Not true at all. However, you make some bold, disagreeable, misguided statements from time to time. This happens to be one of those times. You are entitled to your opinion, but when its off base and irrelevant to the discussion at hand you're gonna get called on it.
You are basically saying that he is not smart enough to perform and excel on a football field. Did you ever stop and think that the "cluelessness" you speak of might just be a case of being overwhelmed with a new and difficult challenge? It would be completely normal for an 18 year old kid to be lost in front of a camera.

Perhaps Dorial's poor interview skills come from being a shy kid. We know he's very humble, and it wouldn't surprise me at all if he's just uncomfortable with the attention. Doesn't mean he's not smart. I seem to remember that he came in with good grades, and his parents want him to get a good college education.
My opinion is that he's just not yet ready. In HS he didn't have to worry about aggressive guys getting in his face and hitting him like he does now. It takes time to get used to that. The coaches have also said he's thinking about his routes too much, which means it's not instinctive yet. If you watch the plays he's in on, his routes are not crisp. And the fumble play he was in on last week? He had the ball in his hands but wasn't able to wrap it up and keep control of it.
He's learning. I think we'll see flashes of his ability as the year goes along, and he'll be a good receiver next year. And the people who say he'd be starting at their school, or getting involved more....they just don't know what they're talking about. They're ignorant - It's that simple.

It occurred to me that some kids, even adults, are lost in front of the camera. And he probably is overwhelmed. I just think he has a bit of Colby Rasmus, T Greene in him... that kind of deer in the headlights demeanor. He seems like he is kind of sheltered, he seems a bit yellow, which isn't a bad thing. I don't think it would be as big of an issue if the offense was a machine like in past years, but right now it's really causing his weaknesses to be spotlighted.
And kilo, that stuff about intuition, charisma, ect... Yeah I've gone overboard on that.. We went at it for a day about JF and CB and I definitely went too far with it. But the more these SEC fans have watched us, they're saying what I was saying. JF looks like he has no awareness, charisma, or edge. While CB looks like he has that intangible quality that is needed at Qb.
I'll step back to just readin, you guys have a good thing goin, you don't need me causing problems amongst mizzou fans.
