And Dak isn’t even that great at throwing the deep ball. He’s a one-read QB, that took three years to even start taking advantage of the isolation routes guys like Gallup and Cooper were facing on a regular basis. All his deep yardage is basically thar, otherwise against zone coverages he very rarely takes risks and throws deep.

The fact is, that is all Dak has taken advantage of and any QB worth a grain of salt would do it regularly. Cooper had to yell at him in the middle of the game to throw the go-route because Schwartz had his CBs sit on the routes, with NO SAFETY HELP on Cooper. Schwartz didn’t even defend Goff that way, Cooper had to bail this incompetence out and yet, all we hear is about how it’s Cooper’s fault.
And it’s no surprise that when the Colts shadowed a safety over to the side of Cooper, Dak went scoreless.

This is more than enough evidence to point out how much of a one-read QB Dak is. Even with Lamb now from the slot, you can see Dak never taking his eyes of him. That amazing catch from the slot by Lamb, but it almost resulted in him getting his head taken head off. 52 against the Browns read Dak twice in a row on play-action going to his first read and had a would-be INT if he didn’t let it sail right through his hands, when he jumped the route. And the DBs at the end of the game with the Browns jumped the Cooper route, because Dak did the same thing earlier on the TD, but the CB took a bad angle but read Dak all the way.
