Roughing calls per 100 passes
Brady .36.
Mahomes .55
L Jackson .572
So both Mahomes and Jackson have gotten a little over .50% more which seems reasonable when you adjust for Mahomes and Jackson not playing in earlier era where roughing the passer wasn't called as often. Brady really played in around 3 eras of football. The first was very similar to the 90's when QBs didn't get special treatment compared to today.
Payton Manning got the least but he retired before the NFL starting really protecting players even more. Even Manning started his career 5 years later and played as long as Brady, he would have gotten a lot more calls. And Colts usually invested in their offensive line more than the Patriots. Patriots invested in defense and just expected Brady to process quickly and make the best out of the situation.
The most per 100 passes was RG3 at more than 1.2 per 100 passes which is over 3 times as many per 100 plays as Brady. He had a bad offensive line during his short career and refs most of felt sorry for him but the NFL may have been trying to protect him when he was being beaten to death.

The league has changed the last 10 years... Shoot a rule was changed when Brady got hit below the waist...
