I will make a prediction. Chris Smith runs for 200+. Chandler Fields has a great opening start with 75% passing and 200+. Zyon Hill causes havoc. Eric Garror has an all conference game with 10 tackles, 1 INT and FF.
A good hot apple turnover with blue bell vanilla is a good thing . . .
If those two things in bold happen, it will mean that we never pulled away enough from Southeastern to put in reserves for any meaningful playing time. 10 tackles by our starting CB means he's extremely busy.which I don't think we want for this Week 1 game vs. an FCS opponent.
Turnovers in an isolated stat are bad. Turnovers as a result of a great passing offense can be a double sided sword.
24-6 touchdown vs interception is great, but I’d trade it for 44-10 touchdowns vs interception. So in a sense those touchdowns, and interceptions are a result of a far better passing attack. Is that a bad thing.
In Alex Smith's final season in KC, 2017, he threw only 5 INTs all regular season, with 26 TD passes, averaging 8.0 yard per pass attempt and a league-leading passer rating of 104.7.
He and the Chiefs went 0-1 in the playoffs that year (though Smith still had a 2 TD to 0 INT game).
In came Patrick Mahomes as the starter for 2018, and he threw more than double the INTs Smith did the previous season (12). He also threw 50 TD passes, averaged 8.8 yards per pass attempt, for a passer rating of 113.8.
They won their first playoff game that post season, before losing to Brady and the Patriots in the AFC Champ game.
So in an instance like that, Mahomes throwing more INTs than his predecessor wasn't necessarily a bad thing, and everyone would agree that Chiefs offense was much more scarier for opponents in 2018. However, while I'd love to be wrong, I do not believe we'll see that sort of same comparison at QB play from Levi to Fields that everyone saw from an efficient Smith to a downright scary and freakish play of Mahomes.
Long story short, I'm hoping for INT numbers like we saw with LL's play the last two seasons.
Well we will have a single season passing yards record and TD records fall.
It will be interesting to see how much scared money Desormeaux spends on 4th down.
