QB wonderlic scores


Recommended Posts

Make no mistake,

 

Tyrod Taylor's low wonderlic score (15) poses a very signicant undertaking and obstacle to overcome for the Bills new HC. Taylors work ethic and game managment skills over the last two seasons may have played an important part in McDermotts decision to roll with the fast moving wheels of T Mobile.

Please tell me more about these game management skills of which you speak.

The wonderlic is measurement which has more to do with agent's preparation of client like any test you cram for. Some candidates may not take the preparation seriously (one top drafted QB in 2014 was supposedly partying in to early AM before test) and some may not have communication skills which will show up in interviews.

A significant part of being a successful quarterback is putting an absurd amount of hours into game preparation. If you need your agent to help you prepare or you choose not to prepare at all, I would think that would be more damning in the eyes of NFL scouts than would a low score.

I'm curious why you feel this way.

 

Because he's listened to the steady drumbeat of nay-sayers over the past decade or so who seek to discredit all standardized testing as 'unfair' or some other such nonsense.

 

It's become the reflex thing to say. Also in this category: "teachers give too much homework" or "homework doesn't benefit students"

Do you honestly believe Jim Kelly or Dan Marino are not smart enough to run a modern day NFL O ?
