BringBackFergy Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 http://nflwonderlictestscores.com/how-smart-is-your-teams-qb/ Was just discussing this in the Shoutbox. Tyrod is a great kid, hard worker, devoted. But does he have the brain (and height) to play QB in the NFL? Tyrod scored a 15 Is it worth it to keep him on the team knowing his limitations? I honestly believe he has a tough time analyzing defenses, using audibles, and processing things quickly. Just a spot to discuss if he has the intellect needed.

The Frankish Reich Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Told you earlier he is heading to OZ for a brain the same day Gilmore goes to get his heart.Throw in some courage for Gilmore at the same time. Wait, can the great and powerful Oz hand out two things to one customer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAJBobby Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Back in the day I think Qbs could have gotten away with low Scores. However I don't think that is able to happen anymore. it is a Thinking mans game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoBills808 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 You don't need to be a genius to play QB, but if you're undersized it probably helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fadingpain Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 (edited) Having played around with the Wonderlic test last year, I can tell you that if Tyrod tried his best on the test and scored a 15, he is flat out dumber than dirt. Like the most dumb person you know kind of dumb. I believe Jim Kelly got a 15 as well, and so did Dan Marino--who is a bonafide meathead, but those guys were great QBs. Of course, they played in an era where Ds were not nearly as complex and being a good QB required less brain power. The funny thing is this: remember when Tyrod was first easing into things around OBD? Everyone, I mean EVERYONE was saying how you talk to him, get to know him, and how INTELLIGENT he is. His intelligence early on was really emphasized. I guess that was all just bull ****, as a 15 on the Wonderlic is not synonymous with intelligence of any kind.

26CornerBlitz Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 I believe it's been "confirmed" that his issue is with blood sugar as opposed to his intellect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gugny Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 No. He does not have the intellect. There is not one successful QB in today's league with rocks between his ears. It's easily predictable and it underscores how irresponsible it was to bring him here, for which Rex - not Whaley - is to blame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I got my hands on a Wonderlic type and scored a 48 without paper or pen. 15 is bizarre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes sense when you have a coach that runs a era past type of football to want an era past type of QB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DriveFor1Outta5 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 (edited) Stop it with the wonderlic stuff. Heath Schuler scored a 16 and he became a senator. Correct that he was congressmen. ps people really struggle with picking up sarcasm around here.

Tyrod probably could go into politics with his wonderlic score, but I don't think he can play QB. Regardless of his Wonderlic score.

Perry Turtle Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 http://nflwonderlictestscores.com/how-smart-is-your-teams-qb/ Was just discussing this in the Shoutbox.

I honestly believe he has a tough time analyzing defenses, using audibles, and processing things quickly. Just a spot to discuss if he has the intellect needed. I'm not sure about his football smarts, but height shouldn't be an issue. He's listed at 6'1. Russell Wilson is 5'11. Drew Brees is 6'. Aaron Rodgers, Kurt Cousins, and Dak Prescott are 6'2. One of the problems the Bills have had drafting a QB over the last 20 years is that they value physical stature over skill and smarts. Teams that value accuracy, quick release, and football smarts do much better drafting QBs than the Bills, who value size and arm strength over all other attributes. That's why the team ends up with 6'5 guys who can't hit the side of a barn or find their third option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
