Sackability
There are many things that go into why a quarterback gets sacked. A lot of it is the power of the opposing pass rush and the quality of blocking up front. However, another key part of it is the quarterback holding the ball too long. Sometimes they are trying to keep a play alive, others they just can’t find anybody open and refuse to throw it away.
QBs who do that often increase their “sackability” rating. In other words they don’t know how to protect themselves well enough by getting the ball out fast or living to play another down. This category will factor the number of sacks taken by every quarterback measured against their total number of dropbacks for passes.
The more sacks they had on fewer amount of dropbacks, their sackability rating goes up. This is a category where the lower the rating, the higher the ranking.
