When someone sacks the quarterback do you count the negative yardage from where he was sacked or where the other team recovers the ball?

its where the qb is sacked but if he fumbles it its where the line of scrimage is If there is no fumble, hence no turnover, then the negative yardage is where the quarterback is officially tackled. On a fumble and turnover and downed recovery by the other team, I believe that the negative yardage would then be calculated from the line of scrimmage to where the opponent recovers.

How is forward pass yardage computed-- If the ball is thrown 10 yards and the receiver runs for 20 more yards is the quarterback credited with a 30 yard pass?
In the NFL, pass yardage is computed differently for team stats and for individual stats.For individual stats, the yardage is computed by determining where the play ends in relation to the line of scrimmage when the play began. If a forward pass is completed and the receiver is tackled downfield 15 yards from the line of scrimmage where the play began, the quarterback is credited with 15 passing yards. If a forward pass is completed and the receiver is tackled 3 yards behind the line of scrimmage where the play began, the quarterback is credited with -3 passing yards.For team stats, the above also applies. However, yardage lost to sacks is subtracted from a team's passing yardage total where it is not subtracted from a quarterback's passing yardage total. If, in a game, a quarterback throws for 250 yards and is sacked 2 times for 15 yards lost, the QB's passing yardage total will be 250 and the team's passing yardage total will be 235.

What is loss of yardage in football?
A loss of yardage in football is when someone on the team holds the football in his/her hand(s)/arm(s) and someone on the other team tackles the person with the football before the person with the football can advance across the line in which the play started. For example: the team with the football start on the fifty yard line and they need to advance the ball to the forty yard line for a first down. The football gets snapped to the quarterback. The quarterback has two options: run with the football or throw the football to someone on his/her team so the team can attempt to get the ball across the forty yard line. The quarterback notices that someone on the other team is running at him/her and runs backwards to the forty yard line. Before the quarterback has the chance to either run with the football or throw the football, the person tackles the quarterback at the forty yard line resulting in a ten yard loss.
