Chiefs Mahomes is like super smart

BWillie · Yesterday, 12:33 PM

I read he had a 4.0 GPA his first year at Tech, then a 3.91 GPA his second year, and then a 3.64 as a Business Marketing Major. He was the academic Big 12 Scholar Athlete of the year.

Good at everything he does.

That puts to rest any question about his intelligence even though he only got a 24 on his Wonderlic.

There were ever questions about his intelligence?

Not really, but opposing fans have said he's just a backyard QB before and have cited his wonderlic has being very avg for a QB. I think this should shut them up.

Opposing fans are jealous and dumb.

I think there has been a stigma with him since day one that he wins with all talent, much like Lamar and Allen. Not necessarily to the fans here, but to the outside world I think many of them see him in that way.

Anyone who has actively followed him fully understands he's just as smart as he is physically skilled, if not more so.

I agree. His intelligence and especially his leadership are incredibly understated. I feel like his intelligence has been pumped up lately once he proved he can win without reek. I still think his leadership is where he’s most underrated. It’s the huge difference between him firing up his team when things go bad to Lamar sulking and Allen slamming his helmet.

It's more just anything to discredit him.

"Has all these weapons."
"Carried by Reid"
"Carried by Tyreek"
"Carried by the Refs/Rigged"

Not that he's smart and perfecting his craft or anything lol.

You don't revolutionize the position of QB by running around like Lamar or Josh, no matter how much the media tries to sell them because they're exciting.

You do it with brains like Brady, Montana and Mahomes all did.

He's scored a 3.1 on Super Bowls and that's the only score I give a shit about.

What a timely post.

GPA is work ethic, not intelligence. Having said that, if anyone thinks he's a dummy, then they should take a look in the mirror.

In high school yeah, but if you are stupid you simply just won't be able to succeed very well in college. Maybe you can just barely skate by but Mahomes GPA super high. I bet if he knew he wasn't going to be an NFL player it wouldn't have even dropped his JR year. He was focused on the prize.

Ryan Fitzpatrick scored the highest Wonderlic score ever for a QB… 48.

Vince Young scored the lowest… 6.

Not true. I know a number of complete dumbasses that have college degrees and had GPA scores over 3.0 every year. College is more about doing the work and showing, especially in certain degrees, than it is about overall intelligence.

You may think they are dumbasses but not necessarily true. It is true that college has been dumbed down over the previous decades. The drop out rate is also high and IQ is one good determining factor of if someone eventually drops out of college. Obviously not end all be all but an indicator.

The college drop out rate is 33%. Quite frankly too many people are going to college that shouldn't be there and aren't smart enough. They don't even care what you get on your ACT anymore at many state schools I've been told. However usually the dumb people are quickly weeded out and no dumb person is ever going to have a Mahomes grade point average.

In general a college graduate is much more intelligent than a college drop out is on average and a college drop out is on average much more intelligent than a high school drop out. Obviously there are always exceptions but overall you are incorrect.

125 Mean of persons receiving Ph.D. and M.D. degrees
115 Mean of college graduates
105 Mean of high school graduates
100 Average for total population
75 About 50-50 chance of reaching ninth grade
