Looks Like Young Might Ride The Short Bus

  1. My point is that it leaked out (not a pun... really...) that he had violated the substance abuse policy and we know he failed a test. This despite the fact that the NFL doesn't release such info (like the wonderlic results).

    Charlie Casserly, Houston Texans GM, at the podium behind myself and Matt right now. One of the first questions? Did Vince Young really score a six on the Wonerlic?

    According to Casserly, who referred to a 'reliable source,' it's a definite no. Young did not score a six on the Wonderlic.

    So that's the latest.

    Looks like it's an attempt to make Vince look bad.
     
  3. Man, he couldn't even score a 6? It's even worse than we thought... :ha:

    I thought the NFL had released that info. I found this just now:

    "Two different news sources are reporting that Dolphins running back Ricky Williams has failed a drug test, though team and league officials have not confirmed the reports."

    Now it's looking like it may have been a mistake. Sheesh.

    "Houston Texans general manager Charley Casserly said at the NFL Combine Sunday, Feb. 26, he had heard about Texas QB Vince Young's score on the Wonderlic test. He also said he heard from a good source that the test results were inaccurate. 'Yes, I have been told it was inaccurate, by a source good enough for me to stand up here and quote it. Otherwise I wouldn't get up here and just say it,' said Casserly."

    And the same BS rag which "broke" the story now says it was a mistake.

    The funny thing is Florio claimed the Tennessean "corroborated the reports" when it only said "word outside began to spread that Young scored a six on the Wonderlic test given to prospects."

    This is getting weird. You can't mess up grading a Wonderlic and definately not in a way that yields a score of 6. Secondly I'm assuming the recycle the test for several of the athlestes, and if it was a problem with the test others should have had low numbers too.

    If he does not care about the wonderlic, how many things does he care about than the dollar signs?
    The score would give me serious pause to picking him third....at the least it means he does not take things seriously when he cannot see the value in them....you do have to do more in the nfl at that position that run well and throw from strange side arm motions.

    I'm sure a lot will come out on this tomorrow but it appears everyone in that group was scored wrong.
