OUR PASSING GAME---ANOTHER LOOK

Remember, he turned down the job here because he didn't like the offense. Presumably he felt he wouldn't do well here.

Are, and to what extent, are quarterbacks responsible for the sacks that they take?

On their cumulative offensive summary page, PFF assigns individual players responsibility for allowing sacks, and yes, PFF does assign responsibility for sacks to quarterbacks.

The answer to my question would appear to be: Yes, some sacks on the quarterback.

I went through PFF's cumulative offensive summary pages, and compiled the numbers of sacks that were "on the quarterback."

The table below shows the results.

Thought it was interesting, it seems how often a QB is sacked is almost directly related to his style of play. The immobile quick release pocket passer types Marino and Peyton Manning both were sacked the least once in every 31 attempts. QBs with high rushing yards Steve Young (every 11.58 times) Kaepernick (every 11.66 times) Michael Vick (every 10.5), Russell Wilson (every 10.94 times). The last 10 years the average QB was sacked once for every 19.23 attempts. I could not believe the skilled running types got sacked at double the average. That is obviously the result of holding the ball an excessive amount of time to try to make something happen. I had figured their running skills would negate a lot of the excessive holding of the ball, it does not.

I'm with you dtg, I hate to see more than one guy call plays...one guy only.

I actually learned that years ago. I remember some stat that Dan Marino was one of the least sacked QBs. When you watch the immobile QBs in the pocket, they usually are very good in maneuvering amidst the chaos in the pocket. It is really a sight to behold. It would be great if Kap could develop that level of poise.
