People over value the importance of yards and td passes though, the most important stat that correlates with winning and losing in the NFL are turnovers. Jim Harbaugh's number one rule for the quarterback was to protect the football over everything else and maybe Smith didn't put up fantasy numbers the last couple of years, but he won a lot of games, including games where they fell behind and he had to bring em back. He had 6 4th quarter comebacks in 2011.

I think the big concern that is if he asked to do more the\an he was asked to do the last 2 years those turnover numbers will increase at a more rapid pace than the positive numbers. It's a very odd combination pairing a QB that traditionally coaches don't want airing it out a lot with a coach that likes to air it out. On the surface it seems like a recipe for disaster. We all hope to hell he gets the numbers you mentioned, but I'd have to say the chances of that happening are not very good.
