If the defense can win games despite the offense putting up 3 points in the 2nd half of games, I'm sure they could still make up for some turnovers from a QB who would also stretches the field.
Sure, there's field position and possible pick sixes to worry about, but some of that would be offset by a QB who can stretch the field (Cassel was the worst of both worlds... turnovers and couldn't make plays). Also, Geno's QB rating and TD/INT ratio is much worse in the 2nd half.... part of that is probably due the turnovers in the 1st half, but with a better defense, maybe they don't get behind as much in the first half so he's not pushing to catch up in the 2nd.
