re: Brains and Brawn - Myles Scores 31 on the Wonderlic

Myles is an impressive dude. He gets more hate than he deserves on here, but A&M fans help bring that on him.

quote:

For his sake, pray the Browns trade down. Even Lawrence Taylor's career may have taken a swirlie if he had gone to this organization.

---

As a life long Browns fan, I anxiously await every NFL draft to see who's career we are ending.

I'm going to smile when Myles ends up playing for a team one of the chuckleheads in this thread supports ... then suddenly he's all that.

---

I'd honestly prefer Barnett to the saints.

quote:

---

I promise you if the Saints drafted him, they would all buy Garrett jerseys after that first sack.

---

Just like they all bought Mark Ingram jerseys?

quote:

---

Garrett has 5 conference forced fumbles while Barnett has only 2 in conference while playing in the East

---

Wow, forced fumbles!?!? THE most important stat to a defensive end

I don't give a shite about FF. Here are relevant stats for each player:

DB: 189 TK 50.0 TFL 31 SK

MG: 144 TK 48.0 TFL 32.5 SK

How here is SEC competition:

DB: 129 TK 41 TFL 28 SK

MG: 86 TKL 23.5 TFL 12 SK

So in conclusion, your boy is a pussy. And im glad you brought the west vs east argument up because 1) its irrelevant 2) Barnett has 6 Sacks vs SEC west teams and MG has 7 sacks against SEC west teams so its not the biggest difference in the world


Career sacks by team:


DB

Florida x3
Ole Miss x3
South Carolina x6
Kentucky x5
Vandy x3
Oklahoma

He showed up vs Tennessee

3 tackles, 1 TFL, 1 sack, 1 forced fumble recovered by A&M. All while injured

You are stoked he showed up in 1 game vs tenner of all teams

I took a practice test. I am not informing the news media what I got, but it wasn't exactly a perfect score. I got all the ones I answered correct -- it's not like they were hard -- but I didn't make it all the way through the test before time expired.

I'm dubious about the test, even over and above the fact that I'm dubious about most standardized tests (one of my earliest jobs out of college was creating some major ones like the MCAT and the GRE.) Most of the questions were really basic for anyone who has a good grasp of the the language and/or basic logic skills. But some of the math questions, especially the fill-in-the-blanks where you couldn't deduce the right answer immediately from the choices, required actual scribbling and grind work, which took more time than they should have. Unless the test-takers are allowed calculators? You'd still have to know or figure out the right formula, but you'd be able to do it much quicker. Sixty minute test, I can see. The twelve minute one I took really would have been easier with a calculator rather than taking 90 seconds to prove that I knew how to calculate percentages.

And Manziel scored the highest when he was drafted..... I see a similar outcome in Myles future.....

This dude showed us a gift of Myles getting a knockdown......meanwhile the pass went for 23 yards and a TD
