Interesting article from december shows that Brees was top-10 in the NFL in both hits and hurries to that point of the season: http://www.footballoutsiders.com/ext...d-hurries-2008

Here are your (hurries) leaders among quarterbacks.

J.T. O'Sullivan, SF: 63
Aaron Rodgers, GB: 59
Drew Brees, NO: 54
Ben Roethlisberger, PIT: 54
David Garrard, JAC: 52*
Donovan McNabb, PHI: 50
Peyton Manning, IND: 49
Matt Ryan, ATL: 47
Derek Anderson, CLE: 45
Kurt Warner, ARI: 45*

The least-hurried quarterback among regular starters is Jake Delhomme, marked with only 23 hurries with no missing halves through Week 11.

here are the quarterbacks with the most hits. Again, sacks not included. Check out the big gap between the top two and everyone else.

Kurt Warner, ARI: 65.2 (65)
David Garrard, JAC: 61.2 (67)
Matt Cassel, NE: 42.4 (42)
Jeff Garcia, TB: 41.1 (41)
Jason Campbell, WAS: 36.5 (39)
Drew Brees, NO: 36.5 (37)
Tony Romo, DAL: 34.8 (34)
Peyton Manning, IND: 33.2 (33)
Derek Anderson, CLE: 30.2 (28)
Donovan McNabb, PHI: 30.1 (27)
I have to admit I was surprised by that. The guy was only sacked 13 times in 600+ attempts and completed 65% of his passes, which aren't exactly the kind of numbers that shout 'under pressure'.
