Everybody points to the Kyle Williams fumble as the thing that lost Smith that game. And yes, it lines up with the importance they place on not turning the ball over. That's definitely a consistency.
But you can't just rely on that. Ball carriers fumble. Bad special teams plays happen. Those are things that a QB can not control, and if your game is predicated upon eliminating those mistakes, you can still wind up in those situations even if you play mistake-free football.
I, personally, would rather just rely on one guy (the QB) to be perfect than rely on the entire team to be perfect. It's easier that way.
