Mr. Blonde (of all people) made this very salient point during a loss while I was trying to figure out what went wrong on the last play the Packers would get on offense (4th down and long while losing and not enough time or TOs to get ball back).

In that situation, you HAVE to throw the ball. A sack is just dumb, it gives you no chance. Run from the pocket, throw a shovel pass, do something but the sack is just giving up that late.
Give me the comparative numbers for each QB on the drives that end in points in the 4th quarter when trailing. Wins and losses depend too much on defense and special teams to be a good measure. If he's conservative and way behind in points per drive in that situation, then they'll have something.
