'crazy gunslinger'...seen that too when the team chokes and abandons the running game which then the coaches allow him to throw interceptions.
Andy should just hand off, then have the element of surprise in his back pocket if he can complete a 30/40 yard pass when called upon.
Using Andy less and less is a good thing.
They drilled the mentality of "a thrown away pass is bettere than a turnover" into his head and made him passive. In about 80 less attempts he only threw 3 less interceptions, not the ratio we were hoping for.
So if that didn't exactly keep the turnovers down, how exactly are you gonna do it from a coaching perspective?
You can't exactly run more, as we were around the league leaders in rushes. You still keep the running mentality, but you can't minimize your QB and expect to win consistently. Let him be free, keep his attempts around the same number but don't hold him back on what to do with them. The turnovers are gonna happen either way, but this way gets more production.
