No. Smith will be above average on the QBR but not high, he's not intended to be a high production QB. Reid trusts Smith cause he can run a WCO and he doesn't make stupid decisions often. This offense relies heavily on a productive run game, quick high completion passes to maintain efficiency and maintaining the turnover differential with good ball protection. We are currently ranked 1st in the TO differential at +13
If you look at past years:
Carolina was #1 in turnover in 2015 and coasted into the SB.*
New England's won the Superbowl with the #2 ranked turnover differential
Seattle was ranked #1 in 2013 (wins SB) and ranked #3 in 2014 in turnover differential (another SB appearance)
But for any of this TO differential to even matter, the offense needs to get its shit together in red zone TD% and the defense needs to improve from being the 5th worst run defense in the league.
