The answer is ZERO!I would urge you to go to the Acme Packing Company site and read the articles they have describing Gary's disappearance since October. I'm far from the only one who's noticed. If you want to pretend Gary is getting the job done, so be it but I'd rather see his snaps go to other guys. As I've posted before pass rushers have the worst measures of performance. Even sacks are far from a great measuring stick.  Not every sacks is the same. Certainly a 10 yard sack on third down has much more impact than a 1- yard sack on first down. I think a much better way to measure performance is add up all the yards lost from sacks and TFL's and divide by the number of snaps.  I also think that forced incompletions would be a huge improvement. On any given pass play there are only a few outcomes: 1. Completion, 2. Dropped pass.3 Pass knocked away by a DB. 4. Interception 5. Throw away 6. Forced incomplete. Any time the QB can't follow through on his delivery or is knocked off his throwing base by the pass rusher should count as a forced incomplete I've seen too many QB's scramble for a first down or step into the pocket, or throw a quick check down to know 'pressures' frequently don't lead to success. While pressures are better than nothing, that's not saying much.</blockquote>
