Brooks proves 'em wrong at each turn. With a little help fro

GumboBC · 07-12-2004, 04:10 PM

Over the past couple of seasons, several folks (you know who ya are ;) ) have come up with several arguements in an attempt to prove Aaron Brooks is not worthy of being the QB of the Saints.

When I first joined in the discussion, it was completion %. Brooks took care of that arguement!!
Completion %
1st year as starter: 55.9%
Last year as starter: 59.1%

So, then they complain about interceptions:
Aaron Brooks proves them wrong about that:
Interceptions:
1st year as starter: 22
Last year as starter: 8

Now, they are so desperate they want to say he's dumb and they say the "wonderlic" proves it. I say any rational person would know that one test doesn't prove anything. Obviously these folks don't know too much about the wonderlic or what the test is designed to prove. So, let me let Mr. Charlie Wondelic tell you for himself. But, I think SOME or you already knew this. Never-the-less, let me shoot this one down, so I won't ever have to hear the word "wonderlic" again.. :P

Wonderlic Score:
Aaron Brooks: 17
Dan Marino: 16

The difference between the Wonderlic and a more comprehensive IQ exam is that subjects get only 12 minutes to complete 50 questions. The test is designed to give employers a glimpse into the problem-solving ability of the job candidate and doesn't provide in-depth analysis about one's intelligence.

Unlike other knowledge tests, it is not designed to gauge intelligence. Instead, it assesses a person's ability to reason in a short period of time, which makes it the ideal test for prospective NFL players.

Deciphering defenses at the line of scrimmage. Reading an offensive formation for clues on the upcoming play. Those are tasks a player must perform before he ever lunges for a tackle or throws a pass.
