Vince Young Reportedly Bombs Wonderlic

[fromthetop2]

According to press reports from the Indy combine, Vince Young rolled out a "6" on the Wonderlic Personnel Assessment test.

 

This test scores on this give the football teams a relative assessment of the player's cognitive ability (general intelligence) or aptitude testing. The reason this test is given, according to the Wonderlic people, is that "..it's a tool that measures how well people comprehend problems -- and how quickly they can solve them".

 

It is a 12-minute, 50 question test. You can take it numerous times. Dante Culpepper took it three times, and increased his score from 12-18.

 

Is it a predictor for NFL success?

 

Tom Brady scored a 30, Matt Hasselback a 35 as well as Matt Leinart.

Akili Smith scored a 30, Dan Marino a 16.

Jeff George scored a 14, Heath Shuler as well.

 

The average test score for an offensive lineman is 30, which is the same for attorneys.

 

HOWEVER , a SIX, has got to give the Titans - and many NFL teams - some pause. He reportedly retook it and jumped to a 16.

If you get points for putting your name on the test correctly then a 6 is pretty sad.

A 6, whats the highest u can get?? But a six, come now Vince. But honestly, with those decisions he made in the NCAA National Championship Game it doesnt show much

The highest score possible is 50. The average QB in the NFL scores between 25-50.

If the results of the test tell how well you should make decisions on the field I would Love to know what Mike Vick's results were. And if we are talking about the Combine Results, how is Marcus Vick doing?

You can look at what Marino did although he did have a low score he did have a great career although the superbowl win is all that eluded him. I just don't think that this should matter the only number he has to tell the NFL is 41-38.

great job vince

They said it wasnt a six, it was a 16 from the begining! But McNair scored just a 15 and look what he has done! This test is bogus and shouldnt be used by the NFL! Come on Marino scores a 15 and Vick scores a 20, who would you rather have? The most overrated athlete to every play sports or arguably the greatest QB to every wear shoulder pads? Right, thats an easy decision!

 

This test is stupid, if you can play football, then you can play, if you cant, then you cant!!!

It's something that should be considered, but by no means a tell-all of NFL success. It's something to talk about, and Young has finally hit the point to where they are looking for every little thing to critique him about.
