QB hits mean more than sacks to me

[MWH1967]

Ok, it's glamorous to have the 'Stat" of a sack, but a hurry or a QB hit is sometimes just as effective.



Dallas had 10 last night. Let that sink in before you toast me.

Why is it better than a sack? Expound and show all work.

With all due respect it kinda dont make sense, yes a QB hit/hurry is good but the QB can still complete the pass.

Now with a sack - you get the benefit of the hit AND you get the loss of yardage.

Either way this D has got issues, its not close to a championship D.

Same. Sacks are often the quarterback's fault for not throwing the ball away.

Sacks, hits, and pressures all equally impact games in a big way.

 

[Hardline]

A sack ends up in lost yardage for the offense and ends the play.
A QB hurry can still backfire on you. How many times have you seen a QB under pressure make a great pass or run for a first down?
QBs laying on the turf does no damage to you.
Take the sack 100 out of 100 times.

Yes they are very important and makes a QB jittery however between the two give me the sack which results usually in a loss of a lot of yards. If not the sack then yes the hurry and QB hit is very important.

No, they do not mean more. Sack > QB hurry or hit

Why are you picking one over the other? It's all good and it all matters. Hits are cumulative and take a toll on a QB but sacks give us the instant gratification we crave.

 

[charron]

It's not as good. Anything you can do to affect the pass is good but sacks and interceptions are the elite plays a defense can make.

a QB hurry can also turn into a pick or fumble, though.

Dobbs was clueless. With Tannehill and Henry, TN probably wins this game.

 

[wssaustin]

How do you quantify a QB hit? How hard a hit is a hit? If I managed to touch QB's shoelace, does that count as a hit?

There is always that chance.

I agree with you. Sacks are the glory stat that gets people big $ contracts and calls attention to that person on tv, but QB pressures are whats important. Ive seen games where there were no sacks, but a defense pressured an opposing teams QB all game long and thats way better than getting one or two sacks here and there. Sustained pressure on the QB leads to him rushing his decisions, throwing earlier than he wanted, and making more errors. Look at our own QB for an example of that.
