Gronk proves that book smarts and football smarts are not the same thing.

I wish more people would understand this. Everytime I hear them talk about how Fitzpatrick is an intelligent QB because he's from Harvard I roll my eyes.

Fitz got about an 48 on the Wonderlic and Marino got a 16 IIRC... Who would you rather have as a QB?

This thread made me ridiculously happy.

Randy Moss scored poorly on the Wonderlic I think and BB called him the smartest receiver he's ever coached.

Just like there is "book smarts" and "common sense", there is "book smarts" and "football smarts". There are plenty of non-mensa members who are football stars based on instincts and football sense....

Of course Fitz, why? After 2 years I would know that I'm not going to win a superbowl with him and cut bait. Marino would've put me back 17 years.

The internet is great. I just took a quick "walk" down that parade route on GoogleEarth.

I've done that before. Not this parade route, but I mean using google maps to check out places I've never been or haven't been in a long time.

Enjoy!


A Hero’s Welcome for Malcolm Butler
An undrafted free agent who once worked at Popeyes for $7.25 an hour became the unlikely star of Super Bowl XLIX. The MMQB followed him back home to Vicksburg, Miss., where everyone already knew his name
