After diving into the effects of pressure as it comes from various positions and going further in-depth on the overrated left tackle position, it’s time to take a look at how individual quarterbacks are affected by different types of pressure. The first two pieces consist of a more general view of the NFL, and perhaps they’ve already helped influence at least one team’s NFL Draft strategy, but this breakdown is looking for trends in specific quarterback performance.

Are some quarterbacks more vulnerable from the inside? Off the edge? From a particular side? We’ve called upon our five years of extensive data (2008-2012) to answer some of these questions.

As you read and digest the numbers, please keep in mind that certain charts may be skewed by small sample sizes. For instance, much more pressure comes through the tackle positions than does from center so quarterback numbers when facing edge rush pressure may be more indicative of future performance than pressure that comes from center.

Enough of the caveats, let’s take a look.

Take a look at the site for all of the data.

Brady is #2 in the league against edge pressure, but worst in the league when the center gives up pressure.

Sanchez’ right tackle struggles pushed him to the bottom of the edge pressure rankings though he’s not nearly as bad when the rush comes from left tackle.

I'll bet Sanchez RT struggles are because he looks so hard at pressure coming from that vector due to the Wayne Hunter fiasco in 2011.

Some pretty good info. I noticed that Tannehill did pretty well last year under pressure. Let's see if he can replicate it this year now that teams have a yr of tape on him.
