gobillsinytown Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 Profootballtalk.com reports Vince scored a five out of fifty on the Wonderlic. And that's after someone prepping him specifically for the test. I'm not a big proponent of the riduculous level of testing and prodding they do at the Combine, but scoring five out of fifty is about as dumb as it gets. No wonder the agents don't want their players there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pyrite Gal Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 I thought he got a 3? 611918[/snapback] I though boy genius Peters got a 6. It does not matter since what we are talking about for Young is that folks want him to play QB. We're talking about not simply making good decisions, but doing this quickly while big ugly guys are trying to kill you (it must be like you're a quail or a 78 year old man hunting with Dick Cheney). Clearly on does not need to be a rocket scientist to succeed at being an NFL QB (look at Jim Kelly after all) but if this Young score is remotely true thn pencil him in as a rich man's Awtwan Randle El rather than as even a David Carr.

a player to be named later Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 Its always intresting to see the scores. I once read that 7 or 8 is considered literate. Amazing how these idiots make it through college, and really just how stupid they are. out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sisyphean Bills Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 FWIW, Chris Gamble got a 9 as well. Roderick Green posted the 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sisyphean Bills Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 The best possible score on the Wonderlic is a 50. The lowest is a zero. A score of 20 is consistent with an IQ of about 100, while a 10 means the player can be generously described as "mostly literate." If you understand the theory of the Bell Curve, you'll understand why a 19 Wonderlic score isn't a 95 IQ, 18 does not equal 90, 10 does not equal 50, etc.... A score of 10 would be roughly equal to an IQ of 70...moderately retarded. http://journals.aol.com/monponsett/TheBell...ck/entries/1603 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokinandjokin Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 Vince Young tied U of Miami's Frank Gore for the lowest all-time score on the Wonderlic. The score probably doesn't matter much if you are a RB, but as a QB, that is not good. For VY, a player who's best ability (running) will be neutralized by NFL LB's, and who's throwing is suspect, this test score could drop his stock.

Vince Young is walking with a big flashing sign over his head: "NFL Bust.... GM Killer..." He is an amazing athlete, but his skill set right now (delivery, ability to stand in the pocket) means he is far from being ready to be an NFL QB.

justnzane Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 It's not college. It's a football player at the University of Texas. 611946[/snapback] Yeah, he got his education in a state where bushed "supported" education, but never funded it. The U of Tex is not known for their Rhodes Scholars. I mean after all look at Mike Williams, look at that sorry waste of space, he was about as bright at as a 1 watt nitelite. This is probably the sign that VY's stock is goin to drop. This also means that VY will feel liked he just got KY'd by a guy Named Bubba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
