If you saying 10 pressure vs 1 sack then you take the pressures

almost a apples to oranges type question tbh
It is, but not in the way you mean. 3 sacks in a game where a QB has all kinds of time to throw is not as valuable as constant pressure in a game where you might only put him on the ground once. A guy in that 3-sack game can still throw for 400 yards because he's not hurried. A guy under constant pressure is going to have a more difficult go of it, and that's probably going to lower his completion numbers, lower his yardage numbers and likely raise his turnover numbers. That's the real difference between sacks and pressure.
