As a defensive player you can cause chaos on an offense but when you are facing guys like Mahomes, Allen, Jackson you have to make some sacks. How many times have you seen a defense cause chaos, break down the offense but the defender fails to make the sack and the QB absolutely burns the defense on a broken play? Just causing chaos isnt enough. The elite teams the Bengals will be competing for a championship against will make plays if you dont get to the QB.
I get what you're saying and what you'd like but nobody in the NFL is sacking Allen or Jackson as both QB's were in the top 3 of least sacked QB's last season averaging less than 1.5 per game and Mahomes was ranked 18th because their OL just sucked. Yes, sacks are great but give me fewer sacks and lots of hits/ hurries because those wear down a team and cause fumbles/ int's.
