On the league MVP page, under the Blocking tab, Hurries Allowed and Sacks Allowed appear like they are good things.

The top of the list should be the players with the fewest sacks and hurries allowed, not the most.

Those aren't mvp lists, they're lists of people with the most "whatever". O line gets nothing in terms of stats so they threw that in to show who the worst is. There used to be similar things under defense i believe (most missed tackles) as you have most fumble list for offense.

It's not incorrect. Showing who has the fewest hurries allowed wouldn't be very useful either because you have a lot of O line players, among others like pretty much every player on defense or who are in ST only, such that you would have a bunch of 0's at the top of players who never even see the offensive side of the ball.

This would be even more meaningless than seeing who the "worst" players in the bunch are.

And i know the next argument would be- well then why don't you just eliminate anyone who isn't in a single offensive snap. Ok, then what do you do with a guy who gets 1 play a game and has 0 hurries allowed on the season because he popped into the offense 12 times all season. Add certain number of plays required, and have to play in position, and and and....

It would be nice if there was an easy way to do it, but there isn't. There are very few good stats for offensive linemen outside of pancakes (which really doesn't mean a lot anyways if your QB is getting flattened on the other side or you face a league of blitzing 7 str FS's or whatever)

If there is some valid criteria for changing the stats shown for offense with something that can be tracked, go for it. Maybe have it be the #hurries per play, sacks per play. But again you would have to eliminate any time the player has a play in ST, which i'm not sure bort has tracking for right now.

how about hurries and sacks allowed per offensive play then?

That makes sense.

I guess maybe a suggestion could be made to record total "Blocks" as an extra stat to go alongside pancakes.

^ love it.

Might have to adjust for zeros, to give the player with the most plays at the top of the list.
