I recently came across a list of Wonderlic scores, is it general knowledge that Henne scored a 22? The average for a starting QB is 28.1 according to the article. Could this be part of the reason that he has had some trouble anticipating the wide receivers breaks? Or is this more of an argument for the idea that he could become better in time? Or just useless information? Here's the link: http://abclocal.go.com/wpvi/story?section=news/special_reports&id=7447191
This is a short list of "WHY?" 30. Donovan McNabb 14 ---- Probably the reason why he did not know there were ties in football. 29. Vince Young 15 ------ Probably the reason why he almost killed himself and blew up last month 25. Tim Tebow 22 ----- Probably the reason I will eat my words in the Mock 2011 Thread 25. Chad Henne 22 ---- Probably why he can't check down 15. Peyton Manning 28 ----Probably why he works so hard. 8. Tom Brady 33 -Probably why he can close games/ Seasons with Wins. 9. Matt Ryan 32 - Probably why he is named Matty Ice. He's smart enough to dissect situations. 1. Ryan Fitzpatrick 48 - Probably why he has a Job, and Probably why he's able to win games in Buffalo, He evens out the dumb coaching and players.
Dan Marino - 15. Probably why he couldn't...win a super bowl? Jeff George - 10. Im surprised he could even get out of bed. Hes gotta be half a ****** with a score like that.
The wonderlic has no impact on anything IMO. There were bad players who scored high and really good players who scored low. It doesn't mean much.
Come on now Rocky everyone knows that QB development means nothing and the Wonderlic is the most important evaluation tool
Trouble anticipating WR breaks because he scored a 22 on his Wonderlic test? I have a hard time believing that anyone would even ask that question.
I say that because the test is supposed to measure not only intelligence but also how quickly you can make the correct decision. I don't think there's any doubt that he seems to second guess himself a lot after plays maybe this is happening during plays also?
Dan Marino couldn't win a Super Bowl because the teams he played for never had a defense. Also, the test is 50 questions and limited to 12 minutes. A person is considered illiterate if they score a 10. It's been rumored that some QB's just "Christmas Tree" the test. Also, there was a study done (I can't remember the guys name who did it) that showed Wonderlic scores have no correlation with a QB's success or failure. Matt leinhart scored a 35. Charlie Frye scored a 38. Josh McCown scored a 30. Sage Rosenfels scored a 32. Brian Griese scored a 39. And all of those guys were/are great QB's. I mean, look at their Wonderlic scores! (BTW, Trent Dilfer and Brett Favre both scored a 22. I think they both have Super Bowl rings...)
When you are brainwashed to play small ball Pennington style I think you will have that. I've said it for a while that this scheme doesn't fit Henne's style. Henning let's his QB loose this year trying to find a new identity. Unfortunately it is we will throw it 30-35 times a game but you have to wear these handcuffs. Also Dan Henning can't seem to get a WR open with his calls. You would think you could make the right calls to get receivers open in the holes in the opponents zone. The WR's haven't helped at all either. Marshall is in his own head these days and is under performing. Bess is about all we got there. You can blame the Wonderlic or say it is a good judgement but you have to weigh the variables. Is Henne coming along slowly? That seems to be the case but considering the chronic case of hiccups this offense has suffered from as a whole I can't say it is all his fault. Plus you have to see Chad Henne with a different OC before any true judgement can be made. Dan Henning's play calling has been consistently inconsistent this season and constantly leaves me saying WTF was that!
bulls#!t. Everybody knows he'll get at least a 17......... after he's stolen the answers ahead of time.
