One year Roethlisberger got sacked 50 times and had great numbers. Of course, I didn't dig deeper and look into the hit stats either. Fans in Pittsburgh would blame him and say he held onto the ball too long. You just can't win as a QB.
I think pocket awareness and pocket mobility are so underrated in this league. Extending the play is huge. If you can sidestep people in the pocket and avoid sacks (something that Ben, Brees, Rodgers do so well) it goes such a long way with the offense.
Andy doesnt quite have that ability. He can roll out of the pocket fine, but as far as staying in the pocket and extending plays, he has trouble with it.
The boys are just talkin' ball, babyyyy
