Timmy Tebow Bombs the Wonderlic Test

Do I look dumb Terez? Florida quarterback Tim Tebow, whose intangibles supposedly enhance his pro-football resume, scored slightly below average for an NFL quarterback on the Wonderlic test, a 12-minute, 50-question exam given at the scouting combine that assesses learning and problem-solving abilities. Tebow scored a 22 on the Wonderlic, an NFL source told the Post. The average score for an NFL quarterback is 24. Oklahoma’s Sam Bradford had the best score among the 2010 draft’s top four QB draft prospects with a 36 (Texas’ Colt McCoy scored a 25 and Notre Dame’s Jimmy Clausen a 23). –Palm Beach Post This confirms what I’ve been saying about Timmy Teabag all along..He’s dumb as rocks..-TO Timmy Tebow Grossed $120k From Autograph Show Tebow autograph to go for $160 (read more)

BREAKING: TIM TEBOW KINDA DUMB

The scores for the Wonderlic, that silly test that the NFL uses to measure mental acumen, are out, and former Florida quarterback and noted golden child Tim Tebow, once again, disappointed. Now I know how Tebow’s high school prom date felt. See, because he’s a virgin…and he never…eh, forget it. Tebow scored a 22 out of 50 on the Wonderlic test, an NFL source told the [Palm Beach] Post Wednesday. The score falls slightly below the average score for an NFL quarterback, which is 24. But the average for 30 quarterbacks slated to start in 2010 is even higher, at 28.5. And the average score among the past seven Super Bowl winners is a 30.1. The scores for Kansas City’s Matt Cassel and Carolina’s Matt Moore could not be found. Tebow is shaping up to be one of the more disappointing NFL prospects. He’s already achieved prospect status, but now he’s on “short bus prospect” status. In two weeks we’ll probably find out if he’s a highly functioning autistic. Those lefthanders are the devil, man.

Wonderlic: Tim Tebow Scores Lowest Among High Profile QB Prospects

Wonderlic Scores: Tim Tebow scored a 22 on his Wonderlic test, slightly below the quarterback average 24 and lowest among high-profile quarterback prospects.  Expect articles in tomorrow’s Florida Union Times about the test being worthless with testimonials from Tebow’s professors about how brilliant he is.  Apparently, the test doesn’t ask enough questions about leadership and charity work.  Sam Bradford scored a 36, Colt McCoy a 25 and Jimmy Clausen a 23.  (@edgarthompson) (read more)

Tim Tebow Scores Well on the Wonderlic

The Wonderlic is a mental aptitude test that the NFL administers to players who attend the NFL Combine. In the grand scheme of things the Wonderlic is a weak gauge at best to how a player will perform on the field. Nonetheless, scouts examine the scores like 40-yard dash times. If a player scores poorly, especially if they are a quarterback, it is thought to be the worst thing in the world. Every year we must have this discussion and what better place to begin than with the chosen one Tim Tebow.

The top scores for quarterbacks who took the Wonderlic are in, and that includes one, Mr. Tim Tebow who racked up a 22. Not a bad score at all. A 22 places Tebow middle of the pack. He is functional and can rationalize. A 22 is especially good when you consider Tebow only racked up a 890 on the SAT.

Other quarterbacks who scored well on the Wonderlic include; Jimmy Clausen 23 (guess that Notre Dame education isn't worth as much as they thought), Colt McCoy 25 (he needs all the help he can get to raise his draft stock), and Sam Bradford 36 (simply a solid score).

For those of you wondering, the Wonderlic is score out of 50 points. If you want to see how you handle the Wonderlic, check out this previous post from Walker Sports.

Gators QB Tim Tebow scored a 22 on his Wonderlic, Jimmy Clausen 23, Colt McCoy 25 and Sam Bradford 36 out of 50, per NFL source.

Is Tim Tebow’s Autograph Worth $160 and Four Hours of Your Time?

For the hundreds of Florida fans that lined up for the Chosen One’s signature, the answer is a resounding “YES!”  I doubt that the real Jesus Christ could have pulled this off–charging $160 to scribble his name on footballs, jerseys, pieces of paper and whatever else the rabid fans thrust in the former Gators quarterback’s face. But a four hour wait to meet Tim Tebow?  Really?  It’s pretty clear that Florida fans will continue to love Tebow long after he’s named backup QB of the Saskatchewan Roughriders. And if you’re a jaded and pessimistic jerkass like myself, you immediately thought that 1) $160 is way too much for Tebow’s autograph, and that the money would be better served on weed and hookers, and 2) with so many people lining up for Tebow’s “John Hancock” at $160 a pop, his wallet’s going to be a lot heavier.  And, like me, you’d be dead wrong…at least about the second part. Why?  Because Tim Tebow is a better person than you or I.  See, the boatloads of cash he’s making from whoring out his signature will be going to the Tim Tebow Foundation, which is slightly more charitable and altruistic than George Costanza’s Human Fund.  Tebow had wanted to form this charity during his playing days at Florida, but NCAA rules barred him from doing so. And while it’s fairly obvious, from the jealous bile that spews out of my mouth when talking about Tim Tebow’s quarterbacking skills, that I don’t think he’s in for a long or prosperous NFL career, there’s no doubt in my mind that Tim Tebow’s character and humanity is second to none…in any football league.

Tebow's Gal Pal Eliminated from Idol

Way Back in April of 2009, the above picture surfaced of Tim Tebow and some unnamed girl made the blogosphere go buzz as people speculated that she might be Tebow's girlfriend. (My Florida sources tell me that they were just good friends) Well, the girl in the picture, Janell Wheeler has made name for herself as she made the top 24 on this season's American Idol. Here is one of her earlier performances of Estelle's American Boy during Hollywood Week: However, Janell received the dire news as she was the first eliminated contestant this season. Oh well, Cheer Up Janell! At least you got your name out there in the music business and you got a post on Outside the Boxscore without doing anything negative.

Tebow’s Re-Training Won’t Help Draft Stock

By Paul M. Banks Recently, St. Tim Tebow (the mainstream media has officially canonized him) began work to completely revolutionize his throwing delivery. So you know what that means? For the first time in football history, one guy working out by himself for the NFL draft will get incessant media coverage. If you only follow this story, you can gather everything you need to know about his NFL Draft stock this April. (And if you read the ESPN story I linked to you’ll see yet another example of how bad ESPN and CBS’ man-crush on him truly is) The very fact that he’s attempting to undo so many habits that he’s had his whole life in football tells you he’s not ready for the next level, and he certainly knows it. The fact that we (and everyone else in the football world) is talking about this also exemplifies why he’ll be drafted; somewhere. I’m predicting he’ll go in the third or fourth round to Jacksonville because 1.) They’re desperate to sell tickets, and Tebow’s astronomical star power can really pack ‘em in 2.) His sainthood is even more holy in Florida than versus the rest of the country, so a local team should grab him. Hey, football is a business after all. I must commend Tebow for his work ethic and dedication- he’s saying and doing all the right things, and if he can convince some NFL team that he’s a “project pick”, he’ll land somewhere.
