To me Sacks are a stat like INTs, where context matters.
Nobody should view an INT as a bad stat if there is :03 seconds left in the half and a QB launches a prayer... or if it's 3rd and 25 from the opposing teams 40 and you launch a ball downfield like a punt.
How many INT's does Mahomes have to carry because his WR's love to tip well throw balls?
A sack on first down for a loss of 3 yards doesn't mean much when the opposing team just gets a first down the next play.
I'm no Chris Jones fan after what he pulled this off season, but I don't think you can judge a player just strictly on paper stat.
I'd much rather look at QB pressures.
