Yikes, that is really bad. I mean I think if you just put the same answer for each question say mark all the multiple choices as (a) or (b) or (c) etc...you'd have scored higher than 6. Here's a link to QB Wonderlic scores going back to Steve Young. A few guys have scored very low but none in single digits. Donovan McNabb - 16, 12 Dan Marino - 14 Brock Berlin - 13 Neil O'Donnell - 13 Michael Bishop - 10 Jeff George - 10 Wonderlic Scores If he did actually try, even if it was his first try and he didn't prepare for it a 6 would mean he couldn't absorb an NFL playbook or read an NFL Defense. In fact it would call into question how he passed his courses at Texas, even if he took a lot of crib classes. I mean I know Texas isn't Harvard, but still you have to be able to read and comprehend. I could understand this if it were Miami (Frank Gore scored a 6 and Sean Taylor a 9). But not Texas. Besides he comes across pretty well in interviews. Terry
I couldn't believe this when I heard about it yesterday. This guy is as dumb as a brick. He has no chance of reading coverages or even a playbook for that matter. He's on the same level as a farm animal.
Can he even tie his shoes? What a humiliation; at least it should be to him, UT and Mack Brown. Talk about misplaced values. I see a few tumultuous years in the NFL followed by arena football. Nobody that stupid can play QB for any length of time in the NFL.
That is unbelievably low. If I remember right there are 20 questions and four choices for each? If so you would epect about a 5 by guessing. Plus or minus for variation and a 6 is right there as to what you would expect for guessing. I don't think Vince helped himself for the draft. Gator Bill
They are now supposedly looking at Vinces Test and speculation is that it was scored incorrectly for some reason and he's now being attributed with a 16! BTW: Georges Jet's are always a team that comes up when people start talking about draft day trades to move up and draft Vincent Young! Terry
Guys, You can give yourself a sample test. there are only ten questions but it only gives you 2 minutes. It does not calculate your score. It just keeps track of how many you chose correctly. There is a conversion scale at the mani page. This test can't be too hard... I scored a 50 and had 20 seconds left on the timer after answering the last question. Wonderlic sample test
Yeah if that's the test it's way too simple, I got all 9 questions right and had a more than a minute left. But for some reason they seemed familar, I wonder if I took that test last year. Terry
from the Kelly Green ND site... "Vince Young scored a 6 on the wonderlic test. I honestly think that might make him functionally retarded. The wonderlic results are highly correlated with those of the standard IQ test, which would suggest an IQ of below 50. I actually think he qualifies for disability benefits. " "Correction: House Rock Built did their research and found a formula that converts the Wonderlic score to an IQ score. Young's IQ would be a 72, which is lower than Forrest Gump's." Whooowee!
I'm surprised Marino and McNabb's scores were so low. I guess there are exceptions to evry rule. PJ in Jersey
Terry, I felt the same way, like I'd taken that one before. Perhaps that's a sample test that has floated around the 'net for a while.
I guess Mack Brown wasn't kidding. He's hinted at this before, when he said that the key for the LHorns was junking their regular offense and allowing VY to improvise. Well... if he really can't read defenses or even remember the plays... I played with a guy like that in high school and another one in junior college. Both were so slow, that we had to call the play three times in the huddle; once for the WRs and center, then again for the rest of the team, then a third time just for the slow learner. On my high school team (junior year) it sounded like this: "Eye right, mo left, 23 trap pass on GO" This means the TE is on the right side, the left end is split out wide left, the flanker is in motion to the left, the C and RG are blocking down to their left, while the LG pulls to the right and traps the LDT on the right side. The backs delay and the FB runs through the 23 hole (between RG and RT) pretending to receive a handoff, while the QB rolls left, after showing the play-action to the right. He has three choices of receivers: The WR on the streak, the flanker on a deep curl or the TE who delayed with the play-action and then drags behind everyone to the left behind the LBs. The play is launched on the third sound, as in "ready, set GO." Although this could also be "down, set, HUT etc..." With just the down linemen and backs remaining in the huddle, the QB repeats the play: "Eye right, mo left, 23 trap pass on GO." "Ready?" "Break" And the team breaks the huddle together... As the team approaches the line, I would have to go over to our RT, who was 6'6" 265 and give him his specific blocking assignment for that play, "Tommy...I want you to hit that guy in front of you as hard as you can." Tommy always promised me that he would, and he usually did...but we never let him play quarterback... :roll: ....................JO'Co
I of course have no idea how smart VY is, he's been a star at every level so far. But there are a lot of things you can do on talent alone till you get to the NFL. I remember when Hatfield first came to Rice and brought his version of the wishbone, after getting it installed he started to have some success with it and for a couple of years there he was doing really well, then he got off to a slow start when he was expecting a good year. He had finally put in all the offense and had the squad, but it wasn't working. He went back to the basics and ran only 5 plays the rest of the year and finished strong. I would imagine that Vince really had only 5 plays in what they called the Zone read offense. He keyed everything off of what the DE did. You didn't see many 5 reciever sets like Drew Brees used to run at Purdue. But nothing that comes after his college career will diminish what he did as a collegian. He was, to me at least, one of the most exciting college QB's I have ever seen. My top 5 college ( in no particular order) QB's in terms of joy in watching them play in college. 1. Joe Theisman.. he's my favorite all-time. 2. Vincent Young 3. Dewey Warren ...The Swamp Fox 4. Joe Montana 5. The Morgan Boys at Air Force and Dee Dowis also USAFA.
