Designed running plays even by a qb are recorded as tackles, not sacks. So the only way he can be "sacked" is if he is tackled in the process of making the throwing motion? Of maybe if he fakes the pass and then runs and is tackled for a loss?
This is just another reason I hate the wildcat! [/QUOTE]ANY play deemed a designed run by the player receiving the snap resulting in negative yardage is never ruled a sack regardless of the players official position.
This has always been the case. The most common example is the QB sneak.
This is one of the few areas of football stats where the statisticians must sometimes make a judgement call. If a QB rolls out it is sometimes hard to tell if it purely a designed run with decoys or a run with the option to throw.
