How Many Sacks Will Robert Quinn Have?

[NJRamsFan]

We all saw our star defensive player come into his own last year with a breakout season. He amassed 19 sacks, 7 forced fumbles, was named 1st team all pro and earned a trip to the Pro Bowl.

That being said, i'm wondering what everyone is expecting out of Robert Quinn this year. Do you expect him to match that production, exceed it, or fall short? How many sacks will he have? will he earn a second Pro Bowl appearance?

My guess, Robert Quinn breaks the NFL single season sack record with 23, easily earning him a second consecutive Pro Bowl appearance and solidifying himself as THE best DE in game. The additions of Aaron Donald, and Greg Williams will, IMO create even more opportunities for Quinn and make it nearly impossible for teams focus on him.

What say you?

Somewhere between 10 and 28 is my prediction*.

*Based upon a 95% confidence interval for mean sacks per game, assuming sacks per game follows a poisson distribution

Really went out on a limb there huh

Really a tough call, considering all the players that WELL be getting Sacks, Long, Langford, Hayes, Donald, Brockers, Sims, Ogletree, etc. etc. and Quinn, But I'd say 23 or more!!

 

[RamBall]

I would not be surprised to see him break the current record. I'll say 24, he should be able to average 1.5 sacks/game. 32 if the O scores early and often.

I suppose I could have gone off what players did after a 19 sack season
Mark Gastineau 22
Clyde Simmons 5
Bruce Smith 1.5

But that's an even wider prediction.

Agreed. Quinn's biggest obstacle this season could be the race with his teammates to the QB

Smith played 5, Simmons all 16.

Smith played 5, Simmons all 16.

wow 19 sacks to just 5.. thats insane.

 

[Rams and Gators]

wow 19 sacks to just 5.. thats insane.

It would take him another 47 games for his next 19 and he only managed 10+ sacks once in his next 8 seasons (although he only started 2 games his last 2).

22 sacks Write it down

 

[Tron]

Ill be the negative Nancy and say 14.5 sacks

The fact that guessing 14.5 sacks makes you the negative nancy is a testament to how good this kid actually is.

That is very true lol. I started at 16 then lowered to 15, then 14.5. Thats still a good total. I wanted to go lower but dont see that as a possibilty.

 

[HawaiiRam]

Put me down for 22.5 sacks

 

[rickrawk]

When I first saw this, 23 immediately came to mind. I'm going with 23.

GO RAMS!!!!

 

[Yamahopper]

17 ish. The blitzing and rest of D line cuts into his total. But on film he will get credit for causing another 25.

 

[CGI_Ram]

19.125

I think his two biggest variables are Williams and the offense. he easily could've broken the record if we had a decent offense last year. imagine the opportunities if we had been up in more games and the QB had to sling it more. so losing Bradford hurts him. but with Williams bringing all kinds of packages it has to open up opportunities for him that he never got last year.
