miles austin? wow. I would think Sean Lee and maybe Sensabaugh being smarter.

 

[SDCowboy]

They seemed to put Miles in because of being an UDFA and great. What do they classify Romo as then?

Lazy.

 

[bbgun]

The guy who never heard of the "Hail Mary" play? Interesting.

 

[percyhoward]

What do they classify Romo as then?

Superb physical specimen. (Unlike someone like Gates, whose smarts help him overcome his obvious athletic shortcomings.)

 

[21Savage]

I'm a huge Austin fan and cowboy homer but it doesn't add up. You can probably find any QB converted to WR who should be a smarter WR. Maybe even Crayton.

I also always heard Randy Moss is one of the smartest out there.

 

[CowboyMcCoy'sWife]

woo hoo, Miles Austin! haha

 

[the truth of it all]

LOL @ Sensabaugh being thought as smarter than miles. have you heard him talk? god what a scholar

 

[theogt]

He's probably not even the 3rd smartest player on the team.

 

[Future]

He's probably not even the 3rd smartest player on the team.

You're definitely right. All three quarterbacks are smarter...because QB's are just plain smarter. Then Kosier and Witten, and I even think MBIII is a pretty smart guy he just doesn't let anybody know about it.

depends how you judge intelligence. Just because someone does not have/use correct grammar is not indicative of not having good thinking ability, nor the inability to process information.

Strange list.

I would rather a list of dumbest players where Haynesworth would be #1.

OK, then you guys should be talking about the most educated players not the most intelligent... "Sitt, what it do?"

 

[Bob Sacamano]

Well I'm smarter than you, gapetto.

MBIII, in my opinion, is the smartest because he rarely talks to the media

 

[baj1dallas]

It's more like a list of the "craftiest" players or something. I don't know it's kind of a weird and random list, but whatever.

 

[koolaid]

Strange list.

Oh I dunno. I think Haynesworth is pretty smart. He found a way to land a 100 million dollar contract and sit on his ***.

Yea, that makes him a smart *** alright....
