Author Topic: Tim Tebow scores 22 on wonderlic test (Read 7433 times)

The heavily-guarded Wonderlic test scores from the NFL Scouting Combine have started to leak out. From the Twitter page of Palm Beach Post writer Edgar Thompson:

Gators QB Tim Tebow scored a 22 on his Wonderlic, Jimmy Clausen 23, Colt McCoy 25 and Sam Bradford 36 out of 50, per NFL source.

The Wonderlic, a timed, 50-question exercise, tests the aptitude of draft prospects. The official results of the tests are distributed by the NFL to the 32 teams after the combine, with scores occasionally leaking out. Other noteworthy QB scores that have been reported in the past: Ryan Fitzpatrick (Harvard) 49, QB Matthew Stafford (Georgia) 38, QB Mark Sanchez (28), Michael Vick (20) and Vince Young (15, after getting a 6 on first attempt).

I guess the "Wndrlic" is just a clever way for Owners, coaches, etc to cover their asses and not be called a blatant racist. Seriously, who wants a black QB in the NFL?

Worthless test. Dan Marino scored a 15 on his so that tells you a lot

yea it tells me he was never smart enough to go to a team with a chance to win the superbowl...

"Seriously, who wants a black QB in the NFL?"

agreed...

Marino never won a Super Bowl too.. I care a lot more about a qb's score on the wonderlic than i do in the 3 cone drill. point is scoring a 22 doesn't help his cause. at least we know he has slightly better decision making skills than your average security officer

is it pure coincidence that the bottom 2 scores are black guys?

dov · « **Reply #8 on:** March 11, 2010, 02:58:46 PM »

Marino didn't win shit! He was a wasted cokehead. Its easy to pad HOF stats on a shit team. Take look at top tier playoff teams and their QB's. Just an observation.

lol i'm sure the test is biased towards whites, maybe they should word the questions using ebonics

big L dawg · « **Reply #11 on:** March 11, 2010, 03:06:38 PM »

It is a timed test as well...tebow kept asking himself how would god answer this question...Had he just prayed for a better score before hand I'm sure he would have scored higher...

Does anyone know what Peyton Manning scored?

What did JeMarcus score on it?

I foresee at least one GB'r ending up in Timeout for racism! Lol

At the rate of the facts coming out showing major differences between scores of white and black QB's I would say yes. But like someone already said, it is probably a bias test geared towards the white players....

tebow is tough as a bag of rocks, and about as smart too.

He's a good kid, but just a little simple. In Florida, he had NFL quality receivers - he just had to toss the ball deep and his guy would always outjump the defender. Toss in the fact he always had a very good RB to run the ball, it left him wide open to knock over a guy or two and run in lots of TDs. He is religious and a great role model, so he got a lot of coverage - he's a winner at the college level.

He's trying hard, but he's probably just at the peak of his physical abilities. He's not quick enuogh to be a halfback at the pro level. He can't throw deep or accurate. He's very average at this point. Somebody should grab him and make him a safe 3rd string QB, holding a clipboard and giving fans somebody to yell for when the starter throws a pick.

I'm betting JAX in early 3rd round grabs him. Hometown hero that'll sell jerseys and tickets, even if he only plays scrub time.

think JR scored a 9 the first time he took it.. i went to school w/ JR and he would probably fail an eye exam if he had perfect vision

I don't know what the big deal is people. It's about the average score, some score higher, some lower. Take into consideration they have 50 questions and 12mins to do it in.

Is this a compulsory test, Coach!? If I'd played D1 ball, had my degree in hand and had a few teams offering me NFL cash, I'd tell them to go fark themselves.

That's my point, Coach. The NFL has some (psychological) mandate to issue IQ tests!?
