Understood, my point what that a high Wonderlic score doesn't mean jack when it comes to playing QB in the NFL.

It probably does if you also have the physical skills to go with your Incredible Wonderlic Skills. Obviously, you don't draft any player just because he's smart, but I would avoid most dumb guys, especially at QB, i.e., Ryan Leaf.

Honestly, I believe Alex Smith would have done pretty solid in the NFL if Singletary didn't ruin him.

Meh, he had Mike McCarthy and Norv Turner as coordinators and didn't throw more touchdowns than picks either year. The only year he did throw more tds than picks was when Singletary changed the whole offense to a spread hybrid to make him more comfortable.

Once again, in the nfl nerds get bashed.

That said, scoring too high can be as much of a problem as scoring too low. Football coaches want to command the locker room. Being smarter than the individual players makes that easier. Having a guy in the locker room who may be smarter than every member of the coaching staff can be viewed as a problem — or at a minimum as a threat to the egos of the men who hope to be able when necessary to outsmart the players, especially when trying in some way to manipulate them.

So while McElroy, who was unable to work out due to injury, may be really smart, he perhaps would have been wise to tank a few of the answers.

So basically if you're a smart guy you shouldn't play football. It's for stupid people.

I've always liked McElroy. He comes from a run first offense, has experience with his hands under center. Can make all the throws, a leader, energetic, and apparently he's very intelligent. I wouldn't take him at #1 of course, but whoever is in position to get him will probably come away with a steal. But that's just my opinion.

I have also loved McElroy. I have never understood why people haven't talked much about him being a succesful NFL qb I mean he is a proven winner and has played well in the toughest league in college football. I know his stats aren't mind boggling but Alabama is more of a run first team so he numbers aren't high but he has an above average completion percent and doesnt throw too many picks. I think this kid could end up being the Tom Brady of this years draft.

I think he reminds me of Marc Bulger, not a good arm but very accurate and smart.

Is it just me, or does anyone else feel that GritsRgreat could choose hotter women to take up his avatar space? I mean the current ones are better than the 13 year olds you had, but my goodness, get some pictures that actually show some hot ass.

I was thinking the very same thing before i saw your post. The poses in the pictures aren't fun to look at. :(

      I remember the Huddle consensus over the course of last season and the previous one. Lots of Bryce is a bust, we should've drafted a 4th slot WR, should've kept Wilks, should've kept an armless Cam, etc etc. So... yea... already thought about that. I wouldn't trust the Huddle to detail my car, let alone run a multi-billion dollar professional sports team. 😛

      bold prediction, I think Mike Green will be the best pass rusher in this class, and thats even with abdul carter.  He reminds me of demarcus ware, not just in size and prowess, but even coming from a Sunbelt school (Ware from Troy, Green from Marshall).  I think he is passionate about the sport where I think Carter as the physical freak might not have the heart.  Thats the guy Im sold on and am gonna hammer the table for, I know he's not projected 8, but he is projected like 12-13, so if a slide back can happen and we still get the guy I want, I'm 100% on board. All that said, it takes 2 to tango, I think the Cowboys are the tango-er.  IMO theres a VERY good shot that Jeanty is available at 8.  Why does that matter?  Not only do the cowboys NEED a runningback (dak sucks without a run game), but MORE importantly, gee where did Jeanty play in high school.....Frisco TX, literally Dallas Metro.  Soo, RB is a position of need and the best RB and most blue chip draft selection that  could improve the offense immensly played IN dallas metro AND will be in range for them to move up and pick?  Do ya think Jerry Jones is gonna just say no to the Jersey Sales?  Jerry might have sexually assaulted a woman and attempted to prevent black people from going to school, but he's no idiot (he is).  IMO, we get a good enough package, prlly their first and third,  maybe a conditional later and we move to 12.  We get Green, they get Jeanty, everbuddy happy.
