Even if Janis is eligible for MENSA, that doesn't make him smart or dependable on the field. Other people depending on you to be where you are supposed to be WHEN you are supposed to be there does not require a high level of intelligence.
It takes a fair amount of practice, technique and by the numbers adherence to the plan to make it work. You do need to recognize what the Defense is doing to you, and that mainly requires experience. Once you have Nelson or Cobb levels of trust, then you can help the QB improvise and make suggestions.Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs.

Average NFL score is 20. Average WR score is 17.Originally posted by Patler View PostEven the 23 is much higher than many NFL players. Scores in the "teens" are quite common.I can't run no more
With that lawless crowd
While the killers in high places
Say their prayers out loud
But they've summoned, they've summoned up
A thundercloud
They're going to hear from me - Leonard Cohen

Agreed, there have been a lot of smart people who failed in the NFL. I only countered because someone specifically referred to his Wonderlic score. He isn't a dummy, but still might not be an NFL WR. However, it is looking like he can have a career as a ST specialist, if nothing else; at least for a while.Originally posted by pbmax View PostEven if Janis is eligible for MENSA, that doesn't make him smart or dependable on the field.

Years ago I had an article that was a collaboration between some scholarly types and coaches. One of the interesting discussions was on QBs and intelligence. All agreed they needed to be smart to learn and carryout the plan; but they also agreed that many of the very smartest ones failed because they saw too many options/alternatives in situations, and would not accept the "if this, then that" approach that works best in a team game.

typical 2015 Packers game...offense only shows up for half the game, d is generally good with the momentary hiccup, too many penalties. Rodgers attitude after the game is alarming. he and mm need to get their heads right with each other. jones was good, janis good on kick-offs (keep him away from the o), o-line struggled in running situations, lacy danced around too much.
