MJS Posted April 28, 2018 Posted April 28, 2018 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.

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

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.

Wayne Cubed Posted April 28, 2018 Posted April 28, 2018 JP Losman - 31 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. 1
Buffalo_Stampede Posted April 28, 2018 Posted April 28, 2018 (edited) High Wonderlic means he can retain information. Doesn't mean he can apply that information post snap in less than 3 seconds. Edited April 28, 2018 by TheTruthHurts
Doc Brown Posted April 28, 2018 Posted April 28, 2018 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.

wppete Posted April 28, 2018 Posted April 28, 2018 I think Horrible Harry scored 40 on his wonderlic.

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.
artmalibu Posted April 28, 2018 Posted April 28, 2018 No one measurable guarantees success but the more good measurables the better.

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).
