    Orlovsky has completely lost his mind. IMO, so much of this is junk it's hard to start a discussion.

    I do give him props for going on the record with this kind of detail knowing it will be torn apart. Would have been better if 2-3 other guys had done the same thing; Tim Hasselbeck in particular.

    Only one I fear is Lamar, oh, and the refs that shield Patrick.
    The rest of that tier, this defense has plastered them on the turf, which consequently leads to them sub-par performances

    Caleb Williams AVOIDED as many sacks, as Stroud's total times sacked (Stroud the 2nd most in the NFL). Caleb himself still got sacked the 3rd most times in NFL history :confused:.

    (Though that can be Caleb holding ball too long for hero-ball). But imagine watching Stroud pressured 50% more last year lol

    We don't need to imagine. Stroud was the most pressured qb in the nfl last year.

    https://www.houstonstressans.com/po...-pressured-qb-in-2024-but-who-was-responsible

    Another reason for that discrepancy is the fact that Caleb is pretty nimble while CJ is decidedly not.

    And yeah being a worse/younger qb with worse receivers and holding the ball too long can contribute.

    Yep.

    The article from The Ringer that @Commodore posted yesterday goes into detail on this.
