One thing that makes the sack total even more impressive is Rex is not a QB that avoids a lot of sacks with mobility like a Vick or Big Ben. What it means is our O line gave up 5 sacks and only five sacks where other O lines are made to look better with pass protection stats inflated because of the mobility of their QBs.Skinsfan55 wrote:Through the first two games the Redskins are the least penalized team in the NFL and they've only allowed 5 sacks.

Funny you talk about Rex not avoiding many sacks then the two names you throw out are guys that are going to go down as two of the most sacked guys in NFL history.Red_One43 wrote:One thing that makes the sack total even more impressive is Rex is not a QB that avoids a lot of sacks with mobility like a Vick or Big Ben.

Based on the stats below. In general mobile QBs do get sacked more. Good Point! That was enlightening.skinsfan#33 wrote:Funny you talk about Rex not avoiding many sacks then the two names you throw out are guys that are going to go down as two of the most sacked guys in NFL history.Red_One43 wrote:One thing that makes the sack total even more impressive is Rex is not a QB that avoids a lot of sacks with mobility like a Vick or Big Ben.

It seems counter intuitive, but mobile QBs are usually some of the most frequently sacked. While statues like P Manning and Dan Marino very seldom take sacks. Some QBs avoid sacks by not taking them.
Now Rex isn't Peyton or Dan, but immobile QBs in general take less sacks than mobile guys.
When a mobile guy scrambles around and avoids a sack everyone notices that he avoided a sack. When a pocket passer stands in the pocket and avoids a sack by getting rid of the ball no one notices that he avoided a sack.
