Is that some serious distance between Locker & McElroy, or is the incremental difference not really that much?

One more strike for Locker, his stock continues to drop. I wonder if the guys that did well studied for it, while the other guys didn't as much? Newton & Locker both seem reasonably intelligent, enough so that they can learn an NFL offense w/no problem if they work at it. Which raises another question about work ethic.

McElroy is just a sharp dude, I think that's one of the higher scores of all time.

As for Locker I don't think this hurts him any. 20 is not a horrible score.

At the least it doesn't really help him either, as I've read 20 is the cut off, teams worry if the score is below that.

Here is a sample of the test.

Which I took for fun. Being 70, overweight, bad knees, and no interest in getting hit by Ray Lewis or anyother Pro for that matter! I'm in no way suggesting I'm looking for a job or even qualified. My education was two years at a Jr. College some 40+ years ago and I scored a 32.5, thats 13
right, 1 skipped, and 6 wrong within the 5 minute limit. No practice and no cheating so I'm unimpressed by scores that some of these QB's put up cause I'm surely no Rocket Man and they get prepped for this mess!
