Alright, let’s talk about this Antonio Brown fella and his Wonderlic score, whatever that is. Folks keep jabberin’ about it, so I figured I’d put in my two cents, you know? Don’t expect no fancy words from me, I just say it like it is.
Now, this Wonderlic thing, from what I gather, it’s some kinda test they give these football players. Like a brain teaser or somethin’. They say it tells you how smart a fella is, but I ain’t so sure about that. Common sense ain’t somethin’ you learn from a test, that’s for sure.
So, people wanna know, what did Antonio Brown score on this here Wonderlic? Well, that’s the million-dollar question, ain’t it? They keep it hush-hush a lot of the time. Like it’s some big secret. Makes you wonder why, right? Maybe they don’t want us knowin’ if these fellas can think straight or not!
I heard tell some players score high, some score low. There’s this one fella, Pat McInally, they say he scored a 50. Fifty! That’s a whole lotta points, must be a smart cookie. But he was a punter, not a quarterback or nothin’. Makes you think, does bein’ smart matter as much if you’re just kickin’ the ball?
- They say a good score is like, 26 or somethin’.
- And if you get a high score, you’re good for the job.
- But then you see some fellas playin’ real good who didn’t score so high.
Then there’s this Hurts fella, they were sayin’ he scored low, like an 18 or a 21. People were worried, said he wasn’t smart enough to be a quarterback. But he’s playin’ in the big leagues, ain’t he? So, how much does that test really matter? That’s what I’d like to know.
I reckon it’s more about how you play on the field than how you do on some test. You can be a genius, but if you can’t throw a ball or catch it, you ain’t gonna be much help to the team. And some of these players, they got instincts you can’t test for. They just know what to do, it’s like magic.
Now, I heard tell some folks say this Wonderlic test is supposed to show how good you are at problem-solving. You know, thinkin’ on your feet. That’s important in football, sure, but it ain’t everything. You gotta be strong, gotta be fast, gotta be tough. And you gotta be able to work with your teammates, that’s a big one. No test can tell you if a fella’s a good teammate or not.
They say the quarterbacks and the offensive linemen, they should score high on this test. ‘Cause they gotta do a lot of thinkin’ during the game. But linebackers too, they gotta be smart. They gotta read the play and react quick. So, it ain’t just one position that needs brains. They all need brains, just in different ways.
This Antonio Brown, he’s a wide receiver. They catch the ball, they run fast. Maybe he don’t need to be a genius to do that. But he’s gotta be smart enough to know the plays, to run the right routes, to make the catch. And he was good at it, real good, for a while there. So, whatever he scored on that test, it didn’t seem to hold him back too much, did it?
I heard tell some people get all worked up about these Wonderlic scores. They compare players, they judge ’em. But I say, let the fellas play. Let ’em show you what they can do on the field. That’s what matters. A test is just a test, it ain’t the whole story.
They got these lists and charts and all, showin’ you all the players’ scores. You can look it up if you want, see who’s supposed to be smart and who ain’t. But don’t put too much stock in it, I say. Life ain’t a test, and neither is football. It’s about heart, it’s about guts, it’s about gettin’ the job done. And that’s somethin’ no test can measure.
So, this Antonio Brown and his Wonderlic score, well, it’s just one little piece of the puzzle. He’s a talented fella, no doubt about it. He had his troubles, sure, but that ain’t got nothin’ to do with a test. That’s just life, and life ain’t always easy, no matter how smart you are. So let’s focus on what matters – can they play ball or not?
