I can't agree with this assessment. I've seen all 3 take on hits if plays were developing and they needed to throw late. They keep their eyes downfield and not swivelling to pick up pass rushers. I've seen all 3 tuck it in and take the sack. And what is a "would-be" tackler anyways? The only time Bert helped out in that department was to one guy to get the sack record. Bert is widely lauded for his ability to keep plays alive by escaping and flipping a ball in the most unlikely fashion. I have never read that he lays down.
All 3 of these QBs are locks for Canton and IMHO, deservedly so. I really don't get the hate. I feel priviliged to be a fan during a time when the NFL has 3 plus HOF QBs active.
I also think it assinine to on the one hand criticise Bert for taking a sack all the while criticising him for making stupid throws that turn into INTs for not taking a sack. I am no longer a fan of Bert, because IMHO, his conduct is unbefitting a professional/Packer. But I will try and evaluate his on-field activities without a G&G bias.
