![]() ![]() Manning and Brees are not the most mobile QB's but they don't get sacked for a number of reasons. The one exception being the year that Cassel filled in for Brady. The teams who have had the most effective passing attacks over the past 5 years (NE, NO, IND) all have really low sack rates. By comparison 2006 saw 4 teams give up a sack on 10.5% or more of their passing plays. The Bears who gave up a league high 52 sacks in 2010 only gave up a sack on 10.5% of passing plays. In fact, 2010 was a great year to be a QB as you will see in the hit rate and the punishment rate numbers later. The sack rate has been decreasing every year for the past 5 years. The leagues best passing teams are consistently below 4%. The average sack rate for the league for these 5 years is 6.5%. Make the jump with me and we'll take a look at league trends, team trends and some individual player insights.įirst off let's look at the QB sack rate over the past five years for every team in the NFL. The avoidance rate is interesting, but confusing and not as useful as the punishment rate. The punishment rate gives a pretty good indication of which QBs are taking a beating and which are not. I "created" two new stats to analyze an offense's ability to keep their QB upright - the punishment rate (QB hit + sacks)/passing attempts, and the avoidance rate (Qb hits - sacks)/passing attempts. A QB hit is defined as a play when the QB gets hit while throwing or immediately after throwing the football. The hit rate is QB hits/passing attempts. I thought it would be interesting to look at two stats, QB sacks and QB hits (which have only been recorded for the past 5 seasons) to see what we can learn about QB mobility/escapability. He focused on the ratio of rushing attempts to passing attempts.
