truth on hold Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 (edited) Now that we know Dallas had an intense interest in Claiborne, were highly incented to see him drop and didn't care about the low test score, can we assume they most likely leaked the score of 4? If this can be proven could they lose the pick retroactively? Otherwise what would be the penalty? Also how could Claiborne want to play for them if this came out ? Hmmmm .....

Â They would not be the first team to leak someone's information . . . I wonder if any of the 5 teams in front of them fell for it, you know know how gullible those NFL GM's are.

Doc Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 (edited) Even Claiborne would never use the phrase "highly incented". Outside of the fact that he probably has no idea what the word "incented" means (and with a Wonderlic of 4, I'd be skeptical of him knowing what "highly" means as well), why else wouldn't he use that phrase? Â And every team knows the results of every player's Wonderlic well before the draft. So leaking it to the public means nothing.

You're saying fan opinion and media frenzy don't matter ? That a team wanting to see him drop wouldnt try to pollute the water somehow? If there were no benefit to leaking yet the potential for league punishment, why leak? Edited May 2, 2012 by Joe_the_6_pack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since you don't actually KNOW who leaked the score it would appear that trying to establish a motive is a waste of time. The psychology behind an exercise like this in a forum makes me wonder how the witch trials stopped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kickedface Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 it wouldn't shock me, but at the same time teams would do stuff like that. especially if they see a player they like. don't be surprised if this starts to become common practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
