Which is dumber: The bench press or the Wonderlic?

[RetiredCollegeCoach]

Obviously, both are atrociously useless in predicting performance, or even measuring what they ostensibly measure...but which is worse?

Feel free to also name any combine stat you think is even worse.

Bonus question: Which combine state is most useful?

Wonderlic has shown no correlation between ok field results. It’s absolutely pointless.

Wonderlic.

Oh look, Mr. Thot has an opinion again.

Yeah, a retired college coach knows what a thot is. Keep poking holes in that persona

I wished we could replace the 2 with a reaction time measure.

Learned this from my son (no, not the one you stalked) the other day and have been gleefully using it ever since. Glad you think my dad-joke makes me hip, though. For my next act, I will show you what I'm twerking wit.

The Wonderlic.

Overall probably the Wonderlic but the bench press is essentially worthless as well, especially for WR/DBs.

Wonderlic means nothing when you have monsters like Peppers breathing down the back of your neck.

As a neuropsycologist who currently works with NFL players, I could create a much better measure to indicate intelligence.  

Would need a composite test that measures novel problem solving, processing speed, executive function, and working memory. 

The current test is garbage.
