In regard to PsychoÃ¢Â€Â™s view on Aaron Brooks...

Some of the \"idiots\" have had great football careers and are in the hall of fame. And some of the \"brilliant\" players failed miserably. Which proves the wonderlic isn\'t worth the paper it\'s written on when it comes to football.

Brooks scored a 17 on the wonderlic, but what does it prove when it comes to football? Does it prove he can\'t read defenses? Does it prove he can\'t make quick decisions? Does it prove he\'s not a leader?

Well, Dan Marino scored lower than Brooks, so the wonderlic can\'t tell us any of that. So, what\'s the use of the wonderlic?

If I follow your logic that the wonderlic is a TRUE measure of intelligence then I have to come to one of the following conclusions:

A. Intelligence isn\'t important when it comes to playing QB because Dan Marino is one of the greats of all time.

New day, Billy argues something new.

Bill - I agree 100% with those statements. In fact, I made them before you did. Go look at the top of the thread. I specifically said that AB having a baboon\'s intellect does NOT preclude him from being a successful NFL QB. I used Marino to prove that point. I never suggested at any point in this debate that AB A) was a bad QB, B) not capable of being the starter, or C) not capable of making the Pro Bowl. In fact, I said he could do ALL of those things well. I wasn\'t arguing about AB\'s game, I was discussing his level of intelligence - which, we have since decided is pretty low.

From my first post that started all of this:

Anyway, according to the Wonderlic Brooks is below the AVERAGE level of intelligence for ALL NFL players. You think it takes more intelligence to be a QB or a DT? Guys, the fact that he isn\'t bright won\'t stop him from being a good QB...

Wow, all of this could have been avoided. Read first, reply second. :P
