Peyton With A 28

Peyton's work ethic is what separates him from others. While he is of course very intelligent, he out works everyone else and is a great leader.

Dan Marino 15

Randall Cunningham 15

I took a sample one and got a 37.5 and should have done better if I took my time.

Suprising how low the scores are.

Tee Martin was brilliant with that 11. This test doesn't mean much at all in terms of how good they will be in the NFL. Some just have what it takes and others do not.

Most of the best QBs in the game right now look to be around 30 +/- 3.

I believe so. He's a smart guy

someone in the past few years got a perfect score I believe (Harvard guy?)

the reason some of those scores are lower than expected is because, barring a vince young type performance (and even then, the titans got him at #3... SMH), those guys know it won't change their draft stock, so why even really try?

Cowherd was talking about this very subject this morning. He seems to think (TIFWIW) that the reason those QBs were successful is because they played in a different, much less complex NFL. I can kind of see what he is saying in that Marino et al didn't have the pre-snap reads, motions, etc. that Manning and Brady have to deal with now. Thus, it didn't take a rocket scientist to play QB 20 years ago it just took a great athlete.

QB is absolutely a thinking man's position now. There was a clip on NFLN where Mariucci was talking to Dalton and put forward a red zone play with 25 different variables for 5 different packages and the 5 receivers in the play. Dalton was required to recite the play, pre-snap, and then Mariucci told him what defenders were where on the field and what look they were showing as well as defensive tendencies they'd show based on the QB's pre-game tape studies. Dalton regurgitated the pre-assigned adjustments for the receivers. Mariucci then had him do the same for his snap and 3rd step drop.


The problem? Some of the adjustments were purposely flawed by Mariucci to dictate if Dalton had enough intelligence (football and otherwise) to diagnose and adapt mid-play. Dalton is a sharp kid. Having a QB that can get a receiver open is important... the ultimate decider is if that QB can evade and not fold under pressure and still get the ball to the receiver. I'd rather take a smart QB with an average arm than a idiotic (stupid, lazy, etc) QB with an excellent arm.



Plus, now, people are preparing for the wonderlic. It's like the SAT for College or ASVAB for the military. I don't know if it mattered as much back in "the old days" outside of just being a general measurement.

By the results those test scores address everyday life situations not necessarily the game of football.

I thought I saw an interview with terry bradshaw where he stated that he was either dislexic or adhd, can't remember now where I saw that.... May be part of the reason his score was lower

Right. Those guys are really splitting atoms. They just didn't try. :eek:k:

IMO that test is just another way for someone to make money acting like they are an expert at something. With all of the manic coaches and owners looking to get an edge, it's no wonder they fall for that stuff. That Fitzpatrick and Smith are really tearing the league up aren't they?

Has there ever been a QB understand the game, know what every player is doing on both offense and defense on any given play, call all his own plays, audible with all sorts of diversions, etc., etc. than Peyton Manning? No. No test needed. Teaching and observations told all of his coaches that he was ahead of the pack.

After scanning the results of QBs, I would have to say this test is a waste of time and worthless. It shows nothing about what would make a great QB.
