Big Dogs Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 I'm curious here.........I've got Vick, so while he's not the best QB in the world, he is giving me almost 20 points so far today with his legs........ But my question is.........Vick can gain yards for scrambling out of a busted pass play, but he's not penalized those yards when he's sacked for 10 or 12 yards... Why is that?? Anyone know?? I'm not complaining and don't want to lose the points, but as I was watching the game and saw that he got sacked, I figured I had lost those points.........until I came to the computer and looked!!!

Grits and Shins Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 When a play is deemed to be a running play there is no sack. So if he is attempting to throw the ball it is not a rush and those yards are deducted from his passing total. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giants56 Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 (edited) Sacks are taken out of the teams total passing yds not the individual. Edited November 26, 2006 by Giants56 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glabra Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 Sacks are taken out of the teams total passing yds not the individual. I don't think that's correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big John Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 (edited) I don't think that's correct. Giants56 has a correct statement. Sacks don't affect Vick's stats. Edited November 26, 2006 by Big John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glabra Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 (edited) That is a correct statement. Sacks don't affect Vick's stats. Agreed. The part I was questioning was whether they affect the team totals, as Giants56 stated. Edited November 26, 2006 by Glabra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big John Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 Agreed. The part I was questioning was whether they affect the team totals, as Giants56 stated. Yards lost due to sacks go against the team's net passing yards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giants56 Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 I don't think that's correct. Todays stats Vick 9/24 for 84 yds. NO - Def 3 sacks for 32 yds Atl total net yds passing 52 yds. Its right in the box score! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
