Quarterbacks ought to shield their teammates, not expose them to debilitating, doubtlessly career-threatening accidents.

As a lot because the world modifications, Winston stays the identical. He is nonetheless the turnover-prone quarterback who could not maintain on to a beginning job in Tampa Bay or New Orleans.
In Sunday’s 27-10 loss to the Chargers, Winston was 26-of-46 for 235 yards, one landing and three interceptions.
He was inaccurate, pressured the ball the place it should not go and was lucky solely to throw the three interceptions.
In different phrases, it was a quintessential Winston efficiency.
Love’s turnovers are formally an issue.
The Packers misplaced 24-14 to the Lions, and Love threw an terrible interception late within the second half to provide Detroit a 17-3 lead.
Love was pressured and tried to dump the ball off to working again Josh Jacobs however didn’t account for Joseph.
The play marked Love’s seventh consecutive begin with an interception, the longest by a Packers quarterback since Brett Favre (2006).
Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith
Smith threw three interceptions in Seattle’s painful 26-20 additional time loss to the Rams, his most interceptions in a sport since he went 2-of-8 for 5 yards and three interceptions in a 2014 Week 8 loss to the Payments.
Smith wasn’t practically as unhealthy on Sunday. He completed the sport with 363 yards and three touchdowns and led the Seahawks on an eight-play, 73-yard drive with beneath two minutes left in regulation to tie the sport at 20-20. Then once more, Seattle would not have wanted the late rating had Smith performed higher all through the sport.
