Alex Smith played in 174 games and threw 101 receptions. In other words, he played almost exactly 11 years worth of games and threw under 10 interceptions a year for his career. That's exceptional. Alex Smith's INT per game was .58. Peyton Manning for example, was 94. 251 INT's in 265 games, or almost double Alex Smith's ratio.
The problem is that Alex got his turnovers that low by taking less chances. Alex Smith's TD per game is 1.14. Manning's? 2.0.
Patrick Mahomes? A whopping 2.5.
It's the old Marty conundrum. You "won't" lose if you don't turn the ball over but you CAN'T win if you don't score.
