Whether or not the test is football related has nothing to do with its validity.You make it seem like the the test is football related
combine performance and obvious lack of athleticism 
- such a high level of intelligence (~127 IQ when converted from the Wonderlic scoring system) coupled with his performance at Michigan made him an absolute steal.
What in football is complex? I'm pretty sure I could in 1 week of study under stand the most complicated defensive concepts. It's not like writing some complex banking application or somethingWhether or not the test is football related has nothing to do with its validity.
Its meant to test general intelligence. Something that researchers know, from literally 100 years of studying this, is that general intelligence is extremely strongly correlated with performance across a wide variety of occupations. Football included. It isn't an accident that Aaron Rodgers scored a 35, or that Tom Brady scored a 33. There's a reason Bill Belichick selected Brady in the 6th round even with his
Just to let you know, a 127 IQ puts Brady in the top 4.5% of the US population in terms of intelligence. And Rodgers' 130 IQ puts him in the top 3%.
Are there outliers? Absolutely. There are people with 80 IQs who are able to make billions of dollars. Dan Marino killed it for years in the league with a low Wonderlic score.
But on average, across populations, a low IQ indicates a lower probability of success in complex, rapidly-changing situations. Think of it as a measurement of mental horsepower.
All things considered, I would want my QB to have as much mental horsepower at his disposal as possible - it would give me far greater confidence in his ability to handle complex and rapidly-changing situations, and would give me more flexibility in the type of offense I designed for him to run.
Yeah, his height and lack of athleticism is definitely a worry. I can't argue with you on any of your points.
To be fair, I'm biased here - I'd love to see a bit of a hellraiser at QB. Probably not the smartest thing (the Jets aren't my team
A little fukkery at QB for once would be welcome
As far as Josh Allen goes - I'm with you all the way on him. Give him 2-3 years to develop and I think his ceiling is John Elway. Extremely bright, extremely athletic (6 foot 5 running a 4.75 40???) and he throws gotdamn ICBMs.
People forget that his first 10 years in the league, Elway almost threw more picks than touchdowns (158 TDs to 157 INTs)
But then he turned into a fukkin monster, and never let up until he retired.
The more intelligent you are the more likely you are to question leadership and challenge the norm.
Yea the Steelers didnt win those superbowls bc of him tho. Those Steeler teams were just fukking good
How can you think Josh Allen is a good QB?
