this is why many of us looked at Lamar’s Wonderlic score and thought he’d fail in NFL. Happy to be wrong.



Lamar Jackson had a Wonderlic score of 13 which is comparable to Jim Kelly (15), Randall Cunningham (15), Steve McNair (15), Terry Bradshaw (15), and Donovan McNabb (14), all of whom were very successful NFL QBs. Vince Young had a Wonderlic score of 6 which is one of the lowest Wonderlic scores ever for a player at any position. The two aren't even in the same spectrum in terms of intelligence.

This honestly makes me sad for the guy. Huge fall from grace. Was talented as anyone ever but has the mental capacity of a brick.

How hard is it to pay your damn storage fees? I have some shite I keep in a storage unit and I just have autopay set up on my CC.

1. Why the hell would you store really cool/valuable shite in some random shitty storage unit? Seems just like an inherently bad place to store anything of significant value.

2. Why the hell are you not paying the fees? I know athletes finances are probably a mess and it's hard to keep track of something like that, but surely it's linked to some credit card or some checking account draft or something?

Vince Young was good at running with a football.

He's proven to be less than impressive in all other functions.

Went to the NFL at the wrong time. Back when he played coaches didn’t cater to your strengths like they do in today’s NFL with Lamar Jackson and Kyler Murray.

Vince Young isn't Kyler Murray and he isn't Lamar Jackson.

Would feel bad to win something like that.
I would at least offer it back to Young for something reasonable before throwing it on the memorabilia market.

6 is easily sub-literate. Morris Clairborne and Frank Gore have learning disabilities and scored in that range. Also remember when Texas thought they had the moral highground over Nebraska b/c they said no to prop 48 qualifiers?

Didn't Vince get fired from a 6 figure job from UT that basically required him to do nothing?

Yeah, Vince got fired from that cush UT job. He probably does have issues that he needs help with. Was basically a do nothing job that paid 150,000 dollars a year

The way I understand it, he was paid $150k a year to show up a few times a week at fundraisers and shake hands, but he never showed up for anything.

According to the lucky unit winner ... she only paid a few thousand dollars for the semi-blind auction back in November -- and was pretty surprised at the haul that she got for the cash. Currently, she's only listed Young's Maxwell Award, his Rose Bowl MVP trophy and his Manning Award for sale ... with the asking price of $50,000 for each on eBay.


All jokes aside, I just couldn’t do this to someone.. not saying she’s wrong or anything, I just couldn’t do that to a guy

Word on the street here in Houston was Purple Drank and strip clubs. Money drained like a bath tub.

A good example to show someone who may he confused by the difference in ethics and morality.

Lmao you're still convinced that those three are the same QB just bc they're black. I'd put $100 on your own Wonderlic not hitting double digits
