Young will not throw at the combine; he will wait for the Texas pro day in a few weeks.

 

Part of the problem I've heard is that his neophyte agent, family friend Major Adams, was unaware that the test was to be given. (D'oh?) Consequently, Young did not take any pretests or study for the exam.

 

I think the score is at least an indicator of ability to grasp complex situations under a pressure situation. It is used, as are many other tests, in industry all of the time. They have their role.

 

Can any assumptins be made, for example in the case of Pac Man Jones, who rolled out a 13? You be the judge.

Who studies for a common sense test? Wonderlic has been giving at the combine for years. Vince knew it was coming and he blew it. Excuses only please those that make them. Yeah Marino didn't score great on it but his score was more than double Young's. You have to have a QB that can make quick decisions and apparently Vince isn't the greatest at doing it on paper. This shouldn't be the deciding factor on him but should play an important role.

Vince, from what I've seen, just looks as long as his line will let him, then make a play with his arm or legs. The legs keeps him from thinking. I don't personally believe he is dumb. I do believe he has not had to use his brain because he is such a blessed athlete and a true man amongst men when playing in college. His brain will have to be a full tilt in pro ball. I would expect him to be held back a couple of years as pro before he is full time at the helm. I imagine he would be brought in to help make plays when the team is struggling. His athleticism is too great to leave on the sidelines. Teams won't be able to understand his tendencies his first few times on the field and he should do well, UNTIL they figure him out. Then, it all changes. Vince will have to be a true student of the game to become the full package.

 

 

The question is not if he's able to do it, but if he's Willing to do it! :thumb:

Miami and Detroit are the two teams I keep hearing talk about Cutler! Miami would have to trade up and Detroit might would have to! :thumb:

All this talk about Young blowing his test and his ratings dropping are nothing but talk. This guy is the goods. He wins. He knows how to carry a team to a win. However, at this time, I'm convinced the Titans are posturing themselves to pickup Cutler. Signing McNair to a one year deal with options of cutting McNair at any time means Young is still on the list but it's far more appealing to bring Cutler in and use Volek if they have to. These two guys are very similar.

Tutans won't get Cutler.

      Farragut Blue VS Grey game… oh boy

      By MissHawking · Posted

      Never in my life have I seen a team in a scrimmage against their own defense look so lost and confused. The defense didn’t look much better, the coaching staff can’t keep their anger together, not only with the players but also with their other coaches. I feel awful for those players. None of them look like they wanted or should’ve been out there, but for the grown men on the sidelines acting like fools, it's just embarrassing to the Farragut name and reputation. I now see why they chose not to live stream this on their YouTube channel.

      We could sure use some math teachers country wide. Ever go into a store or restaurant and the bill comes to $9.97 and you give them a ten dollar bill and 2 pennies because you wanted a nickle back and then the meltdown starts and the next thing two more people have to come and help figure it out and the place comes to a complete halt. I see this everyday and it's a sad representation of all these schools allowing these kids out the door to get shortchanged the rest of their life.

      Stars, I heard we were searching far and wide for some math teachers. Any chance their kids bench press or 40 times are getting checked? LOL I’ve heard good things from 825.

      I think it was expected. “Bad” luck I guess to get a couple difference maker QBs in the same class. I thought the decision was made a little early myself, but they were struggling offensively last year.  I assume the running quarterback alco had last year would be a senior this fall, and the transfer would start the following two years in addition to getting a ton of playing time this year. Maybe he waits two yrs, but I doubt it. The kid is good. So is the one who stayed.
