It goes without saying that QBs that are play makers have turnovers (INTs, I am not talking about fumbles here). If you are making plays, pushing the ball down the field, being aggressive, things happen and INTs will happen.

It used to be we would watch a star BYU QB throw a couple INTs and think little of it because we knew we were going to score a TD on the next drive.

Then comes our recent defensive woes and, largely because of scheme but also personnel, if we threw on pick, the game seemed out of reach. No way could that defense recover. So, in order to cover for that weakness in our defense, we told our play maker QBs to play tight and focus more on limiting turnovers than making plays.

We have predisposed ourselves to think that INTs are the worst thing a QB could do. They aren't. Not consistently leading the team to the end zone is the worst thing QBs can do and so many things, RBs not picking up blitzes, OL holding on long runs, etc., can happen there.

We finally seem to have a defense that can allow our offense to have a different mentality. We can finally be aggressive.

If we are going to get granular on judging turnovers from the QB position, let's break up the ones for being aggressive from the ones being bone-headed.
