Wonderlic This!

Does Vince Young have the brain to play QB in the NFL? I'd love to get our resident Football coaches' (Goose, Train & Jimbo) opinions on the Wonderlic test. Word is that Vince Young bombed his Wonderlic test. Rumor had Young scoring a 6 on the test. To me, bottomline is that Vince Young is a phenomenal athlete who has a funky arm slot and throwing motion -- but nonetheless is a true leader. And probably more improtant, a winner.

For those who don't have Insider, apparently the results of his first test haven't been confirmed -- and combine officials have said the score of 6 was wrong -- plus, ESPN.com's John Clayton reported that Young scored a 16 on his second try (something his agent also confirmed) and Young is expected to take it a third time (maybe he's never heard Yoda's "try" speech before). According to the article, the results of that test will not be released to NFL teams until next week, so it remains completely speculation at this point.


"The combine officials assured us that score (6) was false and that the accurate score will be known when the combine results are given to each team," Young's agent, Major Adams, said.

Scouts Inc. is reporting that the highest Wonderlic score registered at last year's scouting combine was a 40 (QB Alex Smith) and the lowest score was a 6 (RB Frank Gore). Scouts Inc. was also told by an NFL scout that the other two top quarterbacks this year fared much better on this test, with USC's Matt Leinart scoring a 35 (at the combine) and Vanderbilt's Jay Cutler scoring a 29 (in a test given prior to the combine). So the question is this -- if you were an NFL GM on the clock -- would you take Young over Leinart or Cutler?
