Eli Manning vs Jason Campbell

Guys like Peyton and Brady wont get sacked much due to teams not blitzing them as much. IMO

Those guys welcome defenses to take guys out of coverage and rush them. more often than not they make them pay for it.

Don't you think it has also something to do with their offensive lines? I mean since 2002, Indianapolis and New England have been in the top 10/top 15 in least QB sacks allowed (except last year in NE). I'm sure defenses don't go blitz crazy when they face Payton or Brady, but give some credit to the lines.

In the case of NE id say not really. when they were setting the scoring record not many teams blitzed Brady, the Gmen got after him in the SB and gave teams a blueprint on how to slow down brady and Co. the Cheifs got after him and put him out and then Cassel wasnt getting the respect from defenses that they gave Tom.

See when NE set the scoring record, I remember watching the NE/Baltimore game, and I do think B'more went after Brady quite a lot. I think it'd be interesting to see stats on the number of blitzes that the NE o-line faced that year. Also, in 2006, Brady had no #1 receiver, while he was still Tom Brady, I'm sure the defenses must have not feared the likes of Reche Caldwell and Ben Watson; and probably went after the QB.

The Iggles and regular-season Giants also went after him pretty hard.
