you don't need to be smart to play QB...but you do need to be a good decision maker. There are plenty of exmaples of guys playing QB that aren't the sharpest tools in the shed. Besides that I understood this kid had an issue with the clearinghouse, and the clearinghouse has been known to take some time clearing kids at USC. Almost every year some kid gets screwed becaue they can't get there job done inside a small window.
