Message: <blockquote data-quote="easyk83" data-source="post: 801935" data-attributes="member: 8895">The idea that interceptions should never be compared to sacks is a facile argument. Typically when judging defensive players 2-3 sacks is the equivalent of a pick, so why not here as well. If Rodgers is taking too many sacks then that absolutely would hurt the offenses ability to sustain drives and score points. So if a Quarterback s style lessens the number of picks but results in more sacks and sack fumbles then I would argue that we should attempt a comparison to the extent that we can equivocate numbers. Though it doesnt work on a 1 for 1 comparison could multiple sacks cause the same harm as a pick? Yes.As for a short completion or bad run I'd look at it as a matter of potential. Typically a receiver or running back is much more athletic than a quarterback. Putting the ball in play carries a chance of success. Likewise a quarterback holding the ball too long against the rush is almost a guaranteed drive killer on third down. Consider Russell Wilson who was sacked a bunch on Thursday, the difference was that he was getting the ball out quicker and avoiding sacks on third downs while Rodgers was not. This resulted in a significantly better performance on third down, still not great but converting almost 40% of third downs is a damn sight better than being under 30%.</blockquote>
