**Cough** New Orleans **cough**

All *but* one....

I would love to see what he could do on the defensive line two or three snaps per game. Talk about the ability to destroy a pocket! I bet he could.

I know this stat can be a little misleading at looking at an offensive line's effectiveness (the QB can have a big impact on sack numbers by holding onto the ball too long), but thought I would share the number of times these QB's were sacked during their first 3 years of their playing career as a full time starter:

Player A: Year 1 - 22, Year 2 - 14, Year 3 - 20; Total first 3 years: 56

Player B: Year 1 - 41, Year 2 - 31, Year 3 - 32; Total first 3 years: 104

Player C: Year 1 - 41, Year 2 - 32, Year 3 - 27; Total first 3 years: 100



Any guesses who was sacked the most over the first 3 years of their career - between Manning, Brady, and Luck?




Player A was Peyton. :cool:

Player C was Andrew. :eek:

Player B was Tommy the Cheater. :eek: Pretty amazing that the numbers for Luck and the Cheater were almost identical with the slight edge to Brady.


I would have included QB hits and other stats but didn't find a resource that went back 20 years (I only did a quick search - I may still look for one). NFL.com only tracks QB hits back to 2009.

If he has any brains he skips your posts

99.9 % are still in the league because they ignore you

He had a decent line last year. Unfortunately, the damage was done

In my rat's ass of an opinion, the Jets' upset win over the Cowboys this afternoon was as surprising and unexpected as was the Colts' upset win over the Chiefs last week ........ neither team was given much of a chance to keep their respective games close, let alone actually win them.

Agree, the Texans win over the Chiefs was surprising (maddeningly so) to me as well. Would have loved to have Houston come here next week a game back from us.

I think still if we beat them we will take over 1st in the division with both of us at 4-2 but with us a better record in the division.

Texans at 8-27 all time against us, 2-13 in Indy.

We'll be half a game ahead of the Texans if we beat them next week. The Colts are currently 3-2, and the Texans are currently 4-2.

Believe it or not, the Colts were bigger underdogs against the Chiefs (10.5 point dogs) than the Jets were to the Cowboys (7 point dogs), so in that sense our win is even more impressive.

Did anyone else realize there's like 6 former colts players on the jets, mostly on D?
Henry Anderson
Tarell Basham
Nate Hairston
Matthias Farley
Arthur Maulet

and on offense, back up center
Jonotthan Harrison

Is Grigson working for them? ;)

I have called them Colts East a few times.

Ballard hired Rex Hogan away from the Jets when he was setting up his Colts front office / organization. Hogan has since departed the Colts and returned to the NY Jets organization for a higher position of Assistant General Manager (basically the Jets 2nd in command in their front office). So Hogan has a very good knowledge of current and former Colts players and how they could fit in their locker room.

I believe it.

I don't necessarily agree that the Colts' win was more impressive and/or more surprising because of the fact that the odds-makers said so. The Colts had at least played some pretty good football in 3 out of their previous 4 games against the Chargers, the Titans, and the Falcons, whereas the Jets were a complete mess in all of their previous games prior to their win over the Cowboys, with the exception of their season opener against the Bills ........ and it appears to be no coincidence that those are the only 2 games in which Sam Darnold played in.
