That's such a defeatist attitude, assuming that Smith "forcing" the ball to his receivers (which isn't what anyone is actually saying, but that's another topic) will automatically result in turnovers and losses.
Smith attempting passes into tighter coverage could just as easily result in long gains or penalties, a team that's able to better sustain drives, a team that's loosening up defenses and opening up more in the running game earlier in the day, and a team that's still 3-0 and looking formidable in all phases of the game.
Not all change is necessarily bad...
Yes there's some risk. But there's also a real potential for reward. There's something to be said for playing it safe, but there's also something to be said for trusting your playmakers and giving them opportunities to make something happen.
