As far as sacks. Purdy is the 11th best QB in the league in terms of avoiding sacks when pressured. Only 14.6% of the pressures Brock faces end up in a sack.
Sounds like you are suggesting Brock play is improving the O lines numbers.
Yes and no.
I have no idea how other offenses have dealt with the blitz. We seem to mostly put it on the QB with the amount of free rushers I have seen. Maybe other teams max protect in those situations but we don't seem to very often.
On the other hand, Brock has been able to either get the ball out just a tick before being hit or is stepping up and moving around in the pocket to buy himself more time. What I haven't seen him do much of, if at all, is escaping the pocket to avoid pressure like he was doing a lot of last season.
I don't think pass pro has been poor but it is difficult to judge by the rate at which he is being blitzed. Hopefully the blitz rate starts to drop now that he has proven over and over again that he can beat it and make defenses pay. I would love to see how the O line performs in pass pro when its only a 4 man rush.
