    Ben is going to be the longest tenured QB with one team in NFL history at the end of next season. But he's also likely to break other records as well.

    I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around Brady being sacked more than Ben. How is that possible?

    Regardless, Ben will likely be at the top of that list before it's all said and done.

    The guy in green just got flagged and fined $50k for a flagrant foul on Brady.

    I stubbed my toe the other night and got a letter from the NFL telling me that I was not going to be fined for hitting Brady since it was my first offense and he was in a different state. But I am now on the repeat offender's list and will be ejected from my home and fined if it happens again.

    Update: I just received another notice telling me I was chosen for a random drug test at James Harrison's house.

    You have to figure on average that Brady played three more games a year than Ben and that includes more sacks. Now despite our belief that Brady gets the ball out quickly with his dink and dunk offense he still has had some horrible Ol's in his career as well as teams knowing he hates pressure in his face. It would be interesting to see a break down of his sacks totals from a 4 man front vs a 3 man front

    Ben was better when he used to get sacked 50+ times a season.

    What am I not understanding about this.

    Brady played 20 seasons with New England
    Ben has played 17 seasons with Pittsburgh. At the end of this coming season how does Ben pass Brady?

    5 linemen and 7 zebra's is a lot of protection.

    Only 303 for P. Manning, huh.

    If he had a more complete team around him during his career, I`m wondering how many SB`s he could have won?

    Or maybe, holding on to the ball has value and his throwing it away to avoid sacks has hidden costs/tradeoffs worse than yards lost.

    Some will still argue P. Manning is GOAT.

    Actually for the last 10 yrs, Brady has been sacked more than Ben, 277 to 242. Even when you adjust for games played sacks per game are similar. As much as everyone remembers Ben getting sacked 40-50 times a season, he’s hasnt been sacked more than 24 times in a season since 2014. Since 2014, Bens been sacked 19 times/yr (excluding 2019), Brady more than 26/yr. Ben has really learned how to get rid of the ball in the later park of his career.

    Peyton would let it fly like Ben hoping his receiver will get it.
