wonderlic scores leaked for 2010 class-Tebow below Avg

But they might be able to outscore them in a pretty arbitrary intelligence/general aptitude test with little correlation to NFL success. (See: Dan Marino)

Pretty sure Marino scored a 15? No I'm not saying Tebow is/will be Marino, I'm just saying maybe it doesn't matter? Would be great to have sort of correlation graph between these scores and success in the NFL.

if bradford checks out good he is going to end up with the rams

To pull that off would take a ridiculous 3D multi-axis dot graph. It would be a fun project, though.

Well they did show that the current trend is that the average score for a QB playing for a superbowl winning team the last few years has been a 30+.

I think stats like this are totally unimportant when singled out though. A great throwing mechanic and vision can well make up for "smarts" Just like smarts and a good throwing mechanic can help make up for vision, etc.

When you fail at multiple aspects is when you can see a potential bust in the making.

Tebow never really struck me as an intelligent person. Now i dont think he's dumb by any means, just around average.

Henne had the same score as Tebow...who knew?

For everyone who thinks this is a big deal remember that Henne got a 22 as well.

Not that Henne is perfect, but he also has a lot more physical tools to compensate with IMO.

I think the wonderlic is more of a guaging tool for teams to see how well the testee....( :shifty: )thinks and reacts (i.e. making good decisions as opposed to bad ones)under pressure. I dont think it is at all indicitive of there learning ability, capacity or the ability to play for that matter. Sometimes physical ability is all you need in this league. Good example of that would be Leon Lett. But then you see why sometimes you'd like the guy to make better decisions on the fly(i.e.Thanksgiving 1993).

Tebow has tools to but I was only referring to Wonderlic scores.

Dan Marino got a 15 and was rumored to be a drug user.....luckily for us he fell to the bottom of the first round. We may have had Todd Blackledge or Tony Eason at QB.

Actually, Henne and Tebow are comparable in the physical tools department, if anything Tebow is more athletic than Henne.

As for the Wonderlic, it doesn't have the capacity to show the ability to learn, it only measures thinking ability at the time of the test, not learning capacity.

Tebow doesn't have a very strong arm or a very accurate one. If you just want to say mobility is a tool...sure. But that isn't what I'm talking about.

His arm strength is fine, at the least above average, his problems stem from a lack of polish and a lack of recognition of defenses.

Alex Smith (San Fran) got a perfect score, right? I know it was very high. Point is, he sucks.

The wonderlic score is irrelevant in every way.

Too bad for tebow the wonderlic isn't based on the bible.

Dude..... :pity:

Explain this to me please

How does Tebow do poorly on this test when he is in the Doctorate program at Flordia. Now don't go saying it's a joke of a program because at all schools for this program they haave similiar courses of studies. I'm jst saying..... I'm curious unless the test was based off of certain questions pertaining to the NFL

The Wonderlic Test has notorious weird questions, some verging on very disturbing. I think the point is to make a person uncomfortable in a pressure situation.

Clausen scored like a 23 and went to Notre Dame what does that tell you about them? Absolutely nothing

Ok relax dirthead I am kidding

Lol, Tebow hasn't been known to exactly excel in standardized tests. He got something like an 860 on the SAT.

He should just stick to doing what he does best, circumcising little Filipino boys.

I dunno the jump pass could prove to be valuable in the NFL :wink2:
