Cam was the 12th best QB under pressure

[jtnc]

It’s something that can’t be discounted; a quarterbacks’ innate ability to avoid taking a sack. In some respects it is what separates the good and great quarterbacks out there, a QB knowing when to get rid of the ball. It’s one of the reasons why Dolphin fans are ready to move on from Matt Moore as he had the highest percentage of pressure turn into sacks (27.3%). He narrowly beat out Blaine Gabbert and Kevin Kolb who finished joint second with figures of 26.1%–the numbers speaking volumes for both men. Gabberts’ lack of pocket presence was as evident as it gets, while Kolb has always struggled with taking sacks.

The linked page says he was 3rd best under pressure.

cam still has some things he could work on but he undeniably has brass balls in the face of pressure. that's a big deal.

oh yeah and that article does list cam as 3rd overall under pressure.

You're correct, my bad. :redface:

Change title to 3rd please.

yep. the 12th was as far as pressures turning into sacks. his 16.8% or whatever made him the 12th best in the league. the 49% completions under pressure is pretty impressive.

what i really love is the company he has in that top 5 QBs under pressure.

eli, brees, cam, rodgers, and brady. i think he fits in there quite nicely.

good read, btw, even if you screwed up the title.;)

I imagine by pressure they mean the defense was choosing to blitz?

[carolinarolls]

cuz he is LARGE and all corner blitzes are not going to be succesful. They're just not

pressure meaning pressure, DE, DT, LB, CB, Safety...whoever pressuring him

[The_Mango55]

Wait this article can't be right, is says that Matt Moore isn't very good!

[jtnc]

Cam Newton is 12th in AVOIDED sacks.

yep, so it counts when a defense rushes 3 or 4 and Bell lets them right through......
