Since I assume everyone who reads NC also watches ESPN, minus the ladies (all 7 of you) I know you've seen how ESPN has been talking about the potential NFL QBs wonderlic scores. A few years ago they made a huge deal about Vince Young's wonderlic score because he did so poorly on it. Now, everyone says that these tests don't matter, which I think everyone agrees with, but if that's the case, why the hell does ESPN feel the need to cover this? Vince Young got ripped apart after his score came out. It was debated and talked about for an entire week on all of those ESPN shows. Well Vince Young proved to everyone that the wonderlic test was pointless by winning the Rookie Of The Year.
Now, Tim Tebow (22) did the worst out of Jimmy Clausen (24), Colt McCoy (25), and Sam Bradford (36). The test is out of 50 if you didn't know, and you have 12 minutes to complete it. I have to admit, I was pretty surprised that Tebow scored the lowest on this test. I figured he would've crushed the test since he has nothing really distracting him since he doesn't drink or bang chicks, but I guess he was too busy loving Jesus.
Look, I know a lot of people despise Tebow, like Spaniard, but I personally don't mind him. I figured since he was one of the best, if not the best college football player I'd ever seen, I mine as well appreciate what he did on the field, and not really care about what he did off the field. Regardless of your thoughts on Tebow, you have to be surprised, like I am, that he did poorly on the wonderlic. I think I know why he did so poorly though. A buddy of mine was texting me today about this very topic and he made a great point on why Tebow did so bad. He said that a sample question on the test would be "If there were 5 boys and 4 girls at a party and 3 get kissed, how many didn't get kissed?" Tebow's answer would've been "Who cares, they're all going hell!" This answer though is probably far better than any of Vince Young's. I assume one of his answers to a simple question like "Your car gets 25 miles to the gallon and you put 10 gallons in your car. How far can you go?" would have been "hot dog." Also, if you want to see how you match up with all of these guys scores, here's a sample Wonderlic test. Enjoy.
