The consensus I've heard is that Murray has elite accuracy whereas Stick has accuracy concerns at the NFL level. I think athletically they're much closer than most people (outside of us NDSU fans) would think.
As far as baseball vs basketball for him I used to be in your line of thought since baseball players make more money than NFL players and have longer careers. But now that he's trending towards a top 10 pick NFL is probably the smarter choice since it's money right away (whereas in baseball you have to earn your way to the money) and he can always go the Tebow route if it doesn't work out in the NFL since you can play baseball well into your 30s whereas that's very rare, even for QBs, in the NFL.
Pretty much all of this. I'm not going to comment on the athleticism piece because I don't know Murray's athleticism, although I do know I'd feel much more comfortable with Stick running the ball. With the info he's been given, going with football is absolutely the right choice.
Easton is in the top half of wonderlic scores. Not an insane score, but definitely near the top. I am not surprised to see who is at the bottom...

I'm surprised that with so much riding on QB drafting, a more specialized test hasn't been developed for QBs. Something that focuses on the speed of pattern recognition and other mental tasks unique to their position. Maybe they get all they need through watching tape and workouts I guess and a test like that just like the wonderlic is just another hoop to jump through.
Wonderlic scores:
Fitzpatrick 48
Wentz 40
Brady 33
Stick 32
Elway 29
Foles 29
Brees 28
P. Manning 28
Favre 22
Stand your ground, have a tough hide, roam wild and free, have a strong spirit, let the chips fall where they may.
Mahomes 24
From what I've read 20 is average.
