Uhhhh….hello MOJO!

Had a great scrimmage and last tune up before our first game. Excited for my senior year and what this team can do.

Anyone arguing that sack rate is not heavily tied to the quarterback is fighting a losing proposition. Among quarterbacks with at least 4,500 combined regular season and postseason pass attempts, the five lowest combined sack rates in NFL history belong to: Dan Marino: 3.13% Peyton Manning: 3.19% Drew Brees: 3.83% Tom Brady: 4.42% Patrick Mahomes: 4.64% Now look at what happened to their franchises before, during and after their tenures. DAN MARINO Same team and same season: 1983 David Woodley: 10.1% 1983 Dan Marino: 3.3% Marino in 1984: 2.3% Marino's final season: 2.4% 2000 Dolphins after he retired: 6.2% PEYTON MANNING Indianapolis: 1997 Colts: 10.6% 1998 rookie Peyton: 3.7% 2010 Peyton: 2.3% 2011 Colts without Peyton: 6.2% 2012 Andrew Luck: 6.1% Denver: 2011 Broncos: 8.9% 2012 Peyton arrives: 3.5% 2015 Peyton: 4.6% 2016, first season after retirement: 6.6% DREW BREES New Orleans: 2005 Saints: 6.9% 2006 Brees arrives: 3.1% 2020 Brees: 3.2% 2021 Saints after he retired: 6.8% PATRICK MAHOMES Kansas City: 2017 Alex Smith: 6.5% 2018 Mahomes: 4.3% Same 2019 Chiefs team: Patrick Mahomes: 3.4% Matt Moore: 8.1% Mahomes' sack rate has climbed in each of the last two seasons: 2023: 4.3% 2024: 5.8% 2025: 6.3% That trend is worth watching as he returns from the major knee injury. TOM BRADY New England's injury test: 2007 Brady: 3.5% 2008 Matt Cassel: 8.3% 2009 Brady: 2.8% New England when Brady left: 2019 Brady: 4.2% 2020 Patriots: 7.8% Tampa Bay: 2019 Jameis Winston: 7.0% 2020-22 Brady: 3.1% 2023-25 Baker Mayfield: 6.5% Joe Burrow is a notable quarterback who has not been associated with a decreased sack rate. 2019 Bengals before Burrow: 7.2% 2020 rookie Joe Burrow: 7.3% Same 2025 Bengals team: Joe Burrow: 17 sacks on 276 pass plays, 6.2% Joe Flacco: 9 sacks on 265 pass plays, 3.4% Sack rate does not belong solely to the offensive line. Quarterback play is often the biggest variable.
