Too many people classify taking a sack after quick pressure as not the QBs fault and dismissible. It's not binary like that. Minimizing sacks - even when under quick pressure - is a skill

I always point to the fact that Mahomes didn't take a sack until the 4th quarter of the Bucs SB loss even though he was under constant duress. Incompletions are still negative, but not drive killers to the same degree
@KevinCole___ Some of the DC media have been consistently disregarding this metric all off-season, dismissing it as a mere coping mechanism to mask JD's shortcomings in this area
@KevinCole___ Looks like many of the sack happen when the slant isn't open.
@KevinCole___ And then there is pre-snap reads and adjustments that can put you in better or worse position for pressure. As Brady recently pointed out, even when you evade it with your legs, you often could have avoided that situation entirely.
@KevinCole___ He could've thrown the ball away on a few but he knows he's expected to create so he holds and secondary pressure got to him. He generally avoided the first rusher so this is decent tape tbh. He's doing pretty much all you can ask of him with under 3 secs to process.
@KevinCole___ And not always, but quick pressures are often not calling the protection correctly! (If that's the scheme and not all teams put that on QB)
@KevinCole___ Funny enough they say he can "quickly process" apparently not really cuz the moment there is pressure his eyes go down
@KevinCole___ This wasn’t even particularly quick pressure?
@KevinCole___ So many of those are just bad sacks to take, where he at least couldve gotten rid of the ball.
