I know these are essentially useless, but it's kinda interesting to look at

I don't even check those scores, football is not rocket science. If you can play the game you can play the game! :csa:

I disagree for QB's, although it says Marino and McNabb had low scores...so I guess your right.

Terry Bradshaw was supposed to be the village idiot but he led the Steeler's to four SB's. :csa:

How do these questions pertain to football? Is it to show how you perfom under pressure? lol

I dont think it means shit for any position...

Doesnt measure a qb's accuracy or decision making. Does answering a complicated question have anything to do with reading a defense??? You practice executing a play over and over until you have it down perfect and you learn what to do in every possible situation. Watch film to learn what defenses are going to try to throw at you.

If anything I would think the SECOND test shows something because it can show how you prepare and adapt. Idk overall its pretty pointless to me.

I guess it can show you if a guy is a complete dumbass and has a learning disability or extremely low IQ. Unless a guy pulls a vince young i would put no stock into it at all.

Yup... and if there would have been a spot for him, he may have led the Raiders to 4 SB's.

Right! I'd take that WAY overrated guy on my team ANY DAY. Bradshaw had a hell of a strong arm. He could make ANY throw needed. Anyone that says he was overrrated is just a fool... sorry.

Only the NFL combines could come up with this crap. Alex Smith got one of the highest scores ever and he barely knew the plays.

I could care less about the wunderlink scores.
