[Official] Reggie Bush or Someone else -- Vince Young out of running

I should admit that I also wear it while performing certain...activities..of a sensual nature...ON MY WIFE!!!!!!

MATRIMOWNAGE!

 

Why don't you put it on the Vince Young blow- up doll. That would be cool also.

 

Just wanted to share this:

"We originally thought quite highly of Young, who ran a seemingly complicated offense at Texas," said Houston Texans general manager Charley Casserly. "He had all the tools needed to score well on a standardized test in this league. Vince's completion percentage got higher every year, he was good at picking up the blitzes, and his ability to organize an audible at the line of scrimmage was unequaled in college ball. But his inability to answer story problems, diagram sentences, and solve simple geometric equations makes us wonder if he's really as smart on the field as he's been playing."

There's supposedly an article on insider that says Cutler's performance at the senior bowl and the combine were overblown.

 

you know this is a joke right?

 

Why would The Onion of all publications make light of such a serious situation?

 

This thread jumped the shark after about page 56.

 

What are you talking about? The Onion is a legit site that has insiders everywhere.

plus the onion's not even funny.

if you want real sports humor

try thebrushback.com or sportsgoons.com

much better than the **** the onion comes up with

 

The onion is pretty focking funny, unless you're a conservative.

 

yeah at about 50 pages back i asked if this was the longest thread ever at clutchcity/fans.

i dont think if that game was half as good as it was then this thread wouldnt be quite so long. i watched it on dvd tonight at a friends and i was still getting chills. damn good game

VINCE'S "REAL" SCORE ON FIRST WONDERLIC

A league source tells us that, indeed, Texas quarterback Vince Young's Saturday Wonderlic was re-scored due to a grading error.

And the "real" score was higher than the six that spread through the scouting combine like a flash fire in a balsa wood factory.

But before Vince or agent Major Adams or Longhorns coach Mack Brown uncork the bubbly, the "real" score doesn't quite grant Young unfettered access to the next annual meeting of Mensa.

After further review, he got a seven.

We'd previously questioned the reasoning behind declaring the Saturday report erroneous due to a scoring error, and then giving him the test again on Sunday. Common sense suggests that, if everything is on the up-and-up at the combine, they merely would re-score the first test.

Now, it all makes sense.

Published reports indicate that Young had received no preparation for the Wonderlic, and that he had no idea he'd be expected to take it at the combine. We reported on Thursday that Adams had been offered sample copies of the test in order to get Vince ready, but that Adams brushed off the possibility of allowing Vince to go to school on a test that might be a good indicator of whether he ever actually went to school.

VINCE GOT A DO-OVER, LITERALLY

Here's the last thing we'll say on the Vince Young Wonderlic fiasco . . . at least until we pick up some more information about it.

A league source tells us that Young's do-over actually was a do-over.

In other words, he got the same version of the test on Sunday that he had taken on Saturday.

There are multiple versions of the Wonderlic. We've heard the NFL uses five or six; we've seen in print somewhere that there are as many as 18.

But Vince somehow pulled the same version on Sunday that he'd seen on Saturday.

Look, we're not in the business of sticking our fingers square in the eye of the NFL. We love pro football, and we've been loyal followers of the NFL for decades. So since that whole "if you express legitimate dissent then you hate America" thing has not yet migrated to pro sports, we feel free to reiterate that, if Young indeed got to take the same version of the Wonderlic on Sunday that he'd seen on Saturday, then this whole thing stinks to the highest levels of heaven.

In our opinion, there's ample proof here of a clumsy cover up that had more to do with mollifying Mack Brown and less to do with preserving the draft standing of Young. And the reason for it, in our opinion, is to help the major colleges continue to push through the Dexter Manleys of the world, who somehow can be on track to graduate from a university without being able to read or to write.

The sad truth is that college football isn't about the college, but about the football. These institutions make millions off of the toil and risks and the sometimes pretty faces of a bunch of guys who get pennies on the dollar in comparison to the revenue they generate.

Yeah, they get a free education. But maybe 10 percent of them ever even would have wanted that education.

And what is education without accountability? As we've all heard over the years, student-athletes get plenty of "special treatment" in order to stay north of a 2.0 (or whatever the minimum GPA is).

So the schools have little reason to change the guys who don't, never did, and never will want to learn. They need to enable them in order to ensure that they will be eligible.

Part of the enabling includes having coaches who will scream and shout whenever there's objective evidence, such as Young's initial Wonderlic result, which might fuel the perception that many of these guys aren't going to class, aren't studying, and aren't learning.

Clutch should put a ban on these like he does on rumors from the various NBA sites (he does that, right?).

But, at least the haters get to bust a nut again.

 

that article is serious garbage. profootball talk in general is garbage. league source = ballboy.

 

Didn't profootballtalk.com break the story about VY before anyone else?

 

He had a low score on every account.

Let's move on. High scores might not translate into a successful career either.

 

I don't think so. That KingCheetah, he really just latches on to stuff and won't let go sometimes, like a cheetah attacking its prey (not just any cheetah, the actual KING of cheetahs). He's a good guy, but frankly is sometimes a bit dense for my taste.

 

A poster from nfldraftcountdown.com message boards posted something I thought makes a lot of sense.

A scout from Sporting News Radio said that he wouldn't be surprised if Charlie Casserly leaked the test information to take the pressure off taking Vince Young number 1. Vince Young is just to raw to be taken number one overall or even in the top 5. He has more upside than any other QB in the draft, but is very rare red raw. He probably should have stayed in college for another year.

I could see Casserly doing something like this.

 

Maybe, or it could have been other teams wanting to see him drop so they could pick him up later. Who knows.
