If he committed 5 fewer sacks this year but committed 5 more holding calls would you rank him higher?

Hmm, that's a tough one. Sacks are a loss of down which is brutal. If you give up a sack on first down, you're now 2nd and ~15 to 18 (unless it's one of those "sacks" where really Burrow just gets tackled before he gets back to the line of scrimmage and it's only 2nd and 12), whereas with a hold you are 1st and 20. With our offense, I think having more downs is probably better than having fewer yards to get the first down, so I'd probably take the 5 additional holding calls.

But I'd much prefer just not having many of either
