NateDawg Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 I’m not sure the wonderlic sways any GMs opinion one way or the other no matter how bad/good. Vince Young I believe has like an 8. He went I think 3rd overall. With all the interviews and blackboard sessions, pretty sure GMs don’t need math equations to know if a kid has any football smarts.

Well Darnold is Eli and Rosen is Rivers as far as highest rated prospects. Mayfield would be Roethlisberger and Losman would be Allen. It just proves that the favorite isn't always the best.

Rosen is Eli, Darnold is Big Ben, Mayfield is Rivers and I do not know who the hell Losman is and I do not care because Allen is unthinkable.

He's talking about the consensus media ratings on the guys in order, rather than trait based comps. The "consensus" order that year was Eli, Rivers, Rofls, Losman. This year (outside of the ESPN idiots who have to make Kiper not look senile) is roughly Darnold, Rosen, Mayfield, Allen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but it's become a cautionary tale in ignoring low Wonderlic scores. Every other prospective GM learned from their mistake. Much like Manziel is a cautionary tale in ignoring character red flags, which may completely slow the roll on Mayfield. I may not think he's in the same ballpark, but Haslam will not stand to be embarrassed a second time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This should be the takeaway if you’re a reasonably intelligent person running a franchise. They don’t have to score 40+, but I don’t want an idiot.

If they suck in that part and have a low score, then you know they dont have the football IQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's brilliant talking football and can't answer "If 3 bakers can bake 12 pies in 6 minutes, how many bakers are needed to make 36 pies in blah blah blah......", I don't care.

MistaBohmbastic Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Can we at least agree that Wonderlic scores are entirely irrelevant when it comes to football IQ and natural instincts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
