In today’s football, turnovers are avoided at all cost. Look at the stats for Jake and other “great” QBs in the 80’s and 90’s. They would be viewed as turnover machines in today’s game. Plays that stretch the field are becoming more and more rare today as coaches control every aspect of the game. Most coaches now want game breakers on the edge who turn a 5 yard play into a 30+ yard play. Unfortunately, we don’t have a WR group who can do that.
