Aside from the c14 dating there has also been extensive paleographic dating of the Isaiah scroll. That generally comes in with the range 150-100 BC.
It is important to remember that c14 dates the scroll itself while paleography dates the writing. The 202-107 dating is fully consistent with the paleographic dating and further corresponds to the known existence of an actual independent Jewish polity in the second half of the 2d century BC which might have benefited from such a collection of folklore.
