pmoehrin Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Terrelle Pryor scored a 7 on is Wonderlic. If you remember back Vince Young got 6.I mean Wonderlic really doesn't tell the whole story on a player's ability to play, but still 7?Its not that huge of a deal as people think it is.If I were a scout or a GM I could really care less what the guy scored. Flat out talent is by far the most important factor in measuring how good a player is. I don't care whether or not he knows what the atomic number of Niobium is.I much rather have a taped interview to go on then some standardized test. Anything I would want to know about the guy personality and intellegence wise I could find out with that and be much more accurate about it as well. That I would actualy put alot of weight on if I were a scout or GM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 I don't care whether or not he knows what the atomic number of Niobium is.That's not really what the Wonderlic measures. And no, there's no perfect correlation between Wonderlic score and performance--Dan Marino is evidently a functional retard but a great quarterback, Ryan Fitzpatrick is a quick thinker and average quarterback--but a single-digit score is kind of worrisome. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HedleyLamarr Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Pryor did great on the Math and Science portions of the test, I heard. He struggled with the "Reading Defenses" portion, however.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSky Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Peter King's prediction is that the Falcons will make the playoffs as a wild-card, then win at St. Louis, at Lambeau, and at New Orleans to reach the Super Bowl. Well, if they do that, even I'll have to admit they earned it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got 'em winning the West at 9-7.2. I don't know what that means.On another note, check out this scan of a fantastic pic from 1964 featured in this week's SI issue. It's from photographer Neil Leifer's new book Guts and Glory: The Golden Age of American Football, 1958-78. It's already on my gift-suggestions-to-spouse-for-the-very-next-holiday-occasion list. Here are a couple more of his I found online. I'm going to enjoy that book.Winning TD in "The Greatest Game Ever Played." This pic is dripping with that game's ambience and drama. Beautiful.

Sport Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 2. I don't know what that means.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHIFLNWZBfAI miss those Chargers uniforms, Tim Dwight was one fast white dude, and listening to him call Reds games on FSO every day, it's always weird hearing Thom Brennaman doing football games. Carson Palmer could be back in Cincy soon as next week.Why? Andy Dalton has looked better every game. He'll make rookie mistakes this year, but anyone who watched Carson Palmer in 2010 will tell you that he made a truckload of rookie mistakes last year. My analysis of the Bengals now that their preseason is over is that they'll be a bad team, but they're not going to be the historically bad 0-16 team that a lot of (dumb) people are predicting. Their schedule is fairly easy and it'll benefit them at least 3 wins. They'll probably steal a couple along the way. I'm predicting a 5-11 season.The defense is a pretty good unit and they will keep them in a lot of games, but they will ultimately have to spend too much time on the field and will lose games late thanks to fatigue. The Bengals will play in and lose a lot of low scoring close games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lights Out Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 I miss those Chargers uniforms,I don't. They were missing an integral element that any truly great Chargers uniform needs: powder blue. Plus, Ryan Leaf wore them.For all of the current set's imperfections, I truly believe this is the best uniform in the league:Tim Dwight was one fast white dude,THIS. Just look at his college days: (Why did Iowa ever get rid of the Tim Dwight-era uniforms? Sure beats looking exactly like the Steelers!)

The Green Bay NBC affiliate will not air the speech. Since the kickoff is at 8:30 Eastern and other networks are carrying it, does it really matter as he sill start around 7?
