Wasn't peyton an 18 lol

 

EDIT: Nope. 28.

The only starting QB in the league that falls under "not successful NFL QB" criteria given by Gugny is Tyrod lol. BTW Dan Marino got the same score as Tyrod.

 

Go back and read it again. Get a partner if you need to.

Try again. IMO.

It boggles my mind that simple testing and correlation of tests vs. performance needs to be explained.

 

I'm losing faith in humanity with every post that mentions Kelly and Marino.

It was a different era. You're comparing apples to oranges. Offenses were nowhere near as complex as they are now.

If you look at composites of scores - the majority of best players land right around 25-30. In other words, average. Any testing mode where the majority ends up in the middle, it is indicative of nothing.

 

There are great players above the magical score of 15-20, and great players below the golden-magical standard of 15-20.

Too high of a wonderlic score is indicative of too much time studying and not enough time developing football instincts.-You look at the great QBs...and only Rodgers and Brady at 35 and 33 have above 30 scores.

Elway,Montana,Marino,Favre,Kelly,Peyton etc are ..well...academically a touch on the slow side.

Peyton Manning scored 28, brother Eli 39, how did that translate onto the football field?

 

Cam Newton scored 21, about the league player average. Does Cam struggle reading Defenses or running the Panther Offense? In my opinion, no

LOL! the ideal wonderlic is between 20 and 29.

It's been stated numerous times already by various posters. A score below 20 guarantees failure as a QB. A score above 20 means you have a chance. A chance that is equal to every other QB who scored above 20. Meaning not very great of a chance. Below 20 is a disqualifying factor imo.

Players in general? Yes. QBs (the point of this thread)? No.

Morris Claiborne scored a 4 on the Wonderlic!

 

Not a QB but still. And we are reported to be interested. Yikes!

yeah right offenses now are like advanced mathematics...thats why we have such brilliant players to carry out these doctoral thesis level gameplans

laid out by these genius ex jocks.

Some people struggle with standardized testing. For many the pressure is much more intense than what they see on a sports field, or within film study.

 

A learning disability wouldn't affect your ability to read and react on the field, but it will affect your ability to read and write.
