Default Vince Young scores 6 more points

This dude, I hope it was a mistake, but damn he scored a 6 out of a possible 40 on the worldlic test. (Quarterbacks should be scoring at least a 30 or more). Any comments???


BTW, Mr. Young is the NCAA Football Champion for the Texas Longhorns, who has a No. 1 draft spot

Those were rumors he scored a 6 however he did score a 16 while the other projected 1st and 2nd round picks were all in the 30's. My opinion is everybody is making this a way bigger deal then necessary because he can still play football and he will still get picked in the top 5.

I think all the heat should be on Texas University. How do you graduate from a big time college and not be able to answer these questions?

What kind of "tests" are done here? Is it thorwing, or running, or defence reading skills? How are the points earned?

No matter what he scores, you can't argue the fact that he had an awesome year. It's hard to talk down about this guy when you watched what he did on the feild last year.

Here ya go Justin, try it out for yourself. ESPN has a sample of the test setup on their website. http://espn.go.com/page2/s/closer/020228test.html

So that's a sample of the test that they are worried about? Hell, on that test I only missed one.

I was thinking it was some kind of football skills test.

Yup, supposedly that's an example of it. If the test Vince Young took was that easy, I can see what all the fuss would be about him getting a 6 on it.

Yeah, the kid can play, but that doesn't stop him from being dumber than a rock.

I think he'll be outside the top five. This situation has hurt his stock, that and not working out at the combine.

I agree. I think he's going to fall to Oakland at the 7 spot.

I wouldn't pick him. The quaterback position is the most important position to need someone is intellectually superior to his peers on the team. This will make the guys transition rough as hell. Bench rider for years till he understands it. Nowdays they want their rookie QBs to hop in in a season or two. He doesn't have what it takes.(PERIOD)

I just saw sportscenter tonight and a guy was making draft predictions and he had Young down at #3 for the Tennesse Titans.. if so I guess im gona learn how to like this guy not that I don't.... Still any 1st round pick is impressive to me, i'd expect alot of any of the first rounders.

Actually I don't think not showing up at the combine will hurt him. ESPN radio made a good comment about him and Reggie not showing up. They at this point have nothing to prove. They know they are golden. Their agents probably told them NOT to go because they didn't want to hurt their stock in getting a top pick by finding a weakness that maybe someone overlooked previously.

Actually in Vince Young's case it has because Jay Cutler from Vanderbilt lit it up at the combine and now there's talk that he may be taken ahead of Vince Young.
