PFF: The Overrated Sack

Yeah I always thought that sack numbers were a little overblown. Although it probably gives a good indication of how much pressure is being brought to bear. If a guy is consistently forcing the QB to throw early his sack numbers aren't necessarily telling the story. If a guy hits a QB 8 times in a game that QB is going to start looking over his shoulder. That's when you're having an effect on the game.
