I actually like it better, because McNabb was awesome.  Poor bastard had it rough since the exact moment he was drafted.  All he did was carve out (in my opinion) a Hall of Fame career.

He's in the Hall of Very Good for sure.

Claypool really knocked the combine out of the park. I mean it's not really important for WR but it doesn't hurt.

Last year John Brown said this was the most complex and toughest offensive scheme he had been in....

 

I think the coaches know it’s complex and what’s between the ears matters somewhat and is important. My 2¢

Qb is really the only position I think the wonderlic could/should be a factor. That and maybe Center. Essentially it’s measuring how quickly one processes information, as I understand it. 

I agree somewhat. The bottom line is that it’s a test you can practice for to put up a decent score. WR’s don’t need to hit 30+ but if you can’t hit double digits, you don’t care. It’d be like not training for 3 cone.

 

obviously that doesn’t translate 100% either. But that’s how I see it.

Since 2000, not one QB who's scored less than 16 has proven to be successful for more than a year or two.

How many potential first round quarterbacks scored below that?  Vince Young and Lamar Jackson are the only two that come to mind.

Lamar Jackson also scored a 13.  It's possible this hurts Tua given interested teams can't interview him in person to test his football IQ because of the tomhanksvirus.

Damn that Tom Hanks...

I can’t imagine they make a 6th rd rookie Allen’s backup. Though I do hope they sign a different vet to replace barkley.

Jim Kelly got a 15. Terry Bradshaw and McNair did too.

It's pretty basic information like math and language and problem solving, but the tough part is answering all the questions in the allotted time.

 

I just don't understand how some guys can score so low. It's literally their job to do well on it. They have months to prepare for it. Anyone preparing for the combine should be practicing for it. To me, the score isn't as concerning as the complete lack of preparation, because if you take the test only 2-3 times beforehand and study just a bit, your score should get better and better. But apparently some guys aren't interested at all in preparing for it. I don't think the scores say much about mental ability as much as they say about attitude and willingness to prepare and take things seriously.

 

As a college graduate taking it in my mid twenties I scored a 34 without knowing anything about it. If I studied a bit and took it a few times I bet I could get up to 40 pretty easily.

They were drafted well before 2000.

That was a long, long time ago, though. People didn't prepare for the draft and combine like they do now.

I hate the Wonderlic stuff so much. I think it is beyond pointless. 

 

 

Maybe...but then, it's not your money or job on the line if you select one of the dummies.

Lamar didn't have an agent so the person preparing him for the wonderlic was probably his mom. Don't know Tuas excuse hes surrounded in talent and has guys like trent dilfer working with him.

I made an extremely tasty black bean soup a few days ago. Maybe my best tasting soup ever!

 

 I’m not trying to horrify anyone, but after my wife said she spent her night thinking it was just like contractions, I thought I knew what it felt like to squirt out a baby.  The rest of that delicious soup went down the drain. 

 

Sorry, but you reminded me of that....

Yeah, I was going to bring up the same thing. With how terrible and ill prepared he looked for his pro day, he probably wasn't prepared for anything else either, including the wonderlic. But still, it's his job to prepare for that and he didn't. Or he's just dumb. Not sure which.

You really can’t “prepare” for the wonderlic
