Ramius Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 This would be useful if thw wonderlic actually meant anything. But it doesnt. It's not a test of intelligence or smarts. It does nothing but test how well you take the wonderlic.
San Jose Bills Fan Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 Who cares? He's a cornerback, not a QB or Center or MLB, who makes calls or adjustments. As long as he runs a 4.4 and can cover the other teams best receiver, I'll take him on my team all day. McKelvin's 13 looks outright Ivy League. I dunno, BlackMamba. Scoring that low on the exam raises a red flag for me. Think of some of the stupid decisions McKelvin has made. Now consider that Claiborne's score was one-third of McKelvin's and the fact that McKelvin scored poorly. If I'm evaluating Claiborne, I'm concerned.
Deep2Moulds46 Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 This is the kind of guy who shows up to the stadium on Sunday, but by the time he gets there he forgets he has a game
NoSaint Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 I don't disagree, but there is a huge difference between having a reading disability and being dumb/lazy. I'd like to know more about this kid's background before I jump on the "You gots a 4, lolz!" bandwagon. But save me a seat, just in case. I guess what I was getting at is either way, actually disabled or not, it's not that funny. Being a college student that canr read goes beyond lazy (assuming that's the issue). The failures on so many levels (himself included) would be huge, assuming its not a really bad disability. Even if it is, to seemingly not have it addressed at all is.... Sad, not lolz, either way
Beerball Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 Different guy. If I remember right this guy was the honey badger before the honey badger was the honey badger. It's in an old thread authored by a reputable poster so you can search it out if you want to.

jr1 Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 They gave him credits for watching Mob Wives and Jersey Shore
Robchester Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 Does this mean he won't be able to play chess with Fitzy on road trips?
atlbillsfan1975 Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 just afraid of another McKelvin, who's not the brightest..... Exactly, great skills but doesn't comprehend where his teammates are. I am sorry but you should be a complete player for your position if you are selected in the top 10. Rewarding someone who did not try sends a bad message to the rest of the players in H.S and College.
Alaska Darin Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 Nothing better than an SEC classroom education.
Turbosrrgood Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 (edited) Wow...so in addition to having a torn-up wrist and being a bit on the slow side physically (ranked 10th among CBs in the 40 at NFL combine), dude's pretty stupid too. That's an understatement. As others have noted just randomly selecting answers should produce something better than a 4. Agree though, I'm not usually a numbers guy, but everything points to him being a very risky selection. No way this guy graduates HS, let alone college with out some serious "help" due to his athletics. On the other hand, maybe this is a plus. He is obviously mentally handicapped in a significant way, yet he must be a hard worker to have overcome that to this point. Edited April 3, 2012 by Turbosrrgood
Dopey Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 Relax guys, he didn't use a #2 pencil. Honest mistake.
NoSaint Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 I don't think it's multiple choice, at least not the same number of choices for each question. The example questions in the link provided seem to show that. Right but 1/5 for 20 questions is a 4

truth on hold Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 (edited) Revis 10, AJ green 9, Patrick Peterson 10 ... So scores in that range don't bother me at all. 4 does take a little 'splaining to do. good news he may drop to us now, assuming we take him and the wonderlic had no bearing on his NfFL performance Edited April 3, 2012 by Joe_the_6_pack
2003Contenders Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 I wonder if the leak wasn't by a team in the bottom half of the the top 10-12 hoping to make him fall to them.
Kelly the Dog Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 Relax guys, he didn't use a #2 pencil. Honest mistake. He can't count either?
