2012 Wonderlic

[bleudog]

LSU's Morris Claiborne runs the 40 in 4.39. 

That's 0.39 more than his Wonderlic score.

Embarrassing to say the least.

Embarrassing but another reason why the media is full of a bunch of POS. They had no right doing that to that kid releasing his scores. Period.

[B. Kirk]

Embarrassing to say the least.

Claiborne has a documented learning disability that's he struggled with since elementary school.

You want to make fun of him because of that?

With that, Claiborne's agent should be embarrassed. 

Somebody got the kid thru public school.  Plenty of standardized tests there. 

Somebody got the kid admitted into LSU.  ACT minimums come to mind. 

Somebody kept Claiborne academically qualified to take the field on a NCAA team that played for a national championship.

Why didn't Cook figure out some way for his client to take the NFL test in a format that would allow it to properly measure what it's designed to measure.

He'll be a millionaire by the end of April. The wonderlic doesn't mean he can't defend, tackle or pick off passes. Terry Bradshaw scored 13 and no one is mad at him about it. They don't Bradshaws wonderlic score besides his SUPER BOWL rings or Hall of Fame bust.
If Morris were a heart surgeon I'd be worried. He plays football !

No doubt Claiborne is in line to make big bucks.  Still think his agent should have handled the learning disability situation better.  Who knows how much weight the GMs and coaches on a given NFL team put in the test?

To quote Kevin Seifert:  "I'm not going to draw any conclusions about these players' football intelligence, or lack thereof, based on Wonderlic scores. I encourage you to keep an open mind as well. But unless and until the NFL stops giving the Wonderlic test, we have to assume the scores will play some role in ranking and grading prospects."


Yeah HH, ol' TB turned in a pretty good career both on the field and in the studio.  But most folks give him credit for a 16 which is a little closer to the QB average.

I had a friend that made 8 on the ACT.  I wish I could get him to take this test to see if he could go lower than that 4.

He was stupid no matter how you define it.

Yes.  Right.  I knew that so I would make fun of him.  Give me a break.

[Brian G]

These diagnosed learning disabilities are getting on my nerves.  It's like all of these made up "rage defense's" in murder trials. (roid rage, PMS rage, middle child rage)

I mean it's okay to be stupid.  There always has been stupid people, there are now and will be in the future.  It's as if everything needs an excuse nowadays.  Just let them be dumb and don't label them with a disability.  They'll be alright.

Heck, I can tolerate them without regard to their socioeconomic status.  They're just like regular folk.

8 on the act? How? Even trying to fail and the average person (fastdrop) would get no worse than 10
Your friend must be an Auburn grad now

FD.   Your friend is talking about you again...lol.
