Ooops, I forgot to add this:

No, on a typical sack the QB does not lose the rushing yards, but the yards are deducted from the overall team stats. (but they are deducted from the passing yards)

[replicamuse]

sacks are removed from his rushing totals, as well as taking a knee.

hmmmm, I could have sworn that's what I had heard before.

I didn't think that sounded right, so I did a little looking around. Someone like Favre even has 40 yards rushing. I didn't think that would be possible if sacks were subtracted. Here's some discussion on it, apparently it changed in 1947.

A QB doesnt lose rushing yards on sack unless he free-willingly runs out of bounds, or takes a knee. (and a sack isnt credited by taking a knee)

-or-

If the play is designed as a running play for the QB, such as a QB draw or something like that. The determination comes from the official stats guy at the home stadium, much like the official score keepers at a baseball game.

How is rushing yards figured for a QB is it always when he crosses the line of scrimage and then it is considerd a run? if he is sacked does it take away his total rushing yards or not considerd a run.

i know most of you can figure out why I ask this but for the slow ones the reason is.

Mike Vick has 800 rushing yards and that is quite a acomplishment for a QB. But he has also been sacked 44 times for a 243 yards that is a 5.5 average per sack.

do that take that yardage from his rushing that would put him closer to 643 or do they leave the rushing that is over the total.

now 643 yards is still good for a Qb for rushing just wondeing how the number are actualy figured.
