The wonderlic is far from pointless. In fact all of the test are relevent in some way. Obviously only Al Davies takes them in isolations and drafts the fastest/strongest/biggest player irrelevant of how good they are or whether they are worth taking in that position.

I'd say the Wonderlic is relevent though. You want a QB (in particular) who is inteligent enough to make a decision/read defences/ audible calls/ handle the media. All of which are linked to inteligence and the Wonderlic test.

Maybe not pointless but way down the list of importance when you are thinking of drafting a player.I think Young showed in the 2nd half of last season how little the test proves how good a QB will be.Dan Marino got 15 in the Wonderlic and it didn't stop him becoming one of the best QB's ever.

According to the link I posted ther has only ever been 1 recorded

"Pat McInally, a graduate of Harvard University who played wide receiver and punted for the Bengals, is the only football player to record a confirmed perfect score of 50."

But that may explain why

Looks like Kurt Warner will retire on friday from the reports on the nfl website.

He is still an amazing player at this stage in his career and he will surely someday make it to the HOF and fully deserve it too

I cant see them going with him TBH and I cant see them having much trouble getting a better Free agent QB if there is one with all those recieving threats they have, although it wouldnt suprise me if Boldin was gone before the season begins.

Im not so sure TBH they are in a similar position QB wise unless they have seen something in Alex Smith which they havent previous years I think they may well draft another QB or try get one in free agency!

I think the Seahawks may well suprise a few people but who knows with that division your Rams may even sneak it with a 7-9/8-8 season
