The Playbook and Golson
Could Kelly have managed Golson a little better by releasing a bit more of the playbook to Golson (than he had in 2012) but not so much as he actually did?
Is there a balance that would have potentially cut down on the turnovers but allowed us to have scored more (or at least as many) points?
And by cutting down on the turnovers - especially in red-zone - helped the D a bit?
Kelly seemed to have done an incredible job at this in 2012. A little less so last year but was so limited by Rees's down field throwing ability.
Did he get this years's balance wrong a bit?
Or did Kelly just feel that he had to put as many plays out there as possible to give the Offense a chance to score? But in doing so maybe overestimated Golson's football level maturity?
The man can still call a game and can set up some game winning plays that are really incredible. The last play call of the game versus FSU was brilliant as was the fake WR screen in the ASU game.
Or does Golson simply have to learn to hold on to the damn ball?
