RoyBatty is alive

Premature move imo, the man ended the team on a hot streak and Tua starting to look a bit like an NFL QB.

Now the Bill O'Brien is at Alabama and Urban Meyer is unemployed, think you are 100% correct.

Aaron Rodgers, if this "report" is true, again proves to be a drama queen.

Too expensive and too injury prone.

Well no Efe this week so I guess I will go with Edmunds, i think the rangy LB can get a sack and a pick from the kid Zach Wilson that looks like he is 12 years old. LOL, the great debate for that game was a poll, how much playing time would Trubisky get....I think the winning selection had him playing the entire Q4.

I never knew this, hope that twerp is happy.

THe New York Times effectively got rid of their stand alone sports section a few years ago, Ironic they would buy the Athletic now.

I want to believe in Touchdown Jesus, especially after the perennial wind bag Aaron Rodgers endorsed him BUT his drop versus NEw England tempered my enthusiasm.

I am going again with Efe Obada, the man has been getting closer to getting serious QB pressure

Falcon game was the end of Josh Allen 2021 MVP chatter.

Catching a fastball from Josh Allen throwing a cold slick football can't be easy, even for a pro, the pass off Diggs hands in the end zone last week i think on a warmer day would be a TD 95% of the time. He also resorted to a lot of bullets because the Falcons did a good job of getting their hands up so speed was critical, wonder if that was a goal of the Falcons.

Well we will disagree, the actual name for the test it the The Wonderlic Contemporary Cognitive Ability Test . Is it perfect, not even close, there is no such thing as a perfect standardized test. And I disagree, I think it is easier to coach and/or learn if you have more cognitive ability, easier to coach f you are more smart than another.

I didnt suggest the possibility, I for one think it would be foolish but the "experts" continually change their minds/policy so it is in the realm of actually happening.

Oh so forget mental acumen, it is only physical acumen is it? Mental acumen is related to football? The wonderlic measures mental acumen which is critical for the NFL esp with QBs. Brady example #1. Football related topics are far too subjective and prone to interpretation There is no such thing as a "perfect" or perfectly "fair" standardized test, yes its a bummer but that is the real world.

Well they FAILED, repeatedly by leaking the scores every year so they wont have them anymore.

Jerry Jones would love to host another super Bowl. If California is so covid paranoid move the game, the quicker they make the decision the better. If it is left up to politicians and bureaucrats, it will take weeks to make a decision.

Incorrect. The Wonderlic is not an about random facts, it is not a history test. It is about cognitive ability. The ability to figure things out, the ability TO LEARN, the ability to be COACHED. So you never answered the question, why do they combine at all, there is no running the 40 in shorts in the NFL.

I didnt know I had to state the obvious. Yes, I dont who prepares and to what extent. You think the test is irrelevant, fine that is your opinion. You want to vilify the process and call it getting "pledged", fine by me, how is that different then the entire process with the Combine, meeting with team coaches, pro days, etc etc etc.

What kind of message does it send? You put some effort into it, study, take the test exams you will improve. I see nothing wrong with that. Do you look at SAT score or GPAs or are they just "metrics" to influence people careers? What about the combine, why even have that. So you spend weeks getting to a quicker 40 or high jump or 3 cone drill. You don't run in straights lines or jump in your shorts in the NFL.

Some smart lawyers looking for easy publicity and who knows, maybe the client gets luck and the Jets/Gaints settee for some low $ to get rid of it.

To think "native intelligence" doesnt play a major part in pro QB success is naive. The number of plays/auditbles/formations and instantaneous analysis they have to make is extraordinary. Imagin Josh Allen with a room temperature IQ, i dont think he would be nearly the QB he is today, if for no other reason he can figure things out like how to be a good leader. The NFL is littered with QBs with all the physical attributes but didnt have the mental acumen like Vince Young, Jarmercus Russel, JP Losman and on and on. Is intelligence the defining factor for a QB, obviously not but it certainly makes his job a lot easier.

Players didnt prepare for the wonderlic, they formerly just took it cold. Now pretty much everyone has copies of old tests, they take test exam after test exam to improve their score.

One of the biggest issues I have had with the Wunderlic is how quickly these allegedly "secret" scores are publicized. If I were a player, I wouldnt want to be ridiculed for having a low test score. That in itself is enough for the NFLPA is enough, imo, to get the NFL to can the tests.

Burrow is from Ohio and spent two years at OSU so I would be shocked if he has no cold weather experience.

Totally agree, I think that is a horrible change in games, put the Monday night teams at a serious disadvantage at the end of a very very long season.
