(How's that for lopsided...)
I think it would be very difficult to argue that Roethlisberger wasn't getting hit a lot more on a game-by game basis based on that. Project Roethlisberger's numbers out to the same number of attempts as Brees and he'd have been sacked over 62 times. Versus 13.
Again, this isn't some kind of argument that Brees is somehow less of a QB because he was hit less. It's just...numbers.

Exactly.
Hell, I even took hits COMPLETELY out of the equation for BR, since we didn't have anything listed, and the evidence STILL shows that he's getting hit more.

Hall: Ladies and Gentlemen of the jury, it is my opinion that my client did not murder those people. That is all.
