Three times during their current four-game losing streak, the Las Vegas Raiders have been put behind the 8-Ball by the performance of their quarterback. No single person is to blame for Geno Smith's eight interceptions in those three games, or his league-high nine interceptions this season, though plenty of accountability has been flimsily nudged away from the quarterback.
Even though they all land on his stat line, a quarterback is not always at fault for the interceptions he throws. Tipped balls, a receiver running the wrong route or a defender simply making a great play all come into the equation.
