He obviously wasn't and it has been a nightmare for us. I apologize for bringing Luck into this, I am just impressed that a QB can be play behind a line like this and not get injured.

I haven't watched ATL film or anything so I'm just pulling this out of my ass, but do you remember how Manning used to take a sack? If he saw a guy coming, he collapsed like he took a bullet to the head. I'm curious if Ryan is similar.
That said, 40+ sacks is insane. Your O-line losing and your receivers not creating separation are big factors... but people don't tend to blame QB's enough for a lot of sacks.
