If Watson throws that ball up the seam, it's a big gain. But that's where the disguise came into play. If Watson was able to read the zone coverage, he would've been more likely to watch for the seam route.

Only if you know they are going to do it. You would have to find a tell. Not going to do that in a week. I don’t know how you would tell they are going to do this. WRs would have to react mid play and the QB would have to know exactly how the receivers will react. Or you could just keep running someone up the seam and hope you catch them doing it. I don’t really see any downside to it.
Watson just isn’t that good at reading defenses yet.
