Many of you would of heard of this rule to predict whether college quarterbacks are going to be a success or not.
26 on wonderlic 27 starts 60% completion
Just something interested to note.
Mariota won't be able to achieve this stat due to starts..
This may seem a stupid rule but the amount of busts it has predicted is scary.
Bridgewater however providing he gets 26 on the wonderlic will achieve this.
can you at least provide the qbs who attained this stat the last 5-10 drafts?

Gabbert did I think.
Blaine Gabbert started 26 college games, had a 61% completion percentage and scored a 42 on his Wonderlic.
I think they need to add in something for career YPA on that.
Gabbert would have failed it.
Gabbert didn't as you can see, it doesn't always predict someone will be a success..but it predicts a lot of the time people who won't be
They should have a career YAC. Both Mariota and Gabbert would fail it.
someone should provide the current stat for the 2013 qb prospects atm.

again,...had they also had something on that rule to include YPA, Gabbert would have failed it.
Yes, I understand YPA can sometimes be deceiving pending on the kind of offense a team runs. But with Gabbert, you could clearly see in college that he was not effective at completing deeper passes efficiently.

Indeed and he failed it anyways because he played less then 27 games..it's a good rule to work on IMO
It's more of a go / no-go test in that if someone does not live up to the criteria they have a very remote chance of succeeding however, achieving the criteria is no guarantee of future success.

This.

I agree. Maybe not career but year by year would be a good stat to measure.
On Gabbert, the scariest thing was his TD's at Missouri, or lack there of.
He was in a pass happy Big 12., no defenses existed, and Missouri threw the ball around like it was nothing.

This is what I was trying to say..you however put it a lot better!

Really?!?!?! I appreciate that!
Man, I get about one well written statement a year and I waste it on this stinking message board?!?! I need to re-evaluate my life.
I think most people hate the Wonderlic test. Dan Marino dropped to #27 because of his Wonderlic score, but played much better for much longer than Todd Blackledge.

Uh, no....once again you show your ignorance.
Dan Marino dropped to 27 for "other reasons" and we'll just leave it at that.

Dan Marino dropped because he was perceived as a party animal.
