    Interesting read on the Wonderlic and QBs

    Perhaps we should not be stunned by JaMarcus Russell's utter flop as an NFL quarterback -- low-lighted this week by his arrest for possession of a controlled substance in Alabama.

    But could a simple formula have warned us of Russell's lack of NFL readiness? And Ryan Leaf's and David Carr's and other failed, high-pick quarterbacks?

    Call it the Rule of 26-27-60.

        Tebow was the lowest of the rookies listed? The guy comes off as a well-spoken, athletic, mis-cast college quarterback who is trying to make it in the NFL. +Jesus. No scripture in the Wonderlic, I assume.

        I guess this works like a lot of analysis in that there are going to be outliers - Tebow will have more of an impact than Fitzpatrick has or ever will. Easy prediction, there.

          Nice theory but Marino got a 13. He was pretty good.

          Edit: I looked it up. It was a 15.

            I'm impressed that jocks can handle math questions to the tune of 26 right, and that it is has some connection to football performance.

              The only points I would get is if they counted drool on the paper and I spell my name correctly.

                    According to a guy going solely on stats...

                    I'm 6'2, 235, went to Penn State and just got 6 of those 7 questions right.

                      I'd like for my QB to know basic questions like those that are asked in the Wonderlic, but I would have to say that if any part of that 26-27-60 rule is not set in stone, it's the Wonderlic part. I'd bet that has the most variation than either of the other standards mentioned in the article.

                        bingo. i've always believed it was 28 or so starts and 60%+ completions (career) that were about the only two "paper" stats that meant a damn in college for a qb.
