There is a difference between a standardized test like the wonderlick, and being able to break down a teams tendencies and remember which plays they run at which down and distances our of which formations. This takes dedication and passion and hours of study. The Wonderlick takes none of this. It is just a measure of how your brain operates. I scored very high on SAT and ACT and went to LSU on academic sholarship, but my priorities and passions were between my legs, not my ears. Wonderlick shows what you are born with, not what you work for. Comparing Vilma and Simeneauo is like apples and oranges. Bad comparison.
Yeah, but Simoneau reportedly is not only a very bright guy, but pretty football smart too. Film study, breaking down tendencies and all of the other things you brought up seem to apply to Simoneau. He is just not as talented as a guy like Vilma, thus the difference in production.
I remember awhile back there was a thread about some NFL show reporting the Simoneau could probably make it into coaching when his playing days are over.
