OT: Wonderlic Scores

http://www.unc.edu/~mirabile/Wonderlic.htm........................having trouble with the link........ Somebody in another forum posted this and i thought it was pretty interesting.....according to the test we had the smartest quarterbacks in football in 2003 with Romo and Henson....I also find it pretty funny that Quincy also scored pretty well but always seems to be doing stupid things.....these scores dont mean much as proven so far by Vince Young but it still would be interesting to find out the scores of our other rookies and see if our front office tend to draft players with higher scores instead of talent??....just something to think about..... also alot of cowboy fans wanted us to draft either jason allen or ko simpson and their scores are 11 and 10 respectively.....stanley had an 8 and green got an 11.......

they simply measure intelligence
thats all, and some positions, like qb especially, require a great deal of intelligence. My understanding is that Romo scored a 36 which is a very high score and confirmed by Parcells saying thats his best asset. Its obvious they way he reads defenses and makes smart decisions for a player with very limited playing experience.

Hey, the jury is still out on Vince Young as a qb. I can remember Vick doing those things when he was a rookie as well and now he's being critized for not being able to master the west coast offense.

I think its a valuable tool for grading college prospects. There are a lot of coaches who like having smart players on their teams, Parcells being one of them.

In Romo we Trust

The Wonderlic
Is a horrible predictor of NFL success, as it is often touted.

Sure the jury's still out on VY, but look at some of the guys who have scores comparable to his 15.

Dan Marino - 15
Terry Bradshaw - 15
Randall Cunningham - 15
Vinny Testaverde - 17
Kordell Stewart - 13.5
Steve McNair - 15
Donovan McNabb - 14

Thats pretty decent company.

Kordell Stewart
are you serious?  Why would you include him in that list?  Are you Kordell Stewart?

there should be an asterik besides Marino's name
my understanding is that Marino smoked a lot of pot his senior year at Pitt which would explain him not having a clear head when he took the test.

I also think it's an insult the other qb's you listed to include them with Kordell Stewart.

In Romo we Trust

i think
he lists kordell among the others to show how irrelevant it is.

any test that says kordell and marino have similar intellects is prob not to be taken seriously

No way on earth
Terry "Plato" Bradshaw scored that high. Outstanding QB, but you have to think someone read the questions to him and explained the big words...
