What do all 3 of our QBs have in common (besides the obvious)
High Wonderlic scores
Alex -- 40
Tolzien -- 38
Kaepernick -- 37

Of course, it don't mean squat when the bullets are flying but it is an interesting tidbit and, IMHO, shows that Harbs is looking for cerebral QBs.
All three are athletic. Tolzien didn't have the greatest 40 time but tied for second in the 20 yard shuttle.

It would seem that a QB running around in the pocket would need to run only about 20 yards while dodging DL, LBs, etc.
Tolzien's 3 cone tied for 3rd (that would also seem to be a better measure for a QB)
