Quote:The problem with "hurries" as most people use It doesn't necessarily mean that the defender actually forced the quarterback to make a bad throw. A quarterback hurry is counted when a defender either forces a quarterback out of the pocket or pressures the throw, and does not take into account pass completions, 1st downs, etc.

 

How many times did the D-Line do that last year but then allow them to make a big QB run or keep the play going and make the pass with scramble rules? I easily remember a number of plays where the defense got a hurry but a big play was allowed nonetheless.

 

Essentially, neither hurries or sacks are a perfect metric. The truth is in the middle.
