VINCE IS STOOPID?



A league source tells us that there's a rumor making the rounds at the combine that Texas quarterback Vince Young scored a miserably horrible six on the Wonderlic test.



A six! That's bad. It's beyond bad. In fact, it's the lowest score that we can ever remember hearing anyone getting.



All incoming NFL players take a 50-question version of the Wonderlic, with a 12-minute window within which to finish it.



We found 15 sample Wonderlic questions on ESPN.com's page 2, including such brain-benders as selecting the ninth month of the year from among five possible choices. We'd like to think that most people of average intelligence could get at least six of the 15 sample questions right.



Getting a total of only six out of a total of 50 questions of that same kind is pa-freakin'-thetic. For a guy who's going to be called upon to read defenses and call audibles and work through a progression of receivers against NFL-caliber opposition, it's downright scary.



The source tells us that he hasn't seen the result in writing yet, but that he's "99 percent" certain that Young's score was six.



Said the source, who knows a thing or two about evaluating college players:



"I predict he'll fall all the way out of the first round."



That's a bold statement, and we're not saying that we agree with it -- primarily because our guess is that there's someone almost dumb enough to get a six on the Wonderlic, who'll overlook Young's low score along with any other concerns that might come to light over the next two months.

Hmm he's still getting picked in the first round, and the combine is the most overrated thing ever.

Tell that to Matt Jones' bank account.

huh. he doesn't seem unusually stupid in interviews. maybe he just 'mailed it in'. I'll bet anyone $100 that he still goes in the first round. (barring serious injury)

[Dids]

I can't imagine him dropping out of the top 5.

If he really got a 6 I think he may drop. NFL offenses are very complicated and QB's have to be experts on them. His offense in college was basically him running around hoping someone was open.

[in48092]

he's such a good athlete that he's worth a 1st round pick as a WR/RB/DB. i reiterate, there is NO WAY he drops out of the first round. $100

[roundmound]

he isn't fast enough to be a WR/RB/DB. Now he could easily be a TE or LB.

I don't know how I should feel.... Happy that Vince Young is a retard or sad because we (that's right, I said it!) got beaten by a retard in the Rose Bowl [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]
