Talk:Quarterback sack

message: Is a quarterback sack also recorded as a tackle for the defensive player? In other words, when a player sacks a QB does it count in his stats as just a sack? Or is it a tackle and a sack?

replies: text: Yes, it is a sack.  David Carr did this as nauseum when he could have just tossed the ball out of bounds and gotten an incompletion.   I added it into the article and provided a reference showing it counts as a sack.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.201.188.160 (talk) 16:52, 21 November 2012 (UTC)

message: In tonight's (1/4/2009) NFL playoff game, Eagles v. Vikings, the Vikings defense ran up to quarterback Donovan McNabb during a play in the 3rd quarter.  One of the Vikings defenders wrapped his arms around McNabb with momentum, and before he took McNabb to the ground, McNabb threw the ball to the ground.  This was ruled as a sack, according to announcer Joe Buck because McNabb's "forward progress was stopped."  I thought some more detail around the rules, that includes situational instances like this, might enhance this page.  My advance apologies if this doesn't make sense or is irrelevant.  Thanks!  --Scottymoze (talk) 23:50, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

message: I can clearly recall announcers in the 1960s saying "...and the quarterback is dumped!" before the term "sack" became popular.  Does anyone else remember this?   Psalm 119:105 (talk) 03:48, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: "Sack" vs. "dump"

message: I think there can be a better picture for this term. one that clearly shows a quarterback behind the offensive line, possibly being hit from the blindside.
possibly this: http://thenewrambleon.files.wordpress.com/2011/01/lawrence-taylor-sack.jpg

message: Regarding images, there's been a bit of to-and-fro in recent edits. I think the issue is that the article, for some reason, has two images of Rodgers being sacked. Both are good images, but it is a bit odd having the same QB twice. Anyone know of another free image? Unfortunately commons doesn't seem to have a category for QB sacks. --LukeSurl t c 11:14, 25 September 2018 (UTC)

text: We now have three images of Rodgers being sacked. It sticks out, especially as Rodgers isn't a QB who is sacked disproportionately often. Let's replace a couple of these. --LukeSurl t c 13:13, 25 September 2018 (UTC)
