QB Wonderlic Scores

[MasterAwesome]

Are the people dwelling about NFL QB Wonderlic scores the same people who were "ROFLMAO" about the importance of long arms for NFL OTs?  I feel like you can make a much stronger case for the latter.

Zappe and Howell, you are the winners of career backup with the transition to future NFL coach.

CONGRATULATIONS!

Speed actually can directly correlate to success on the field. I've never seen anything to suggest that wonderlic scores correlate at all to success on the field. It's a generic "IQ" test with questions that aren't relevant to football at all. There are a lot of dumbasses who can see the field and understand the game. And a lot of insanely smart people who can't. Also plenty of people don't test well when under pressure in a situation like that, and a lot of NFL prospects don't take it seriously knowing that it isn't really much of a factor. NFL teams don't really care about it. There's a reason it's going away.

It's not a coincidence that the average Wonderlic score of SB winning QBs is significantly higher than average. Someone posted it earlier. It's close to 30.

No, it's not the end all be all but it's a relevant data point to consider.

Agree with this. It is the same as all other testing. A bad or good score will make you go back to make sure you didn’t miss anything in your evaluation. It is not a definite one way or the other. 
If I saw this score from Pickett I would really make sure he is football smart. Or does he need five years to learn a new system? It would be stupid to just dismiss this, but one should instead verify to make sure it isn’t an issue.

Totally agree.

It's not the end all, nor nothing.  It's just another useful tool in the tool box.

IMO there are certain positions that it's likely a little more useful than others: QB, MLB, C, and TE...but QB is more important than the others.

Yet somehow, an Ivy League QB has managed to carve out a respectable career in the NFL.  Point being, he has lingered around when he probably shouldn't have.  I think his football IQ has kept him around longer than his athletic ability.

Dude has made like 90 million bucks....and counting.

Grab Zappe in the fifth, get our backup now (we do need one) and then move on to grab a starting QB next season.
