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.

      RR, you might remember. Didn’t someone hide the kicking shoe that game? It seems I remember we had missed a kick the week before, and we needed all the points we could get. We thought we had a better chance going for two, so $?&@$ hid the shoe after the first miss that game. No one on our sideline looked for it very hard.

      I will never forget the 1983 Heritage vs Maryville game. I remember driving home and listening to WGAP. Can't remember the announcers name. He asked Coach Story why he kept going for 2? Story told him " Why didn't you ask Renfro that last year"

      Well nothing new, the Mustangs are really talented again this coming season!  They very well could go undefeated in regular season.  We shall see what happens in postseason.  I think the path to state title game is a little clearer than years past.  I think the Stangs are going to be really good and I think the traditional teams around in 2A are not going to be as strong.  It should be a fun season!
