A Hurry/Pressure/Hit is a possible waste of a down. The QB could always stare down the gun barrel and deliver a strike or move off his spot and complete the pass anyways. A lot of that depends on the QB and the quality of his offensive weapons. Some QB's fold under pressure while we've all watched Ben Roethlisberger kill us with the scramble drill for years.
Thing with Lawson is, Spotrac credits him with an average of 1.57 Hurries/game over the last 2 years. Profootball Reference credits him with 32 QB Hits last year, which is two per game. So, on average, 1.5-2 throws a game he's affecting with pressure.
Pressures also can lead to Turnovers which are much better than Sacks...
