantly baffled by Rodgers though, he gets the calls while still having good mobility.
