Updating a previous item, Missouri QB Blaine Gabbert scored a 31 -- not a 42 -- on the Combine Wonderlic exam.

It's not nearly as impressive as Gabbert's initial score, which he recorded at the Athletes' Performance Institute while prepping for the Scouting Combine

31 still pretty good.

[micnificent28]

It is still good. But he was getting alot of hype with his score being 42. He is not the coach on the field everyone was making him out to be.

Still don't want him.

Still don't want him.

Are you familiar with Peyton Manning's score? (hint: 28)

[Grammer]

he could get a perfect score and i still wouldnt want him

31 is fine. However...

If Newton had reported he scored a 32, and it was later reported that it was in fact a 21, and further learned that the 32 was scored at Whitfield's training facility, what would have happened?

Everyone would have been talking about how he was a liar, that he hadn't learned from past mistakes, and that his character flaws were too great to keep him in consideration.

Now, tell me again about how there is no double standard.

...didn't know Gabbert told people he scored a 41 at the combine, you have proof he was the one who said it? If you do, then he is a liar...but that is unfounded unless you have proof.

I agree. Gabbert has some great p.r guys behind him. Him being even in the consideration for the top pick is amazing to me. Like I said 32 is damn good but you were already calling him a coach on the field. With all this intellect,

why was his team losing so much in big games?

For all his manning like smarts he could only post 15 touchdowns in a pass happy offense. Missouri's offense made chase Daniels look all world.

Gabbert was on Rich Eisen's podcast and he said he didn't know what his Wonderlic was but his highest practice score was 42. Simple misunderstanding. No big deal.

Gabbert said he didn't know what he got on the Wonderlic at the Combine but got a 42 before it. However, Florio reported he DID get a 42 on the Combine yesterday in an interview with him.

I'm not convinced Rotoworld is right, but it doesn't matter much.

Still better than Cam.

[Lumps]

Honestly, this makes me want him even more. There is not really too much of a trend in wonderlic scores and they don't mean much but 30-35 seems to be the elite status range. Of course there are exceptions and maybe that doesn't mean much. There isn't much when you look at 40+ players so this helps him IMO. As far as if he is better than Cam, I really think they are 50/50. I see a lot more hype for Cam and dummies sucking it up but they both have great size and talent and huge ????.
