Makes Gamble's 9 look all the more unimpressive.

Dan Marino got a 14.

Doesn't mean that much, in fact, I probably would not score that highly on a timed test. The questions are easy, sure. But you have to answer quickly.

I remember a similar test was given to us in high school to determine IQ. My overall grade was good, but a red flag was raised when I had both high and low scores in different areas. There were several parts, one was a reading comprehension part where my score was extremely high. The "answer obvious questions quickly" part I didn't even finish. I would have been better served just putting C down each time. so the guidance counselers wanted to test me for possible autism or some shit, and I politely told them to go fuck themselves.

I know most QBs you want to do well in this, corners as well, because it involves making decisions quickly. But it's not the same thing as an IQ test.

I just did a Wonderlic test for a job interview the other day, and scored a 28 with no preparation at all. The interviewer told me to skip questions that might take too long and scan through first for ones I could answer quickly. It really is a lot about making quick decisions and using logic. My strength is math, so I went through and quickly did the quick math questions. The interviewer seemed very impressed with a 28, but it all seemed pretty natural to me.

I may be undervaluing myself, but I would expect more from college students that know they're going to be taking the wonderlic before the NFL draft and have a chance to prepare.

Online, I took one and did well.

But that was online, and I didn't time myself. The questions are not difficult. I'm just not one that does anything fast.

Clady scored a 13

I dunno. Clady....

I just keep thinking Chris Williams might be an anchor for fuckin years, man.....

 

[magnus]

Clady's measurables were always better, but I always felt like Williams was a bit more of a safe bet, being naturally smarter and more experienced. That was before this - where's this goober getting his scores?

 

[Purrsy]

Yeah....and Williams' team speaks glowingly of the kid, his teammates harp on his leadership....only 2 sacks and a pressure in a million or so snaps...he lacks that mean streak, and Clady will probably be better in the run game, but goddammit, man, Williams could be hitting Hawaii annually I feel.

Ah hell, I dont know....I dont know enough about Clady for one thing, and at the end of the day, I just really, really like Williams....
