I disagree with this take. He gave his guy an opportunity to make a clutch play; why would any starting QB expect his emerging star WR to be lolly-gagging, not even looking for the ball in that situation?
I know we all love Shaheed, and he’s one of my favorite players on the team, but if he does what most WRs of his ilk does in those situations and simply pays attention, at absolute worst, it’s an incomplete pass, but more likely, it’s a clutch reception at a critical moment.
Drew Brees did something very similar at the end of the 2018 NFC Championship Game…was that an eternal rookie mistake
