I don't think the point about quarterback IQs is necessarily valid. McNabb got a 14 on the Wonderlic (IQ 88), but Tom Brady got a 33 (IQ 126) and Eli Manning got a 39 (IQ 138). All are very good quarterbacks.

And Peyton Manning 28. There's nothing to it. The author pulled out an anecdote based on limited information (using the anecdote to support a theory instead of the inverse) by Gladwell, which surprise, is postured as fact.

I hesitate to call Eli a very good QB, and I'm a Giants fan
