The point is entirely that there is a lot of noise in sack totals, really any number where the total is usually in the single digits. A fluky 2 or 3 in either direction can vastly change the perception. Remember Mincey's great season that really wasn't that great he just racked up 5 or 6 sacks vs that horrible Colts oline twice.

Walker getting 6 sacks as a rookie could mean just about anything. Maybe he was actually quite solid for a rookie, or maybe he got a couple of cleanup sacks and a couple because he was handled but the QB just happened to try to escape the pocket right into him. On the other hand, if he has a double digit pressure percentage as a rookie I think we can safely assume he is going to wind up being a damn good player.
