QB Wonderlic test scores leaked (1 Viewer)

The test is one of many effective measures.

It’s not the be all end all, and you can always find outliers like in any of the assessments these players go through....

But all other things equal, give the the QB with the higher Wonderlic than the lower one.

Ability to have your brain solve multiple/complex things quickly. That’s a good thing.

Those are all pretty good scores. Every single one is higher than Taysom's

Jeff George was terrible and Gore/Lewis are not QBs

Jeff George wasn't a world beater for sure. But he was good enough to play for 15 seasons. Most of the Saints' QB's (since 1967) didn't last that long. One of his best was in '97 with the Raiders (TD to INT ratio was 29 - 9), with nearly 4K yds. QBR: 91. His career QBR was 80.

Was Ray Ray's job of setting the defense to attack the opponent's offense any LESS demanding than that of QB?

Say what you want, but a RB has to be cerebral (game smarts) as well. Frank Gore was just that. Think back to Antonio Pittman (4th round pick, IIRC), who was beat out by Pierre Thomas back in '07.

LOL I got like 15 questions in and saw that I was only about 20% of the way through and stopped. That thing is a slog.

Yeah I mean I wasn't really making any point. I do believe that intelligence is overrated for all NFL players. What you need is football IQ for your position. For QBs it's spatial awareness and quick processing of information, for RBs it's timing and pattern recognition, etc.

I don't think the Wonderlic matters much, especially given that it's socio-economically biased and no correlation to someone's ability to process information quickly like a QB needs to do.

I think that as long as they're above some baseline intelligence, which is just having the ability to learn a playbook, Wonderlic scores are mostly worthless.

So I'm agreeing with your original point I suppose

What was his score?

 

[Loose Cannon]

What was his score?

17, which is more than fine for a QB. Just throwing it out there to stave off the inevitable "Tua is dumb lol" posts - 19 is not a terrible score.

Yup. I tried it before, but it was a headache. I didn’t even want to finish it because I knew my score would suck. Lol. Some people just aren’t test-takers. I am some people.

Lol “but he’s just a bad test taker!”

 

[St.Dan]

Nice information, but it’s not the only predictor of success at the pro level. Has Brees’ score from 2001 ever been leaked?

 

[Loose Cannon]

Lol “but he’s just a bad test taker!”

My little Brayden is a baby genius, he's just not very good at tests.
