The sacks this year are actually higher, which surprises me, though Bosa's numbers are way off. The INTs are marginally higher this year. So, the numbers don't really back up my argument.
Pressures like every other stat can be misrepresented. I think mixed in with QB hits is the better way.
I do believe the QB needs to actually FEEL the pressure, not just sense it.
How pressure affects the QB is what I am most interested in. Sacks are only 1 of 5 efficiency stats that I look for when judging how affective a pass rush is. The other 4 are passer rating, TD%, INT% and 1st down%. Pressure rate by itself isn't all that telling.
