Posted this in another thread, but thought it deserved its own.


Here are some interesting numbers.

Jones has been blitzed more than any NFL QB. 10 have been sacked more but a bunch have 1 or 2 fewer sacks in less attempts, so at worst he’s been sacked an average amount of times.
There have been a total 355 sacks in the NFL, with Monday night game to go, so the average team has allowed 11.1 sacks. Jones has been sacked exactly the average, but has thrown the 9th most passes.

Jones has been knocked down the most 24 times, all QBs have been knocked down 422 times, so that would be 14 on average, so he is getting knocked down 2 times a game more than average. (Josh Allen has been knocked down 20 times, Herbert 19 FYI)
Jones has been hurried 9 times and the average is 14.

So while throwing the 9 most times, getting blitzed the most of any QB, he has been sacked the average amount, hurried once fewer per game than average and kicked down twice more than average.

Hardly historically bad. Very average, and I’d call the run blocking average in every game except Tampa when it was atrocious.

Seems like the kind of thing that should improve as you get deeper into the season, hopefully get your best OL back, and look at games 10-17 of a rookie QBs career rather than 1-5.

That is interesting. A case where the perception of the game live and the numbers don't seem to add up. I have never heard of the site, but like you said in the other thread the run blocking has been a huge disappointment. And the blatant missed blocks and pickups make it appear worse as well.
 
Why does your source claim only 24 hits when I've seen Patriot writers cite 34 QB hits (or more) the first 4 games.

Not sure why you're trying to claim Mac hasn't been hit constantly, 5th game notwithstanding. It's been apparent to anyone watching the games.

QBs get hit. It’s part of the game.
Jones isn’t getting hit a whole more than most qbs.

Yeah... your stats are highly suspect when it claims Mac has only been hit 24 times. Did they stop counting after week 1/2 ??

They are legit, unlike most of what you post.
