I took a sample wonderlic today and got a 36, so he is smarter than me!

 

Hard to get through all 50 in 12 minutes.

Word is he has a great, witty sense of humor, so there may be hope for him yet.

He adds to the growing collection of hotties our players are dating and/or married to so there is that...

McCarron, Poyer and now Allen are all with total smokeshows

He was forcing them because they were in desperate situations. It wasn't a matter of not being smart, it's that those were the situations where his skills weren't up to the circumstances.

It wasnt so much as it was a dumb throw it was more that he couldnt physically accomplish what his mind was processing. The ball was often late to the sidelines late in games due to lack of arm strength.

Yeah...he wasn't good enough.

I wouldn't want a QB getting below a 20 but saying that where Allen scored relative to good/great Qbs doesn't really correlate to him being successful or being able to read NFL defenses, imo.

Hey.  This may look bad, but at least I was able to compute how much change I should receive buying three candy bars with a ten dollar bill.

Thats what I also like about the test. It’s not only smarts, but processor speed and preparation all weigh in.

37 out of 50.  I bet you scored a 75 :rolleyes:

Had to take one for a job last year.  Literally, the reaction was "We've never seen anyone score this high."

 

But I make up for it with a complete lack of social skills.

Yes, he uses his arm strength to bail himself out of trouble.  Sometimes that's the result; you can just as easily pick other highlights where it works.  In the pros, he'll get eaten alive trying that.

 

That's not a "he sucks/doesn't suck" issue. That's a "Will he be given enough time to develop/be coached out of that?" issue.

Doesnt mean a lot, but I like having a smart dude at QB.   Seems to be a sharp kid which should bode well for a QB.

Some point to Fitzpatrick to argue that the Wonderlic does not mean much.

 

Quite the opposite.  I think that Fitzpatrick has proved that being smart is important.  Without being smart, I doubt that Fitzpatrick would have been able to get to the NFL much less have the decade plus career that he has had.

 

Of course, other tools and abilities also are important as well, but I have to believe that being smart would elevate the game of any QB (even those who have had good careers with relatively lower Wonderlic scores).
