In regard to Psycho’s view on Aaron Brooks...

Here\'s the rub with the wonderlic...

Delhomme scores fairly well and goes undrafted right?

Brooks Scores \"middle of the road\" and is drafted low right?

Anybody know where Dan Marino was drafted? His wonderlic score was 16 and he was drafted 27th overall...the 5th QB taken in 1983. Now we can look at all the records he owns and we can say Mr. Marino is an exception. On the other hand we might look at Marino\'s situation (much like many many others) and determine a couple things:

a. Scouting / Drafting is FAR from an exact science
b. A person\'s wonderlic score is probably not something someone would want to submit as evidence in a trial

If you\'re trying to debate a football player\'s ability to play football based on the wonderlic it is my opinion that you\'re gonna lose that argument based on the overall performance of those in the NFL who scored poorly and performed average or better. There are too many Hall of Fame and future Hall of Fame players that didn\'t do well on it.

C'mon Man...
