He simply doesn't do it. Give him credit for being able to avoid a rush and complete passes 5 seconds after the snap but don't ever try to shove 'he's becoming a good pocket passer' up my ass.

Do you watch film on Lamar? And even if you do, what qualifications do you have to appraise what you're looking at? If you ask literally any professional analyst, they'll tell you that Lamar does know how to read a defense. So why should I take your word for it if you don't watch film on him and even if you do you don't know what you're looking at?
Just purely based on logic, if Lamar didn't know how to read a defense, he wouldn't be in the NFL. If all it took to play quarterback was being a supremely gifted athlete and throwing a slant/flant, there would be far more athletic players at the position than a guy who is 6'2", 216 lbs., and runs a 4.4. That's not an athletic marvel. Which is where the whole "savant" thing comes in as much as people here want to laugh at it.
