im sure somebody reaches on him even if this is true but no way somebody who scores a 6 will ever be a nfl qb

It that doesnt make him a LOCK to be a NEW ORLEANS SAINT nothing else will !!

I got 12 out of 15 on espn's sample questions, and I am still ashamed. Half of them are complete no brainers. And I mean that you don't even need a brain to get it. Vince Young must have been drunk or on drugs when taking that test. :lolBIG:

That would make him about twice as smart as Aaron Brooks (current Saints QB).

COunt me as someone that has no interest in vince young on my team. He throws side arm and doesnt seem to have a ton of zip.

Anyone who's done GCSE Maths/Logic should be able to get 10, A-Level maths/logic 15 on that test...

You only need paper for two of them -- 11 and 13..

That would make it the all time low, which I think was an 8...

Another Vick or Culpepper

He wasn`t drunk OR high just stupid!! Listen to him sometime. Some of these guys can`t articulate their own ideas let alone opine or discuss anyone else`s. HTF did they even get out of HS? Where can you see an example of the test?

Silver,

They have 15 sample questions posted in that link provided by Funkyc.

From the link:

"We printed out the 15 sample questions that we posted on Saturday, and we asked Florio Jr. (who is in the third grade and whose class has yet to delve into the multiplication tables) to sit down and give the thing a try. We gave him five minutes, which admittedly is a slightly greater questions-per-minute average than the NFL types get to answer 50.

Florio Jr. got five of them right.

Five out of 15 for a third-grader. Six out of 50 for a guy who attended multiple years of college, without failing out.

One reader suggested to us that Young's low score suggests that he might have a learning disability. That's fine, but how does a guy with such a disability remain academically eligible at a major institution like the University of Texas?"

If the story is true it makes you wonder how he even got out of Junior High or High School.

:smoking:

If Young fails at QB, I am sure Brian Billisck would hire him.

He's got the 1st quality - stupid. Now all he needs is an assualt conviction or a felong drug dealing charge and he is a LOCK for the Ravens secondary.

Almost positive Najae Davenport (GB RB) had a 2 or a 3.

Yeah I just read somewhere that someone got a one, so my earlier post was innacurate.

A score of 10 or lower is considered equivalent to an IQ of 70...moderately retarded.

Isn't Davenport the infamous "closet crapper" from a few years back?

TTinCO · Feb 26, 2006

This is nothing new. Hell, there was a basketball player at Creighton years ago who later admitted that he couldn't even read!!!! I think he may have even graduated (and Creighton is no Fresno State.....).

A fried of mine took "Consumer Sciences" as an elective at Nebraska. Classic football player class that was basically a semester of teaching them how to balance a checkbook.

Don't kid yourself-this goes on all over the place, and probably to a much greater degree than we realize.

There are so many guys on the Cane's that I watch and think "How in the hell is that guy passing physics or calculus, when they can barely stumble through a post-game interview?"
