I think you get five points if you spell your name right on the test form....
|
Wow.
|
Ouch
|
Shit, even blackmon could score higher!
|
Surprisingly low. I wonder if he pulled a Claiborne and just started filling in bubbles.

What kind of score does the average American make? college graduate?
|
Well we know why Patterson went JUCO. Why do players even take this test?

Anyone know what Michael Irvin scored?...
|
It's kind of shameful that they tell what these guys scored.
|
Just run fast!

A team should have legitimate concerns about someone's ability to learn an NFL playbook if they score a seven on the Wonderlic. He's functionally illiterate.

Evidently seven is bad?

QB will just have to look at him in the huddle and say "Go Long" or "Post" or "Flag" or "Square Out." That's all he's going to be able to understand. |

He is a WR. Like many scouts are saying, Tavon will be fine. I am pretty sure they won't make him do long division on the line of scrimmage.
|
As long as nothing in the playbook says "One train leaves Boston doing 40 mph, and a second train leaves Cleveland doing 35 mph, and the two cities are 700 miles apart....."

Tavon Austin is supposed one of these utility players. He needs to know the RB and WR positions and will also be expected to know lots of shifts and check plays. He plays a position that will need to be able to read a defense and adjust his play at the LOS along with the QB. now maybe Austin just knows football and nothing else but it's still a concern. |

The manager who administered the test was all flustered about it because she had a dream the night before that one of the interviewees would notch a perfect score. I guess I came close enough to count as a direct hit. |

Meh. If anyone can show me a correlation between the wonderlic and how much a player produces once they're in the NFL, I'm all ears.
|
Tavon's tutor usually takes his tests for him, so this really isn't a fair benchmark....

At least I think so. |
Well atleast he can run.
|
Yay

I have never seen the wonderlic test, so I don't even know what kind of questions are on it. But Dan Marino scored a 14 on it.

If a guy scores really low, does it reflect on his performance, or does it reflect the whole team's performance because the game plan has to be adjusted since that player's adjustments and recognition can't be trusted? Or for that matter, does a low Wonderlic only matter if there are three of them on the field or some such thing? Maybe a team isn't affected with one less astute guy, but two is deadly. It's interesting to think about how it plays out. |

More proof that Robert Woods is the best WR in this draft. Love to get that guy.

How goddamn stupid do you have to be scoring that low on a test coming straight out of college?

lol Blaine Gabbert got a 42?!?! certainly doesnt show up on the field
|
So basically I should score a 32+.

I wonder if this is a direct connection to why these players blow all their money on strippers and jewelery and end up broke two years after they retire?
|
I'm not a fan of the fact that these are released publicly either. I think discussing one's intelligence is often disrespectful.

speed is ok but intelligence isn't? |
Quote:
The Wonderlic isn't a proper gauge as to whether or not a guy will be able to learn an NFL playbook anyway. Off the top of my head, Donovan McNabb and Dan Marino both scored in the low teens and Ryan Fitzpatrick scored in the 40s. Not to mention the large number of skil position players that routinely score less than 15 yet go on to learn playbooks with no issues. |

There are multiple measures of intelligence and standardized tests are not a good indicator of such. For instance they don't take into account testing phobias, different ways of interpreting information, etc.

I'M THE SMARTEST GUY IN THE WORLD
YOU JUST DON'T MEASURE IT RIGHT |
Maybe being dumb is the KEY to why he is awesome. His mind isn't cluttered with thoughts and stuff. He just thinks, "CATCH BALL!" and "RUN FAST...THAT WAY!" The rest of his brain is devoted to manipulating his nervous system to stimulate muscle fibers to carry out that mission in a perfectly orchestrated symphony that nobody can stop. I can live with that.

Some people just don't test we'll. I know my son is one of them. He would get A's on home work he turned in but a D on the test on the same stuff. But he listens to me when it comes to money. He pays his bills, saves and has zero debt. |

You have to border on being a complete moron if you can't get more than 10 right. |
Currently, we only have one receiver capable of scoring seven, so maybe we ought to draft this guy?
