QB rumors

[The_Phinatic]

Jets are interested in a trade with the Skins for Ramsey.  This would be great IMO because he ain't all that and this would keep them from drafting Cutler.

Lions may be interested in Brees despite the vote of confidence for Harrington.  This would be great too because then Cutler would drop even more.  Well, this is good unless you want 6'0" Brees to be our QB.

I'd love nothing more than to see a domino-effect series of FA QB signings force Cutler down in the draft, but I just don't see him dropping all the way to 16. Not with the way he's handling all his pre-draft prep work. Showing up everywhere, doing anything the coaches ask of him, as well as impressing them with his QB skills. Guys like that usually don't slide too far unless there is a medical red flag attached, and Cutler doesn't have any of those that I know of.

Maybe Saban can find a not-too-expensive deal to bump up 3-4 slots?

Yeah, I think it would take a move up, but the less a move it is the better chance of it happening.  If the Jets and Lions pass on him then Arizona is the biggest risk at taking him.  If they pass, the Dolphins could attempt a trade with Cleveland and grab Cutler at the #12 spot before the Ravens get a shot.  If the Ravens pass he could fall to Miami at #16.  The Ravens want a RB pretty bad.

Judging from the reports I've read, Cutler has done extremely well at the combine so far. Not likely he'll fall much.

Vince Young scored a 6(!!!) on his Wonderlic, removing any hint of controversy from Houston's decision. A few more misteps and we could have a shot at headbutt2.

What's a good score on a wonderlic test?

What's a good score on a wonderlic test?

Without exagerration, a score of 10 would make you almost retarded. The first 5 questions read something like this "If paints costs $.10 a gallon, how much would 6 gallons of paint cost?". Again, that's not an exagerration.

What's a good score on a wonderlic test?

20 is supposedly average. Only 4 current starting QBs got Wonderlic scores below that. None got scores below 14 (J.P. Losman).

So a 6 either means you're a complete moron - or he's such a big star in his own head that he didn't feel a need to prepare or even do much when the time came.

FYI, the Wonderlic test consists of 50 questions that you get 12 minutes to answer. As for Edgecrusher's example, that's actually harder than the first questions on the real test (I saw one a couple of years ago). They get harder, of course, but the real bitch is the time limit. With less than 15 seconds per question, the best tactic for most people is to just skip a question if the wording doesn't make it completely clear, instantly, what they're asking (as always, test questions can sometimes be a bit convoluted).

I don't believe it's possible to score a 6 without being, litterally, retarded. (Or having never had any education, which clearly isn't the same - for college athletes, however...)

I have heard this a few times on NFL Radio today, although they now said there was a possible scoring error. Wouldn't it be funny if after they correct the scoring error, his score was actually lower? HAHAHA

Also, heres some sample questions from ESPN.com:

I scored a 37 on the Wonderlic the one time I took it.

That wouldn't be good for you.  If the Jets don't take D'Brick, he's all for the Niners.

How far will Marcus Vick fall until someone is willing to take a chance with him? I haven't watched much college ball, so I'm wondering how good the guy is? From what I've seen of him, I really wouldn't be too worried about his off-field problems. He's been stupid, no question there, but much of it (everything that was proven) has been pretty low-grade stuff. Typical college stuff. Not smart for an NFL prospect, but not too serious either.

Of course, if he doesn't have the on-field skills...

[Predatory_Fins]

man if vince is that stupid I'd hate to see little mexicos score

You call pulling a gun on teenagers low-grade, you call his fondness of underage girls low-grade? Wow.

[TonyB0D]

yeah FYO, he pulled a gun on some peeps.  i don't blame him for the underage girls....he was like 19 or so, and they were liek 15 or 16.....theres really nothing wrong with that these days...
