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.

it's still comparing uneven numerical values
constant vs few
15 vs 3
If you compare an even number of sacks vs pressures then you take the sacks every time. Ideally i think every coach would want the same thing ... consistent pressure with a few sacks sprinkled throughout.
