Pure speculation, but I think he can't get KJ turning the ball over every third play last year out of his head. I don't care what the gurus on here say (no offense, truly); even if we can't see them, the fact that we suddenly started flying down the field in chunks in two of our first three games once it became the only way to win says guys are open down the field, specifically in the intermediate middle. Will has to find the confidence to hit those guys earlier in the game. KJ couldn't keep the ball because he didn't have a clue how to read a zone. Will should at this point and I think he does; he just has to trust himself.
