I would say that is a pretty accurate assumption to make after 5 games of his true Freshman year.

i saw him play in hs down here in springfield. the kid's a stud. he's just an idiot for smoking pot on campus. hopefully i can say that since he's not a hs athlete? give him a year to straighten out hopefully. then i can see him being the elite receiver he is made out to be.

Lmmfao sawdust gd one! He messed up he'll b alright

I think we all should remember he is still very young, and as a young person, we all know that we don't always use our best judgement. He is a great athlete with unbelievable talents. I'm sure coach P will help guide and support him. He deserves a chance to make it right.

When they let it go in college then all of a sudden it is no big deal if they become pro. Maybe that is what is wrong with our athletic system and the perception it casts to the public. "It's always, well he/she goofed it won't happen again!"

You don't have to crucify these kids or pros but make it to where the kids that look up to them know that this is unacceptable..........period!

This kid is an outstanding athlete and needs to live up to a certain standard when he is a scholarship athlete! He does deserve another chance but he also needs to be under a BIG microscope making him think about it and his future choices!

I assume you're joking, but DGB hasn't been lazy on the field. He's been highlighted in the game film sessions for his downfield blocking and the TD he scored last Saturday was mainly a result of his will to find the endzone. He went down and got a low pass and broke a tackle. He hasn't been thrown at much because he isn't high in the reads. Obviously, Moe is usually the first receiver looked at many times. And, I'm not sold on Franklin's ability to check through more than a couple reads on a play. Part of that is the line not giving him time, however.

Unfortunately i got my hopes up and thought he might have maclin or danario type speed. Aint happenin. He may have appeared fast in hs but he hasnt impressed me like a 5star should. He's good but not special. Not a good sign he cant lay off the dope.

Exactly my thoughts! Franklin is not even on the same map as Chase! And don't forget that Mizz had 2 all american TE's that took a lot of pressure off of Maklin! DGB will be fine remember he's only 18 or 19 has a lot of growing up to do

Maclin and danario could blow past oklahomas dbacks, who were always the fastest in big12. Rarely if ever has zou had speed to outrun sooners. Dgb hasnt the speed to be what i'd call special, as he exhibited vs carolina and georgia. Maybe he'd excel as a tite end like rucker? Just my opinion that he's been way overhyped.

Percy harvin uses marijuana and he's successful.. I don't tho k his personal time habits have anything to do with his play

Usain bolt is fast.

The number of college athletels that use mariujana as a social drug is astounding. Most people don't notice this obviously because majority don't get caught in the process. DGB just got unlucky, even though he was smoking on campus. IMO, there isn't much difference between this and receiving some type of alcohol charge. Like stated above, this is similiar to being put in time-out compared to what some other SEC schools are facing as far as discipline problems right now. Don't judge the kid. A freshman mistake, plus it'll probably blowover soon.

He gets caught smokin a J and hes now become an addict, hes a bust, he cant run fast, this is becoming hilarious. Over 80% of Americans have done what Dorial did Weds night. He got caught, most do not. He'll be fine, he is an 18 year old kid who made a mistake. He has good parents, he has good coaches.

I know a few people personally that played with him on select teams during high school and they used to tell me he smoked a lot. I shrugged it off but it's obviously true. If you were to conduct a survey of college athletes on drug and alcohol use some of you would be very surprised as to how prominent it is. Professional athletes do it to. No, it's not legal, but nobody cares as long as they don't hear about it and that player is getting them a win in Saturday or 20 fantasy points on Sunday.

To say DGB doesn't have the speed you were expecting is ignorant. He could've went just about anywhere in the country to run track. He's an enormous guy of course it doesn't look like he's moving as quick as the 6'2" guy along side him. Some people didn't think Kony would end up doing that well at mizzou. Then he went through a year and out on a bunch of muscle and gained some skill. Let's face it, DGB is a much better natural athlete than Kony is or was. Give him a year to bulk up and improve his football knowledge and the guy will be unstoppable.

Pot smoking is stupid. If you get caught with it, you deserve the humiliation you get. I think coaches should go for the three game suspension for getting arrested personally. Not just in this case but in general. It'll teach kids that there are consequences to actions but of course the games are more important. Some schools are doing better to teach kids responsibility for their actions. Hugh Freeze, the new coach at Ole Miss will make a kid sit a quarter if they miss a class. We haven't seen what happens for a major violation yet but the focus for these kids to a degree needs to be on being students as well as athletes. I hope DGB learns a lesson from this but I doubt it.

Because I've seen enough pothead college athletes in my time. Didn't say he wouldn't learn his lesson. Just don't think he will. Gotta love the Mizzou apologist honks like Perkinsballer/DaleDoback.

Wow what an argument about how much other people do it. That's crap. What is this, middle school!? "but mooooom, everyone else is doing it". he has amazing talent, and this week he will contribute as much talent to the game as I will, none. And that's a shame. I also feel, me being a cancer survivor, I can't stand to see people harm their bodies on purpose. I feel like I can judge them. Maybe it's just one mistake, or as semosports reports, maybe it's not. But sometimes one is all it takes! And he is 18 or 19, playing SEC college football. It's time to grow and start being a man. He's gotta put away childish stuff. We don't call our 18 year olds in the military kids, their young men. I bet the ones in Vietnam didn't feel very much like kids. So I think people are making a lousy argument. And you can say we're getting worked up over something small, but to me it's not something small. Society has made it something small, but that still doesn't make it right. Hey maybe he will bounce back better than ever, or maybe he won't. Only time will tell. But COME ON MAN!

Im not upset whatsoever. I could care less. Truth is the amount people acting like this is a big deal is mind blowing.

The amount of people who think this is something small is mind blowing.

Nope. Had enough sense in me not to.

I would take issue with the claim "80%" do it! And even if that were true, I would still maintain it is a "very big deal!"

might not be 80% but at least over 50% have tried it

I know alot of stuff on DGB nobody else does its alot more than smoking pot, football wise he isn't able to understand offense. When that happens in college, I would be reluctant to draft in a pro system.

Maybe they can frame his mugshot next to Pinkels
