QB1 Julian Sayin (All B1G, B1G Frosh of Year, All American, National Frosh of Year, National Champion)

Would love it honestly. We all crown Howard now because he was unconscious during the playoffs but prior to that everyone was questioning him. And Howard was a fifth year senior with a ton of starts under his belt. He’ll be fine.

I’ve thought the same thing. Howard was good not great and then he was great. Just keep getting reps and gain trust in the whole WR room. Good things will happen.

If you scroll back to the Miami loss last year, I was begging for Kienholz to be put in the game as early as the 2nd quarter

Sayin was a fish out of water under any pressure Miami was getting.

The O line isn't elite enough to protect and single threat QB.

Day left the more versatile, better quarterback leave. It's that simple.

Look at the other side of it: It's on film now. So every coach and every team is going to throw the kitchen sink at him.

He will have seen it all by the end of the year.

So the catalyst for growth is there. We couldn't ask for any better fire for the forge.

He has all the weapons around him and for whatever his other faults, I don't think you could ask for a better QB teacher than Day so I'll give Fessler that same kind of leeway as well.

I personally thought I saw positive signs in the Texas game. Not where we need to be or even want to be but also not where we used to be-kind of thing.

My point is, there is a reasonable expectation for improvement beyond blind faith and sunshine pumping. It's not like the kid can do nothing right. His weakness is like 99% of all QB's-pressure. He's just got to get better recognizing it, dealing with it and ultimately making opponents pay for even trying it.

Even Brady (fuck him) was useless under pressure for years, just go watch his super bowls against the giants.

This team's ceiling is directly correlated to Sayins continued development, I think the tools are there to make it happen, for him personally and the coaching stuff.

I think he takes sacks where a lesser passer takes off and gains yardage/first downs. He holds the ball just a beat or two too long thinking that something he can complete will open up (this is, of course, ignoring for the sake of argument that our Block-O jersey apparently renders a receiver invisible inside the hashmarks) rather than running. By the time he's ready to take off, the pocket has collapsed and he's stacked.
