    I realize the Wonderlic isn’t the end all be all, but it does apparently inducate how fast a person can process information and diagnose complex patterns. Kenny did very poorly on it and his game tape shows that he has issues reading and recognizing certain defensive schemes and processing information on the field quickly. So in his case, so far I’d say the Wonderlic is spot on.

    Talking about Strummer assuming Pickett practiced it at all let alone 30 times.

    Ben scored pretty low too and could read defenses really well. There are plenty of guys that scored low on the Wonderlic that are good QB's. There's more to being able to read a defense than just a test. Someone's ability to think the game has nothing to do with whether or not they are smart....

    True.
    How could anyone think bigk would put that amount of effort in, unless you think it was even higher.

    He tried to stretch his hands out prior to the combine. Do you honestly believe he wouldn’t practice the wonderlic following his agent’s instructions?

    Because the hand size thing became absurd and he knew it could drop him down teams boards.

    Wonderlic score is not that big a deal.

    None of that changes you are still assuming a lot but I know it’s your thing to troll people over KP.

    Great. He can show them to His mother with no SBs...., and anyone that watches football knows He didn't deserve the last MVP.

    I bet Tomlin score would be pretty high.....now in His older years. People can say what they want about him, but slow of mind is not ine if them.
    The wonderlic....is not a IQ test. It's questions are pretty simple, and basic....the biggest deal is you only have a certain amount of time for each question. A lot fail not because they couldn't eventually figure it out, but because they couldn't figure it out in a certain time limit.

    Just waiting for this competition to start. If he wins the starting QB, I wish him the best but if he shows no improvement after 4 games yank him out. Don’t want the same situation as last year over again. Please don’t make the same mistake twice.

    I've answered this 509 times. It Surly shouldn't have gone to the Qb that DIDN'T have the most overall TD, and DIDN'T have the most overall yards. That won multiple games that He DIDN'T score a td in , but He DID have turnovers in. If Your team wins multiple game Your Qb doesn't score a TD in, but He has turnovers in.....answer Me how He is the MVP of that team....let alone the whole dang NFL????
    If You think Lamar Jackson deserves the MVP this Year....than M. Garrett winning the DPOY shouldn't bother You.

    He’s going to get the whole year because there is very little chance IMO that he will look like he did last season and that is the only way they would pull the plug after only 4 games.

    Smith may as well be the greatest offensive mind to every coach football in comparison to Matt Canada.

    The last thing I would want to see is

    That stupid face with that stupid haircut looking at a surface trying to learn something in week 7 or 18 hoping the defense can get the ball back for his stupid face and stupid haircut to go out there for another 3nout
    I really can't recall bigk standing on the sidelines up front watching anything last year as he "healed" trying to learn

    "Not a good luck when your teammate is cooking!" one fan wrote.

    "That's his fault. Maybe if he played better before he got hurt," another said.

    "He’s thinking. Damn Mason made that look easy," another added.

    "He knows it’s over for now. It has to be hard," another wrote

    If he plays like he did last season, no. But he won’t. Coaching actually does matter and the Steelers agree.

    Ben scored a 25. Kenny scored a 17. Ben was a big, tough, physical freak. Kenny is not.

    Typically, those who score low and still have success have well above average physical attributes to compensate for their intellectual limitations. That’s not Kenny.

    The Steelers hired and kept Matt Canada. I wouldn’t exactly trust their judgment.
