To put those scores in perspective, the Post compared Wonderlic numbers of run-of-the-mill NFL quarterbacks such as Alex Smith (40) and Matt Leinart (35) to those of Pro Football Hall of Famers Dan Marino and Jim Kelly (both 15) and an established star such as Donovan McNabb (14) of the Philadelphia Eagles.

BTW if you don't read the article, Bradford scored a 36, McCoy a 25 and Tebow a 22.

I think this is hilarious because when Vince Young scored bad on this test people ripped him a new one!

Now we have Tim Tebow, the man amongst men, score bad and now the test becomes pointless and irrelevant. Some people I jus dont understand!

:thinking:

Are you comparing VY's 6 to Tebow's 22?

Besides, it's a timed test, Tebow had to ask after every question "what would Jesus do?"...lol...he ran short on time...lol

whether or not that comment was directed towards me, i have never paid attention to the wonderlic test. i can't stand tebow, but realize this test will have no affect on how he plays in the NFL (you don't even have to take the wonderlic to be on special teams) :D

I am not comparing the two by any means score wise! But its the principle of the matter i am questioning.

And I am not talking about just people on the DL, I was speaking of people in general because I have some friends that ripped VY and now they are complete opposite on the matter.

I'm a fan of VY, his score of 6 is terrible. It does make him look like an idiot. You can't deny that.

Yeah I would agree, I really don't think a wonderlic could have anything to do with ability on the field. Some people are football smart but aren't very smart otherwise.

there were just as many people trying to come to VY's defense when he scored a 6, a score that a fifth grader could have probably beat

So that excuse is okay now because its Tim Tebow? Why wasn't it when it was Vince?

6


IMO, if 22 is below average, 6 is downright, well....pathetic.

wonderlic is a joke, many players past and present have said that they go into a wonderlic without a care in the world and just blew it off

All 329 NFL prospects at the combine took the Wonderlic aptitude test... 50 questions in 12 minutes. The average score was 20. The average QB scores 24. Colt McCoy scored 25--the second highest among quarterbacks. The highest? Bradford at 35. Jimmy Clausen from Notre Dame scored 23. Tebow scores a 22.... you're making a mountain out of a molehill. Question is not whether he has the intelligence to play QB in the NFL (he does)--question is whether he can transition to playing under center and change up his quirky throwing mechanics. Nothing new here to see here folks. Now move on please... :rolleyes:

Probably because you're jealous of Vince's score...
