The thing is that while turnovers are an important stat, there's a lot more subtext involved than just the simple stat. If Alex was throwing interceptions, it indicates different things for a 12 year veteran or what have you than it does for a second year first time starter. So to simply say: ooh, more turnovers and they're going to lose is way too simplistic. There will also be points created that nobody else could create, for example. And if he throws a pick, but three TD's, then what is that compared to the...oh...practically never that Smith threw 3 TD's in a game. That stat doesn't tell the whole story. If Mahomes is 2 to 1 for the season, we're real damned dangerous come play-off time.
