2023 Fall Camp Thread

This isn't true.
2AM had 42 turnovers in his first three years. (18, 12, 12)
Jeff Sims has 31 in his first three years (18, 9, 4)
And if you'll notice, most of Sims' came as a freshman. He has gotten better every year to the point he only had four as a junior, three INTs and one lost fumble. He gets a bad wrap as turnover prone mostly due to his freshman season. If he turns the ball over the same rate he did last year, we'll be fine.

Fact Check: missing context - while I agree with the overall sentiment, he fails to disclose that Sims was also injured a shit ton his Junior year, so chalking up "only 4 turnovers" to him getting better is misleading at best

But each year his interceptions per attempt significantly improved:

2020 - 1 INT for every 20 attempts
2021 - 1:27
2022 - 1:63

An interception every 63 attempts is actually decent. It was good for the 27th lowest int % in the country last year.

Not really - his INTs per pass attempt was half of what Casey Thompson had last year and his line was as bad as ours and he didn't have Trey Palmer. Sims did play about 7 full games. He had 87 rushes, 1 fumble, 3 INTs (188 attempts).
