If they're not using the Wonderlic to test a player's ability to read, comprehend, react, etc, then why do they even bother giving them? For the fun of seeing who does well and who does poorly? They're obviously looking for SOMETHING by giving these tests.
And I never said that he'd be unable to read a playbook. I said that they'd have to limit the playbook that they presented to him. I wouldn't trust a QB that got a SIX on his Wonderlic to read & comprehend an NFL sized playbook with multiple reads & multiple audibles.
I should also admit that pretty much everything that I've posted in this thread is only regurgitated from what NFL writers were discussing on ESPN radio the other night (Monday). I agreed with them and believe what they're saying, but it's nothing that I've come up with on my own.
There was an error with the scoring and he had to retake it. He got a 16, which is average, so really that 6 is irrevelant.
Plus add in the factor, Young's agent never told him about the test, and never had him prepare for it.
Like I said in the previous post, McNair scored like a 12 on that test, and then the Houston Oilers GM had him take a test strickly about football(If your in this situation who would you throw to, and the fact of understanding a playbook and all that jazz), and he passed it with flying colors.
