Message: <blockquote data-quote="HardRightEdge" data-source="post: 726448">A sack also entails loss of yards which you did not mention.  That's critical.And when you get down to it, a hit is a hurry + QB contact.  There's an obvious value add, right?  Or maybe the QB didn't see you coming, holds his spot, and wasn't hurried at all.  All the better.  You're more likely to get wounded duck if you hit the guy than if you merely "hurry" him. I'd like to see "hit" vs. "hurry" stats to know if what seems intuitively obvious is borne out in numbers.  Also, I'm more interested in what a QB does immediately after a hit rather than before.We also have to ask the question, "what the hell constitutes a "hurry" in the first place?"  I'd like to see clips of 10 borderline calls, 5 that counted as hurries and 5 that didn't, to even know what they are counting.Hits and hurries might generate INTs; sacks also might generate fumbles.  Stats are needed to reverse what would be intuitive.I see a lot of counter intuitive scoring and a black box.</blockquote>
