Damn, just...damn. Per PFT.com

VINCE IS STOOPID?

A league source tells us that there's a rumor making the rounds at the combine that Texas quarterback Vince Young scored a miserably horrible six on the Wonderlic test.

A six! That's bad. It's beyond bad. In fact, it's the lowest score that we can ever remember hearing anyone getting.

All incoming NFL players take a 50-question version of the Wonderlic, with a 12-minute window within which to finish it.

We found 15 sample Wonderlic questions on ESPN.com's page 2, including such brain-benders as selecting the ninth month of the year from among five possible choices. We'd like to think that most people of average intelligence could get at least six of the 15 sample questions right.

Getting a total of only six out of a total of 50 questions of that same kind is pa-freakin'-thetic. For a guy who's going to be called upon to read defenses and call audibles and work through a progression of receivers against NFL-caliber opposition, it's downright scary.

The source tells us that he hasn't seen the result in writing yet, but that he's "99 percent" certain that Young's score was six.

Said the source, who knows a thing or two about evaluating college players:

"I predict he'll fall all the way out of the first round."

That's a bold statement, and we're not saying that we agree with it -- primarily because our guess is that there's someone almost dumb enough to get a six on the Wonderlic, who'll overlook Young's low score along with any other concerns that might come to light over the next two months.

UPDATE: The score has been confirmed, per PFT.

None too surprising, as VY doesn't exactly come off as Rhodes Scholar material in interviews. :hihi:

NLMD predicts that this guy would also get a 6 on the Wonderlic.

Vince's stock was already dropping - this is really going to hurt him unless he can retake it and do much better.

And Matt Leinart is depressed with the news that he'll be the Saints new QB. Get ready to play in Tiger Stadium this fall, son!

I don't know about that. A Wonderlic score like Vince's is sure to intrigue Saints management.

I think he is going to be a bust anyway. He runs well but how many running QB,s have won super bowl latley. I would defiently take Leinert before him. But Im glad Young had the Rose Bowl game he had, that was unbelivable. I just dont see him being a great pro.

I want the Saints to draft Leinart. That way we can ruin his career
