If it took Sage 8 years to learn that "Hey, turnovers are not a good thing for my team, maybe I shouldn't do that," then I think I know why he's never been given the chance to be a starter.
In all seriousness, every QB knows turnovers are the absolute worst thing you can do, that generally you shouldn't throw into double coverage, you shouldn't throw across your body (particularly when throwing back across the field), etc. Heck, most have known it since junior high. However, knowing it and not doing it in the heat of battle are 2 completely different things. Sage is who he is. I'm sure he knows all these things in the calm of a Monday afternoon interview. However, in the game, he takes unnecessary chances. Always has and always will. It's one reason he has never been, and likely never will be, a starter.
