I'm not overlooking it. There are, in many cases, very good reasons he isn't going 3 deep. As you've noted, the plan isn't to get to a 3rd read and often the ball is coming out correctly to 1 or 2. Perhaps the protection isn't allowing it. All those things are true.

But to say he's going to 3+ reads is giving him credit for things he's not actually doing yet just because he hasn't demonstrated that he WON'T do it yet. That's not a great trap to fall into.
