Vince Young - 6 on Wonderlic? per PFT - MERGED

Already posted..... look before you start a thread for once, Kelly. It was right at the top this time.

 

I'm pretty skeptical about this. There's no way he could be this dumb.

 

I'm curious to know what Reggie McNeal scored. They've been so indeliby linked for the last five years, I'd love for it to come out that Reggie doubled Vince's score - you know, for the drama.

 

Is this a joke? I couldn't tell the first time.

 

Not to be an ass, but they both posted the article at 7:57

 

Young in round 2. :beer:

 

No thank you :beer:

 

I agree. There are people who ACE the Wonderlic and are just pathetic athletes, if that's what you want to call them.

 

but i think the objective is to find athletes who are also intelligent, not one or the other.


cheers

 

I have a gut feeling that this isn't true.I believe it's common for players agents to spread rumours about other players in the lead up to the draft.Considering how shit PFT is,i can see them being gullible and accepting anything coming from an agents mouth as the truth.

 

This can't be good for Vince. Such a low score could only bring him down further in the draft. Quarterbacks in the NFL have to be somewhat intelligent, they essentially have to know what every offensive players job is on every play and read entire defensive coverages.

 

This is horrible news IF true, luckily for us I will assume that is a very big IF. Besides the fact that PFT is not exactly the most reliable source, I just have a hard time believing that a national champion Qb can be that dumb..

 

Did anyone not see this coming? Anyone who saw any of his interviews could tell he was not too bright

 

I agree. I guess what I'm trying to say is that some people dont test well, it's just that simple. Some of the smartest people take tests and freeze up. I mean, this kid obviously has the ability to get the open receiver and read defenses, I just dont know how accurately the wonderlic test can really gauge a persons FOOTBALL intelligence. But again, I agree with your assessment

 

I sure as hell didn't expect this. There's a difference between "not too bright" and scoring a frickin' six on the Wonderlic Test. I still doubt this rumor is true.

 

brock berlin scored a 2

 

ya know, i understand that some people don't test well. but i think that applies to something more like the SAT or GRE, or some kind of difficult standardized test with a lot of weight on it.

a test such as this - where one of the questions is, "what is the 9th month of the year?" - shouldn't really affect people who cannot test well. some of these questions were 2nd grade level questions, regardless of whether or not one can take tests well.

but yes, evidently, Vince Young can play football. I wouldn't go so far as to say he drops out of the 1st Round -- that's ridiculous. But it wouldn't suprise me if he now falls into the 5-10 range (provided this is true).



cheers

 

A 2:rofl2: that has to be a record.

 

The time stamp is screwy.... I posted in the first thread before Kelly reposted the article.... no biggie. Something wierd happened in the merge.
