Peyton Manning says he hates when Quarterbacks take sacks to protect their completion percentage because only 7% of drives turned into touchdowns after a first down sack “If you give up a seven-yard sack, your chances of converting, that drive is almost over. Tom Moore at the time, when... I first started, said, ‘There's only a 7% chance of a touchdown drive after a sack.’ That just stuck in my head.” “It bothers me when I see quarterbacks take an unnecessary sack to avoid the incompletion. Avoid affecting their completion percentage.” “Because that sack falls, not on them, it falls on the offensive line. I learned real quick from an old coach named Howard Mudd who said, you better throw that ball away. Don’t give that to us if it’s unnecessary. Seven percent.” “I’m like, there’s no chance we’re going to score a touchdown if we get a sack. A throwaway? I can deal with second-and-10. I can’t really deal with second-and-18 that well. There’s not a lot of good second-and-18 calls on that call sheet.”show more
