Lamar Jackson as QB. He has RG3 written on him.

They don’t seem to matter at all. It’s such a pointless test.

If true...It reinforces my picks as the Josh’s being the two best QB’s in this draft.
I would take Rosen #1.

There’s no correlation between on field performance and wonderlic scores

Allen performed 285% better than Lamar. Lamar won a Heisman which has to be worth something, but good gracious man. 13 has got to hurt him.

The wonderlic is less about intelligence and more about your ability to react to something quickly and make the right decision. The questions are very easy for the most part.

With that said, I don't know that it's especially useful for predicting nfl success. However, all else being equal I'd prefer a quarter back with a higher score than a lower score.

eta: I don't know if they actually do this, but watching someone take the test is probably more informative than their score. Just to see how they handle themselves when they need to think about something quickly or something catches them off-guard

They will soon be either banned or kept under strict lock and key, that I can guarantee.

You are aware that is a symptom of being intelligent, correct? We aren't talking about catching something being pegged at you, we're talking quickly calculating when you get to the line of scrimmage and breaking down complex defensive schemes, and adapting to small changes you see after the ball is snapped. .

In other words, intelligence is the capacity to problem solve by finding patterns and connecting ideas faster and better than others
