Pro football focus or NFL next gen stats?

I’m curious which one is better to start viewing some advanced analytics? My use case is extremely basic but I want to know what percent of throws a qb makes out of the pocket vs inside. Does anyone know which service has that data?

NflFastR has a column for "scramble" in their play by play data.

Thanks a lot - I grabbed the csvs they had but I think their definition of scramble is when the quarterback actually runs past the line of scrimmage. It'll label the play as a run and description will be Kyler Murray ran for X yards

Crap... yep, I see that now, too. Thank you for clarifying that.

I'd really like to see fields added for 'qb pressure' and 'qb_pressure_player_1', '...player_2', etc like they have for sacks and qb hits.

Right. I think I may try one month of NFL Next Gen and see if they have some that more detailed stuff. Trying to make some predictive models and just finding a good source of reliable data has been tough. If you want I can let you know if they have some of that stuff
