Maybe it has already been posted,  but I was curious about the 2018 QB class scores. I remember hearing that Josh Allen had the highest score by far. Anyone ??

I didn't even know Josh's score but could tell from the way he speaks and interacts he's a smart guy.

 

Those suggesting Josh can't be a cerebral QB like Manning/Brady/Brees are talking out their arses.

Has nothing to do with making a decision within 3 seconds under pressure and accurately delivering a pass. 

 

All this says is Allen can retain a lot of information.

I wouldn't say it "has nothing to do with" decision-making.  And if you read my response I didn't say Josh will become a QB like those others...I said it's ridiculous to say he can't when we can see he has the brain for it.

well I scored a 36  So I am not sure what that means.  Can I be a NFL QB? 50 questions in 12 minutes, I can see how this can show some mental processing speed, but your typical brain training and practice can lift the score.  Guess there is some Value to look at it for a QB in terms of processing speed.

Take the Test, good luck trying to answer all 50 questions in 12 minutes.  So you are likely going to start with a highest able to score of 45 (wont answer all the questions)  So you have 14.4 seconds PER question

The information available in the brain is a key component of decision making, but okay.

The Wonderlic is just one of many aspects of a QBs measurables that should be considered.   There is a reason why its continued to be used.

 

I believe all of the successful QBs in recent times (so please don't go bringing up Jim Kelly or Dan Marino) have had scores at least in the high 20s.  Anyone who scores as low as a 13 probably won't last long in the league.    Vince Young supposedly got a 6 on his first attempt.   In retrospect, thats not surprising.

It indicates he can process information relatively quickly.

Yeah, these aren’t related at all.  Jim Kelly got a 15.  Marino got a 16.  Fitz got a 48.

 

football intelligence is completely different than wonderlic “intelligence.”

I suspect he also has a high emotional intelligence.

The Wonderlic actually does not measure how much info the player can retain. It measures ability to process information, aptitude for learning, and problem solving
