Toledo Bill Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 I believe he got a 49/50 on the Wonderlic and finished it in 9 minutes... which is almost unheard of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wooderson Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 (edited) Well at training camp he did tell me that I have a cannon for an arm, so he is pretty smart. A 1580 on SATs is crazyy! Edited September 24, 2010 by Wooderson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MClem06 Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 They mention there that he broke 300 yards passing on his first start so here's hoping that can come true for us. We haven't seen a 300 yard game through the air in I don't know how long but..too long. I have to admit, I wanted to see what Brohm has the capability of but evidently that isn't going to happen. We already know what fitzy has to offer so why are we giving it back to him since this season is looking like a 2-3 win season anyways even with fitz in? I just hope that gailey gives Brohm an in game opportunity to play eventually. IMO he's got the potential to surpass Fitzy. As for Trent, Gailey should have known you can't put a shine on a turd and he'll be working a blue collar job in a year from now with stories of being an NFL starter. I think next year's draft is going to be probably the most important draft in Bills history. I hope the scouting team does their job. Locker looks very much overhyped. The way he has come off this year, i wouldn't draft him until the 3rd round but he may turn it around who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grimace Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 Playing any sport to a level that gains national recognition requires a lot of time, effort, discipline, and ability. Having said that, I'm surprised at how quick this list dropped off. The list goes pretty quickly from Rhodes scholars and ability test geniuses to Peyton Manning's 1030 SATs with a major in communications, or Grant Hill who is simply described as graduating from Duke with a major in history. Did they not dig that hard to put the list together? Is it biased toward known names to try to get reader interest? Are there really only four athletes worth naming who scored above a 1400 (very doubtful)? This list makes me feel smart. Bad at sports, but smart.

Seems the main criteria for the top 10 is a diploma from an Ivy League school. And how about Rolle at #2? "Exercise Science" is not a premed major.

dave mcbride Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 http://www.sportingnews.com/mlb/feed/2010-09/smart-athletes good find. Interesting what Fitz and Manning say about Marshall Faulk and Corey Chavous. Everyone has always said that Faulk and Chavous were leagues ahead of everyone else in football smarts.

jimmy10 Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 I thought there was some pitcher in the majors who went to MIT and is, literally, a rocket scientist. Maybe he's only in the minors... Can't remember his name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dean Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 Fitz was robbed! I think they must have bumped him down a rank or two for these two reasons: 1. He signed with the Bills. 2. “I’m an Apple technology junkie.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'll be the first to admit that SAT scores don't really mean anything outside of basic aptitude. Not exactly a harbinger for success in college, if you ask me.

silvermike Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 1000 was average when Manning took the SATs, right? So he's still a 'smart' guy, just not that far above average - or really, it's only the median of people who take the SATs, which is probably a smarter group that the set that don't take the test (ACTers, who are equal, plus dropouts, etc.).

stevestojan Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 Am I the only one who wants a team full of big dumb oxen lead by a super intelligent QB? Well, we have the smart QB. Now we just need a TALENTED smart QB. So, we're .5/53 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
