Joe Montana and Steve Young played in mainly passing offenses very similar to Mart's and they had low interception to TD ratios.

I have always thought that J.Gibbs went overboard treating turnovers as though they were a cardinal sin. Then, after the Giants' 36 - 0 loss, a reporter asked him about turnovers...and for the first time since 1981, I heard Joe patiently explain that turnovers are often caused by simply being outplayed (which is what I'm saying here).
A players production and his mistakes have to be weighed together...production on one side of the scale, mistakes on the other.
