I've never seen a team assign a receiver the job of outjumping a defender in close coverage on a consistent basis. That is a low percentage assignment but it is the one given to Malachi. Its stupid football, but its how we use Dupre's athleticism.
Nevertheless much of the criticism is very well founded in that Dupre never seems to get much separation, because he doesn't run good routes and he plays with no heart. If you are going to win jump balls and can't shake a defender in coverage, the only way you succeed is to want the ball a lot more than the other guy. Malachi doesn't.

When you have a 6'5" receiver and under 6' DB's, and he's in single coverage down the field, it's kind of stupid not to throw it to him.

It's only stupid b/c he isn't good at it, despite the supreme advantage of his natural abilities that should help him succeed at this.
