Also, I have no idea what you're talking about - he hasn't had to diagnose an NFL defense. ..because ....get this...he's not in the NFL. You shouldnt confuse what he is not asked to do with what he can't do. I simply raised the question, is it possible that he read the COLLEGE defense and is asked to predetermine his read?

Talking out of both ends.... we're really kicking the horse at this point.
You like Lance at 12, I like him in the second or third round. I'd rather take Newman in the 4th and fill more appropriate needs.
How is that talking out of both ends, lol. Again, you have a YouTube highlight video as evidence that he can't read a defense, because he stared down his 1st receiver on a handful of deep throws, despite not knowing what was asked of him, nor what he saw presnap. I can say that there are instances where he forgoes the layup to try and (wrongfully) get the big play, but in direct refute to your original post, we have no idea if he saw a mismatch presnap, if he saw his receiver beat his man at the line, or if his coach called a coverage beater and told him to hit the deep ball. We do know that his team runs a lot of mirror concepts and ask him to only read half of the field, likely because of his lack of experience.
That said, I too went to the toilet and typed in trey Lance full game on YouTube and the first game to pop up was vs south Dakota state in 2019. I do tend to take long poops, but without taking the time to try and decipher coverages, without taking the time to try and decipher route concepts to know the correct order of the reads, and without endzone view to be able to see his eyes and subtle head movements, I watched each pass play to see if he stared down his 1st read. Keep in mind, I am not accounting for situation, such as a designed read in the redzone. Also not accounting for the duration of time from snap to throw, which means some of the "1st read" throws are because it was the correct read, and not because of a stare down.
Play 2: not 1st read, underthrown
Play 6: not 1st read, good ball
Play 9: 1st read, overthrown
Play 10: not 1st read, good ball
Play 12: not 1st read, scramble
Play 13: 1st read, pbu (thrown a bit inside)
Play 14: not 1st read, good ball
Play 17: not 1st read, decent ball
Play 20: not 1st read, sack
Play 21: not 1st read, good ball
Play 23: not 1st read, good ball
Play 27: 1st read, good ball
Play 29: 1st read, good ball
Play 31: 1st read, good ball
Play 32: 1st read, good ball
Play 34: not 1st read, good ball
Id like to see more snaps obviously, and i'd like to see some better placement on a few of the throws.
I think NY posted earlier a break down from Waldman of some of things he can do well. Of course he has a lot of room to develop, but he is likely the 4th QB off the board after all. I'm banking that shanny can mask his deficiencies early, and that he can develop with time into an elite qb
