    I’d still draft him. Design a ‘wildcat’ type of package for him.
    Pair him with an average fields and see if the two of them on the field together could cause some production. See if he develops over the next couple years, if not, keep using him as ‘slash’
    we’d have to have a HC and OC that understands the importance of a dynamic offense tho.
    How is it possible to have the best owner, best front office, best gm, best HC, good/great drafts every year and good FA acquisitions every year, but only have 3 playoff wins in 14 years?

      Right. I am telling you small hands suck for QB's. He fumbled six times last year. I also want to see his wonderlic score if he is willing to take it. 22 or more, he is fine. 17 and under he is not!

      I took the test by the way and scored upper green ... a 38.
      And FWIW, I believe you were the first person I remember pointing out that Green's arms were shorter than any starting center.

      My guess is that there isn't much correlation between Wonderlic and playing ability. Apparently Ben got a 25, which is also not great.

      I think it's about how fast you can read defenses. Not how fast you can do math problems.

      What would be cool is if they could put them in some kind of VR that takes them into the helmet of an NFL QB. See if they can find open guys at NFL speeds.

        Dan Marino scored a 16.

        He wasn't too bad.

          The average Wonderlic score for an NFL quarterback is around 24–25.9.
          Explanation
          • The Wonderlic test is used to measure cognitive aptitude.
          • The average Wonderlic score for a quarterback in the NFL is around 24–25.9.
          • The meaning of a Wonderlic score depends on the intended career field.
          • A score of 24 is considered the minimum target score for NFL quarterbacks.
          • A score of 30 or more indicates superior cognitive aptitude.
          • A score of 40 indicates that the test-taker is in the top 1%.
          • A score of 50 is extremely rare, achieved by only 1 in 30,000 test-takers.

          Yes, I did not like the Green pick as he had short arms, was short for an OL and was weak.

          Tomlin hasn't won a playoff game in seven years and counting. The earliest will be eight years. I guess that in Art Rooney's II, opinion is worth a 3 year extension.

          Our 2024 draft looks to be grade A. Our 2023 draft is an A. The roster is talented, but Mike Tomlin is still the head coach.

          *** Mike Tomlin is the best coach since the AFL- NFL merger that has not won a playoff game in 8 seasons or more. It's either him or Lewis. ***
