    from an espn insider article.

    "That's just not the case. There's absolutely no relationship between a quarterback's Wonderlic score and his likelihood of succeeding as a pro quarterback. Sure, there are examples of excellent quarterbacks with high numbers -- Eli Manning scored a class-high 39 in 2004, notably -- but the majority of quarterbacks have numbers that are about average.

    Since 1995, the average quarterback taken in the first round has had a Wonderlic score of 26.8. Both Drew Brees and Peyton Manning scored a 28, about average. Quarterbacks below that figure include Carson Palmer (26), Ben Roethlisberger (25), Chad Pennington (24), Steve McNair (15) and Donovan McNabb (14). If we go further into the past, Brett Favre scored a 22, while Dan Marino, Jim Kelly and Terry Bradshaw each failed to break 15."

    Wonderlic scores give us tons of insight as to how stupid one can be yet still make millions.

    How anyone over the age of 7 doesnt score at least a 20 on the wonderlic is mind blowing.

    And if you ask me, I think Pennington is the smartest QB to play the game.

    There are at least 15 people who post here regularly who can't crack 20.

    Doubt it. If you can't do better than 20 on the 'lic, you probably couldn't log in to a computer.

    Being completely serious.
