Coolie feels left out - opens his own QB thread - Wonderlic

[Steelworth]

Ben score was 18 I believe, and he’s a future HOF’er. The Wonderlic doesn’t measure intelligence, it is used to determine how well an individual retains information, or how to use critical thinking in a fluid situation. Basically how a person adapts or understands information in decisions based on time/place and circumstance. Some teams use it, others just to validate commitment to his future.

Ben scored a 25. I know distinctly because we used to have arguments over it and I'd retort that it was only 3 points below the second coming of Jesus that was Peyton Manning.

I don't think Coolie even wants a QB, he was just saying that out of all these turds, he thinks Willis is the shiniest.

Willis is 6'0". Howell is 6'1'. There are "star" QBs as short or shorter in the NFL.

Russell Wilson has certainly put together a nice career. Kyler Murray has a losing record as a starter in the NFL and a quarterback rating near the league average.

The only other good quarterback in the modern era at 6 feet tall or less was Brees. So you have two guys in two generations who were as short as Willis and amounted to anything worthwhile. Not good odds there.

I was referring more toward accuracy. It doesnt matter how smart you are or if you know exactly where to throw the ball, if the ball doesnt get there then you arent going to succeed in the NFL.

Accuracy isn't a physical limitation.

Actually, that's a really good point.
