I was one of the early nit-pickers on Will.
See here.
Post in thread 'QB1 Will Howard (National Champion, Pittsburgh Steelers)'

And his early problems showed up once the Bucks hit big 10 play as predicted. Tossing INTs against 6 of 9 B1G opponents, a pick six against Penn State and 2 against scUM.
Even with his first snap, Will had 2+ years of game starting experience over Sayin'.
You are correct that Justin had a full season to learn the offensive structure, language and time to begin building chemistry with his pass catchers and Oline.
I suppose I correlate the current QB situation to a certain phrase - "knowledge is when information meets experience"
Sayin has a ton of information I'm sure the coaching staff is preparing him to use. But he will not cultivate wisdom without starting experience.
Much like Howard did, I expect some early struggles. Although for different reasons.
