Roughing the Passer By Quarterback - All Quarterbacks

A look at Roughing the Quarterback, broken down by the Quarterback that benefited from the call. Make sure to look at "per game" or "per 100 attempts" numbers to accurately compare players to one another. (Lets's face it, you're probably here because of a social media spat over Tom Brady or Patrick Mahomes. If not, feel free to click the "Tweet" button above and start one.)

• Only Quarterbacks with at least 40 games played are listed.
• Unlike virtually all other pages on the site where the number of games is team games this page does attempt to only count games in which the QB played, by way of looking to see if they were listed in the passing stats.
• Data from 2009 to 2024. Post season is included
• Any declined or offsetting penalties are included. This list is about who "always gets the calls". It isn't relevant to the matter at hand that an offensive lineman happened to hold, or a defensive back did something worse, on the same play.
• "Sacked" does ignore when there's no play, as it would be hard to know if whatever caused the play to not count is what led to the sack.

On a per game basis the quarterback (that matches the stipulations above) most likely to get a roughing the passer flag is currently:

Ryan Fitzpatrick with 0.3537 per game.

To match or top that per game rate:

Tom Brady would have needed 55 more calls in his 253 games from 2009 until his retirement.

Patrick Mahomes would have needed 17 more calls in his 133 games.

Josh Allen would have needed 6 more calls in his 123 games.

Lamar Jackson would have needed 23 more calls in his 107 games.

Jalen Hurts would have needed 22 more calls in his 79 games.
