Long being a true freshman has been thrown into the fire quicker than he should have been and one of the hardest things for any qb is reading defenses and knowing when to get rid of the ball to avoid a sack...I see pros that screw this up.   His inexperience and to a point his height hurt him in doing this and he has to learn how to read the pocket and the lack of pocket better when it breaks down.

As for interceptions for AJ and Austin...working with different receivers will screw up the timing and knowing where each one is going to go.  One zigs and the other zags when X happens and we have an interception.  This is why we see such a nice chemistry with AJ and West, they work together a lot.  I thought Austin and Lewis had one too.  The inconsistency of the receiver position  has hurt these young qb's as well along with the obvious oline injury problems.  When the qb is in trouble and is scrambling the receivers have to work and not glide like I've seen them do way too many times.
