The wonderlic makes me laugh. Always brought up with QB that fail, the players with great scores that are useless it's never mentioned

I am just not a fan.

I think we'd be better off snagging a player we can play now. We are in the mist of a SB win nor or else. The future be damned.

So I would trade up get a pass rusher or LB who can come in and play. Perhaps even another WR or even an OL.

Analytical and quick processing are not as important for many positions as others. QB, center and defensive play caller (green dot). are positions where it is critical. Some will argue that TE falls into that category, as well, given they actually play so many multiple positions depending upon the play call ... TE, RB, FB, o-line, slot, wideout, etc.

Yes sir.

Outside of Burrow, I'm not all that impressed with the media darlings ... Love, Easton, Hebert, Fromm etc.

If Jalen slides to the third ... excellent value.

WPT-R measures cognitive capacity, not physicality, athleticism, or motivation. It is a piece of a puzzle not a litmus paper. It does not score cognitive proficiency.

The puzzle isn't just the position, a higher wonderlic should correlate to more of an ability to sort **** out on the field if the coach is a dipsh1t.

Its not a Go-Nogo test, but it isn't worthless either. It is a tool, one that most people dismiss because they do not understand it.

The scores should have remained confidential, yet every year they conveniently leak a week or so before draft day.

BTW, an updated wonderlic score for Tua was 19 and Jalen Hurts 21.

Can't understand how these kids continue to sign with the same idiot agents because of politics and these same agents let these prospects take the Wonderlic without preparation...

Nawhhh... keep them open to the public. It is after all our dollars funding their soon to be lavish lifestyles. If the kids can't deal with this smallish issue, they're not good enough material. Besides, we need something to banter about during the off-season.
