What Qb hurry pct (allowed) is

Hurry rate: hurries divided by opponent dropbacks, as a percentage. A rate, so tempo and game script matter less.

Higher is better. It is a rate, so a team's number does not grow with games played. Source: P.

In 2021 the Bills led at 15.20; the league average was 10.27.
