What Is Scramble Rate When Pressured?
Scramble Rate When Pressured measures the percentage of a quarterback’s pressured dropbacks -- scrambles when pressured divided by pressured dropbacks -- on which he chooses to take off and run rather than throw, take a sack, or spike the ball. This NFL advanced stat isolates a quarterback’s scramble tendency specifically once the pass rush has already gotten to him, complementing overall Scramble Rate (which spans every dropback regardless of pressure) by distinguishing quarterbacks who instinctively escape a collapsing pocket from those who stand in and try to find a throw. In NFL team stats, it helps identify which offenses lean on quarterback mobility as a pressure-relief valve.
