Stat question?

[Nors]

Where is the best website to find stats like:

Career leaders - QB's been sacked


Thats always been 1 I can't find. Believe Elways is career leader. Would be interested in seeing that list!

Thanks

I don't know if you can find that one here, but it's worth a look.

Sorry Nors, didn't get this off a website... but here's the data:

("times sacked" stat kept since 1963)

Most Times Sacked, Career

516 John Elway, Denver, 1983-1998

494 Dave Krieg, Seattle, 1980-1991; Kansas City, 1992-93; Detroit, 1994; Arizona, 1995; Chicago, 1996; Tennessee, 1997-98

484 Randall Cunningham, Philadelphia, 1985-1995; Minnesota, 1997-99; Dallas 2000; Baltimore 2001

------------
Most Times Sacked, Season

76 David Carr, Houston, 2002
72 Randall Cunningham, Philadelphia, 1986
62 Ken O’Brien, N.Y. Jets, 1985
Steve Beuerlein, Carolina, 2000

-------------

Dallas also had a hand in the record for most times sacked in a game:
12 Warren Moon, Houston vs. Dallas, Sept 29, 1985

11 Greg Landry, Detroit vs. Dallas Oct 6, 1975
11 David Norrie, NY Jets vs Dallas, Oct 4, 1987

Moon is tied with Bert Jones for the record (12 sacks); and Landry & Norrie tied with 11 others (11 sacks), including Aikman (vs Eagles, 9/15/91), Steve Pelluer (Dal vs. Chargers, 11/16/86) Bart Starr, Randal Cunningham (OT game), Jaws, and a Manning QB (1984).

----------

Interestingly, while looking this up, I saw the top two records for most passes attempted in a game (70 & 69) ...
Top two QB's both wore a star on their helmet at one time, and were Bill Parcell darlings...more surprisingly I think both records were set with Parcells on the sideline!
I'll leave it up to you guys to figure out/guess who the two QBs are...

Go Falcons!

That's a VERY good website, milady, I have it bookmarked... I used it just today, to rebut an argument by a Skins fan who suggested that in Gibbs' first tenure, he didn't have many good players, he mostly won by virtue of superior coaching...

Took me about ten minutes to list 20 different Pro Bowlers who played for Gibbs the first time around, who made 43 total appearances in the Pro Bowl... throw out his first year and his last, and the Skins averaged 4 Pro Bowlers per season in his time there (you can find the rosters for each year's Pro Bowl there)...

What I'd like to find is a website that has the stats for how many times a DB was thrown on in the course of the season, how many passes were completed against him, and how many TDs that DB gave up over the course of the year... I've looked and looked and looked, but I can't find a site that has those numbers...

Hunting for more 'Bledsoe sucks' ammo? I suppose its a testament to his greatness if the bad guy have to ask the good guys for places to search for ammo to bag on him with.

Silverbear, I know you know that Pro-Bowl spots are often a function of team performance and not the other way around. Other times they are simply a result of past reputation (such as your own Larry Allen this year.) Simply culling a list of pro-bowlers as proof that Gibbs was not an amazing coach is a weak arguement. One only has to look at the number of Hall of Famers on those Gibbs teams to see just what a job he did back then. Over the twelve year span of the first Gibbs era, only one player is in the Hall of Fame: John Riggins, and he was only on one of those Superbowl teams. We are now 14 years removed from the last Gibbs superbowl. Clearly superior players on those teams should already be in the HOF by now. While I think there have been a snub or three, the fact that Gibbs himself is the ONLY Commander from all three Superbowls in the Hall of Fame is a statement far more powerful than how many pro-bowlers he had.
