Wonderlic doesnt matter to me. If someone cant read or write but has played QB since age 3 and eats, sleeps, and sh*ts knowledge of the game I'd take him over someone that scores a 50. Not one question on the test is about reading defenses or football period. who cares

Well it seems most people here and around the football world thought Mallet was a semi retard and that deterred them from liking him.

Did you hold that opinion of him and do you still?

I don't think people thought he was a retard as much as they did that he just comes off as an asshole.

I really like him. My only fear with him is he comes off as a Jeff George type. Probably not fair but just some of his comments to the media and stuff.

But the talent is there. He can make throws that some NFL QBs can't even throw.

I never met him so I never wondered about how smart he was. I've never heard the media question his intelligence or ability to read defense, but I heard he likes to go on skiing trips(cocaine use) and has a great arm. Hope he's not like the guy from the "The Last Boy Scout", if he is atleast he'd move the chains;)

Is he possibly taken ahead of Cam pending Cam's Wonderlic score?

It is possible but I don't think likely. But I do see a situation where Mallett is off the board by 10 or 12.

Anything could happen.

Cam's upside IMO is higher than Mallett which is why he will likely go higher.

yeah because how many qbs in the league are big statues.

Tom Brady isn't exactly a track star.

Slow-footedness doesn't worry me if a guy can read a defense fast enough to get the ball out of his hands before rushers get to him.

If you look up the stats, you'll find the "statues" tend to take fewer sacks than the runners.

There are reasons I don't want Mallett, but that isn't one of them.

      Trade deadline

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      Saints trade WR Shaheed to Seahawks Seahawks get: WR Rashid Shaheed Saints get: 2026 fourth-round pick, 2026 fifth-round pick Seahawks' grade: A- Saints' grade: B+ One of the NFL's hottest passing teams just got better. The Seahawks currently rank third in EPA per dropback (0.25) and first in success rate on dropbacks (53%). And now they are adding Shaheed in a move that makes sense both on the field and in terms of where the Seahawks are as a franchise. Shaheed, 27, is averaging 1.8 yards per route run this season. But I think that sells him short because that number is down a bit from his career average entering this year (2.0) and he's been playing a role that includes running fewer vertical routes (34%) compared to last year (44%). Shaheed also has consistently posted above-average open scores in ESPN's receiver score metrics, including a 63 this season that ranks 28th among wide receivers. As a complement to Jaxon Smith-Njigba, I expect Shaheed will run downfield more often and be a bigger threat in that role than rookie Tory Horton was. When Cooper Kupp returns, he and Shaheed will make for a nice pair of secondary threats behind one of the best receivers in the league in Smith-Njigba. This is the time to strike for the Seahawks. FPI gives Seattle an 84% chance to make the playoffs and a 5% shot at winning the Super Bowl. This addition helps boost their chances without mortgaging their future the way the Colts did in the Sauce Gardner trade. Shaheed is a pending free agent but given the leverage of the moment for the Seahawks and their need I think they ought to be plenty willing to pay the cost. Shaheed is young enough to where if Seattle doesn't retain him he should sign a free agent contract that would yield Seattle a compensatory pick -- if the Seahawks don't nullify that pick with signings of their own. Because the Seahawks currently have $79 million in cap space next year, per OverTheCap, getting that compensatory pick is not guaranteed. The Saints are not rolling in cap space the way the Seahawks are -- and thus would land a compensatory pick for Shaheed -- but they got more draft capital this way than they otherwise would have. Considering New Orleans' 1-8 record, this should have been an easy decision.
