MJS Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 I took a sample wonderlic today and got a 36, so he is smarter than me! Hard to get through all 50 in 12 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't a matter of not being smart, it's that those were the situations where his skills weren't up to the circumstances. It wasnt so much as it was a dumb throw it was more that he couldnt physically accomplish what his mind was processing. The ball was often late to the sidelines late in games due to lack of arm strength. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayne Cubed Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 JP Losman - 31 I wouldn't want a QB getting below a 20 but saying that where Allen scored relative to good/great Qbs doesn't really correlate to him being successful or being able to read NFL defenses, imo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo_Stampede Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 (edited) High Wonderlic means he can retain information.

Sometimes that's the result; you can just as easily pick other highlights where it works. In the pros, he'll get eaten alive trying that. That's not a "he sucks/doesn't suck" issue. That's a "Will he be given enough time to develop/be coached out of that?" issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 13 hours ago, bills6969 said: Doesnt mean a lot, but I like having a smart dude at QB. Seems to be a sharp kid which should bode well for a QB. Some point to Fitzpatrick to argue that the Wonderlic does not mean much. Quite the opposite. I think that Fitzpatrick has proved that being smart is important. Without being smart, I doubt that Fitzpatrick would have been able to get to the NFL much less have the decade plus career that he has had. Of course, other tools and abilities also are important as well, but I have to believe that being smart would elevate the game of any QB (even those who have had good careers with relatively lower Wonderlic scores).
