Downright incompetent? (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

unqualified

I believe this is a double definition.

'downright' is the first definition.
(eg a downright disaster is an unqualified disaster)

'incompetent?' is the second definition.
(similar in meaning)

(Another definition for unqualified that I've seen is " Absolute - lacking requirements".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
