This year's wonderlic underachiever....

[WolverineSteve]

....is none other than Lord Tebow.


http://www.palmbeachpost.com/sports/gat ... 39371.html

Tebow graduated Florida with a 3.66 GPA as a Family, Youth and Community Services major, and he is a three-time member of the SEC Academic Honor Roll and a two-time First Team Academic All-American.

It would appear that the SEC is an academic meatgrinder as well.

22? Dude is some kind of super genius.

Vince Young = Einstein

9 out of 9 in just over a minute. There must be some harder questions in the full 50-question test.

[Moby Dick]

had a few questions from the wonderlic test on the local sports radio show this morning...one question was

"whats the 9th month in the year"

and another (para phrasing)

youre allowed 44,000 words in a magazine. Large typed you can have 20 pages small typed you can have 30 pages how many words per page can you have of thelarge type?

Not too difficult type of test.

Just head Bradford made a 34, McCoy 25 and of corse Pope Tebow the 22

We have a local sports hack talk show here in the morning. They try to be funny, they’re not. But they made me laugh this morning talking about the test results. Every time they mention “Tim Tebow” they queue up the theme song from Jesus Christ Superstar. Anybody know who they stole that from?

Nice academic program...right up there with all of the cultural studies and area studies bullshit that the universities have sopped to to enxpand enrollment and grant dollars and to raise tuition.

[Killian]

I had to take that test for two different jobs. You breeze through the first 10-15 questions, then they don't really get that much harder, just longer questions. For example, that one about the 44,000 words. Then there are others that will give you information that you don't need to solve the question. It's basically just sorting through the bullshit and picking out the info you need.

If it was untimed, I bet everyone on here would score in the 40's. It's the 12 minute part that is a bitch. It sneaks up on you. First time I took it, I got a 29. The second time I got a 37.

If they let him write some notes on his eye black, he would've done better...

One of the questions Tebow answered incorrectly:

Q: When receiving the football from under the center, this is known as a __________.

A: Abomination unto the Lord.

[Mr T]

Too bad circumcising young boys in third world countries, kissing dudes and avoiding beautiful women werent on the test.

The lisping wonder wouldve aced it.

[PSUFAN]

I guess he forgot to bring his prayer beads?

[TheJON]

Brad Banks scored a 9 on his. I couldn't believe he did that well.

Has there been any evaluation of actual NFL results against wonderlic test results?

A sampling from the article....

While Tebow's score of 22 would place him in a tie for 25th with Brett Favre and Chad Henne among starting NFL quarterbacks, the score likely won't affect Tebow's draft status nearly as much as his passing ability will.

The NFL is littered with mediocre quarterbacks who scored well (Ryan Fitzpatrick 48, Alex Smith 40, Matt Leinart 35) and star quarterbacks who scored poorly (Donovan McNabb 14, Dan Marino 15, Jim Kelly 15, Daunte Culpepper 18).

From another article....

Michael Vick - 20
Marcus Vick - 11
Steve Young - 33
Drew Brees - 28
Tom Brady - 33
Chad Pennington - 25 (Remember, Pennington was once a finalist for the Rhodes Scholarship. Yikes.)
Drew Bledsoe - 37
Donovan McNabb - 14
David Garrard - 14
Dan Marino - 16
Eli Manning - 39
Jeff George - 10
Vince Young - allegedly got a 6, then retested and got a 15
Chris Leak - 8
John Elway - 30
Brett Favre - 22

But back to the 2009 class.

Also scoring well on the Wonderlic was Maryland cornerback Kevin Barnes, who scored a 41. I just wish that Rhodes Scholar winner Myron Rolle, who put the NFL on hold to go to Oxford next year, had taken the Wonderlic. He might pull a Kevin Curtis on it if he ever takes it (Curtis scored a 48). By the way, Pat McInally, a graduate of Harvard University who played wide receiver and punted for the Bengals, is the only football player to record a confirmed perfect score of 50.

Now let's get to the dumbasses. There are a lot more of those.

Seems the wide receiving corps is especially stupid this year. Michael Crabtree of Texas Tech scored a 15, Darrius Heyward-Bey of Maryland scored a 14, and Percy Harvin of Florida scored a 12. Not real good. But don't worry, there was someone who was worse. Hakeem Nicks of UNC wowed everyone with an 11. A score of 10 suggests a person is literate, so at least all of the receivers can read this, I hope.

By the way, Jeremy Maclin of Missouri scored a 25, so he's like the Einstein of this year's receiving corps.

A few other fools include linebacker Rey Maualuga, who scored a 15, and O-lineman Andre Smith, who continued his epic draft stock slide by posting a 17.

Here are a few other scores for some of 2009's top prospects.

Arizona's Eben Britton - 31
Virginia's Eugene Monroe - 24
Baylor's Jason Smith - 23
Ole Miss's Michael Oher - 19
USC's Clay Matthews - 27
USC's Brian Cushing - 23
Western Michigan's Louis Delmas - 12

The lowest score we know of remains Nicks, but so far it seems only Wonderlic scores for top prospects are out. I'm sure someone scored below a 10 this year. By the way, in case you were wondering, the lowest score ever on the Wonderlic came courtesy of Darren Davis, a running back from Iowa State who scored a 4.

If we find out about any players who are illiterate from this year's draft class, we'll be sure to let you know.

[Dinsdale]

Not real good...

illiterate

Priceless.

RACK!

I literally laughed out loud. Damn!
