    A 6 on the wonderlic is pathetic!!

    To quote a scout if this is true Young could even fall to the Lions or Cardinals and Cutler could pass him up as the #2 QB prospect.

    The test is very easy. It's a middle school test pretty much.

    My question is this though.

    Did Young just not care about the test and come there all cocky? I mean you get 1 point for signing your name. That means he got 5/49 questions right. That's horrible.

    My other question is. If it is indeed true is it very significant.

    Remember one of the questions on him is whether he can learn a pro playbook and this certainly doesn't help his cause.

    Chris Gamble got a like a 5 on the wonderlic, but i think he did that on purpose to land to a good team.

    QB's, OL, LB, & Safeties are supposed to be the real brain boxes on the field or so I read.

    If its the same playbook as Michael Vick then yeah sure.

    Here's something to keep in mind. Mike Vick scored in the 20's.

    I don't think it's as easy as you make it out to be. If I'm not mistaken over 30 is rare and excellent as well.

    This was meant to mock the Falcons Offensive philosophy & not the intelligence of the most exciting player in football.

    A 6 is pathetic though. Pathetic!!

    Aaron Brooks scored a 15 and it dropped his status to maybe a late 2nd early 3rd rounder to a 4th round pick. It's not that hard of a test. Here's some sample qustions: http://espn.go.com/page2/s/closer/020228test.html

    It's also been confirmed by it's source.

    I got 13 out of 15 which equates to a 43.

    I'd like to see BF1 top that. LOL.

    I missed questions 6 & 11. It bothers me that I missed #11. As for #6, I never have had decent spatial skills.

    Big twist to the story. Apparently they are regrading certaing groups test and Young's in one of the group. Young did indeed score a 6 but apparently there was a mix up with the answer key. So the combine pretty much messed up and they're going to regrade the tests with the correct key.

    15 of 15 and it only took about 2:30 to finish....if thats an accurate representaion of the Wonderlic, I have no idea how NFL players arent scoring off the chart....on a side note, ive had some practice taking those types of tests, becauce the Madden Wonderlic is very similar, amazingly so....

    The average for Joe fan is 21. So far, everyone here is in the 40's.
