Wonderlic

I got 8 out of 9, I don't care how September is close to whatever....I do know that if they had a wonderlich on football only, Vince Young would have been a Rhodes Scholar.

I hope I am not the only person thinking, who in the hell cares ? as I said before I don't care if they can spell football,we just need them to be able to play it.

Wonder what Alex (I can't remember the snap count) Barron scored on his? ..

Nineteen, actually.

It's never good when the yards you give up due to penalties as a fourth year pro is still more than four times your wonderlic score.

8 out of 9. not to bad i dont think. I rushed the whole thing and had about 40 seconds left. i think that hurt me on the one but oh well.

Is that really how the wonderlic goes?

I think it mainly comes into play in terms of how well they can digest a playbook or read an opposing offense/defense. The idea would be that some players can make logical connections that because player A is doing this, he must be blitzing or it seems like everytime player B lines up on that side, it's a strongside run. The idea is to see where you can think through a situation under severe time constraints. To me, it's about as useful as a player's numbers on the 20-yard shuffle. Just another tool to measure guys by. Some positions require better ability to read and react than others, though.
