Skins officially pick Rocky McIntosh

[hooskins]

One thing that I think is a non factor, is the Wonderlic. I am glad that he isnt a complete idiot, like the rest of the players in the NFL, and got a 29, but seriously that test doesnt really say much. I have taken one for kicks, and it is so easy and boring it becomes difficult to focus while you take it; thats how bad it is. And come on McNabb got a terrible score on that test, and he is one of the better QBs out there. That throws away the fact that a qb "needs" to get 30-40 on that test. No written test can tell you how you perform on the field. Seriously the score really doesnt matter, unless you get low teens or single digits, and that means you have some other really big issues. I think getting a high score isnt that great either, and its especially not a good justification of Rocky. Now I do think its a great added bonus. The part I dont like is it almost seems that to Gibbs, Rocky's score was one of the major factors that affected the Skins choice.

I think his 3 degree's from college show he's more intellligent (and focused) than his 29 on a wonderlic.

I agree, but I still feel his degrees in criminology and english arent the hardest. But I do give him props, bc football does keep you busy. I guess my original point is Gibbs mentioned the Wonderlic numerous times, even more than his majors, so I am not talking about Rocky's intelligence, but more Gibbs focus on the Wonderlic as his tool of seeing that intelligence. It just made me feel nervous everytime he mentioned Rocky's wonderlic, as if it was an important very very factor.

Now this I agree with. I don't think Gibbs relied on the Wonderlic. I think they interviewed him and grilled him with football questions. They met with him and got a feel for his football acumen. I don't think they relied solely on the wonderlic. It's just that Gibbs mentioned it in his presser, that's all.
