JJ is a gifted athlete that got by on that at the HS level. My old HS coach was the O-cor at Destrhan when he was a JR and SR and they ran a 1 or 2 read offense to make sure it wasn't to hard to run. He thrived in that system and became a championship QB and national recruit. UT ran an offense that was a limited read offense with VY and won a title with it. I'm not saying the kids stupid or can't learn it but EVERYONE learns at a different rate of speed and his may be a little slower then someone elses. The fix for that isn't to try to shove it down his throat it's to scale it back a little and maximize what he does well and take some of the pressure off of him. The clock managment stuff is a coaching error and we can all see why he isn't better at that. You don't have to be a genius to play this game, even at QB, if the coaches know how to design it to fit you. JR wasn't a genius either but Jimbo knew how to put him in better situations to limit mistakes. MF wasn't a superb athlete but they didn't ask him to make plays he couldn't. JJ needs to communicate with the coaches and swallow his pride a little and say "coach I'm struggling with this, can we do it an different way so that it's easier for me to read it or see it on the field" It's not as hard as everyone tries to make it, just coach the kids that you have and don't ask people to be things they're not.
