3 isn't 25% of 60. Did you misread that as 3-4 times per game instead of per season?
I wasn't going off Mark12's math as I think he is slightly underestimating the # of hits TB would take per season. Let me make lay out my math.
I am basing my opinion on the data below.

For the sake of making this quicker, from 2011 to 2014, TB was hit once every 8 throws for an average about about 78 times per season.
In 2010, TB thew 492 times and was hit every once every 10 throws and hit 52 times.
My point is less throws mean Brady is hit less per season.
Having a bellcow RB that can make plays on his own and a D that can control the game helps achieve that.
