Kelly and Marino, along with other low wonderlic scorers over the years, were able to allay the concerns about the poor test performance with their ability to impress with their football knowledge in interviews, including in depth breakdowns on the chalkboard. It's been reported that Jackson has not been impressive in his interviews when it comes to breaking down various plays and retaining various information. That's what makes a low score a red flag. 

Ahhh   the 80's      What a time.....     2 party boys from central Pennsylvania   did people expect better?

I don't mean to single out Kelly and Marino, but they are two HOFers often mentioned in the low wonderlic discussions. And yeah, nobody ever confused them with keen intellects so I don't think much was expected in that department, lol. But they could break down a defense and expound on various defensive concepts and why certain offensive schemes may work against them during the interview process in their draft years. That's all that matters to teams and I'm concerned about the reports of Jackson's poor performance along those lines in his various interviews so far.

I took a practice version on my lagging phone and still got a 31. I bet it wasted 2 minutes of my time.

It was a joke and you failed at understanding. An a-hXXe can be anyone between 1-50 on the Wonderlich. Sorry to confuse.

I know but why is it a joke that he is an A-hxxe? What did that have to do with the twitter feed? Is the guy that posted it an A-hxxe, I don't know him.

No worries.

 

26CP  mentioned Dan Marino,  but failed to include Jim Kelley.  If you lived through the late 70's and early 80's at the right age you would understand the mentality I spoke of.  

I really don't think they gave a crap.  

 

I wonder what Terry Bradshaw's # was.  Talk about a good old country boy.  

 

in today's Social Awareness  world   much and more matters

Well lamars is not as bad as Vince Youngs first test of 6 or Jeff George's 10. Lamar was dumb not to get an agent, probably would have made him study harder, even a couple more points would have made a difference in perception. I think Vince Young  got a 14 eventually. 

 

Side note does  anyone know what leodis Mckelvin had as a wunderlich, no way it could have been to high.

Why do I feel like Allen is either going to go #1 overall or drop out of the top 15.  This kid's offseason is something to behold

The Wonderlic ain't easy.  Try taking one sometime and see how you do.  Props to anyone who got 30 or higher, you got serious gray matter.  20-29 aren't slouches either.

 

First time I took it I got a 44

FWIW:

 

Useless? That's simply not true. If you have ever taken it you can tell it does measure intelligence plus brain processing speed.

 

It is not the end all for a player but, it's definitely not helping Lamar.

Do we have any more relevant comparisons than two guys drafted 35 years ago?

 

The very fact prospects today know teams put stock in this, and they have the ability to prepare for it, tells me a lot about a player if he does poorly.  I wouldn't draft a guy who showed up to the combine fat and out of shape no matter what he did in college, just as I wouldn't draft a QB who bombed the test when he knew it was coming.

I've been thinking the Bills should stay put and take Jackson at 12. I don't think the other 4 will be there. But that score would make me take him off the board. Think now the Bills have to at least get to 6. Otherwise let's hope Edmunds or the Georgia LB are still there at 12 and shoot for a Lauletta type in Rd 2 or 3.

If they miss out on one of the top four, this draft is a fail.
