    ...

    Only other QB to ever score that low was Oscar Davenport, who ended up pumping gas after leaving UNC.

    He shaped right up, though, when he moved in with Tony Randall.

    Anybody ever seen the questions or a sample? Are they multiple choice?

    Yes they are multiple choice questions. I saw in another Vince thread with a sample wonderlic test. They are not easy but even a retard could easily get more than 6 of 50 right.

    Got all 15 right but I have an advanced degree in statistics. Most of these were pretty simple. If you can't get six correct you're really not too bright. Six out of 50 makes you extremely uneducated. The only ones that should be a challenge are 11-13.

    Vince Young will be a solid WR if people just cut the BS

    how so? he has never shown anything, even as a great running QB, that would ever make me believe he has the burst of speed or route running ability to be a NFL receiver.

    Did a few calculations. Assuming 50 multiple choice questions with five possible answers, the probability of getting more than six correct just by guessing is approximately 90%.

    there are plenty of college receivers with his speed that have a vast more amount of receiving experience but who lack the ability to be NFL receivers. I am curious what receiving skills Vince Young has shown you to have that they do not that makes you think he will be a solid NFL receiver.

    COMBINE OFFICIALS RE-CHECKING YOUNG'S TEST?



    There's talk around Indy that the combine folks are taking a closer look at the score of six generated by Texas quarterback Vince Young on the Wonderlic test.



    They're supposedly checking to see whether Young's incomprehensibly low marks might be the result of errors made by Young in answering the questions.



    But if this is true, isn't answering the questions properly part of getting the answers right? And understanding how to take the test and answer the questions is a big part of what a seasoned agent can teach the guy.



    Even if the combine folk find that there was some sort of a problem with Young's answers, and that he actually got more than six right, we're not quite sure what will happen. We've never heard of this kind of thing before. Then again, we've never heard of such a high-profile quarterback generating such a bad result.

    If you want to try a six minute version of the Wonderlic, you can find it at this site, but you have to register (free and immediate)

    I got a 28, but skipped some of the more time consuming math problems, which was a mistake, because I had time left when I finished. This was more difficult than the supposed "sample" by ESPN, but still.... if you can't score a ten, you have serious problems.

    Whatever, the point I was trying to make is that I don't see him as a succesful QB.

    Is anyone else now officially pissed at Justin Miller for returning that kickoff in the last game against the Bills back for a TD to seal that meaningless game? I thought then that it would come back to haunt us because that victory moved us from picking 3rd to picking 4th.

    no. I only concern myself with what is, not what could have been.

    Your mother and I had such high hopes for you. Where did we go wrong?

    Wrong. He got a 13.

    Lowest I've ever seen was a 3 from a DE drafted by the Ravens in the 5th round in 2004.

    I have. Yes, you're pressed for time. That's what these tests are about. Time management. I can understand missing a few questions out of 50 because you're pressed for time. Scoring single digits...

    Then again, I'd like to wait for confirmation on this. I'm hesitant to believe Florio.
