You're not calling that play without the deep route being #1.
The answer to the question is you cannot say for certain. Assumptions and opinions are not factual. Maybe he missed an opportunity over the top to NA or maybe he made the right read... nobody here knows and can say with certainty what the progression in McDaniels play design is.
"Yeah, I think with that type of play, it's just kind of hard sometimes to read it out as best you can because there's no one protecting," the rookie QB said on WEEI's "Merloni and Fauria." "Not because they don't want to; it's just not part of the play. It's just a one-and-done deal because I'm by myself. When James threw it back to me, I just saw Jonnu flash in front of me and got it out really quick. Yeah, I think if you go back and watch it, I definitely could have held the ball and maybe either looked before I caught it to see if there was anyone around me. I just didn't really have as good of awareness as I should have had. But yeah, it's plays like that where you look at it and it was a good play call and I could have definitely executed better."
