Breaking News: Marcus Vick May Not Be Smart


Sure, New Mexico has skeletons in his closet worse than this (see: trying to take out a knee, see also: wielding a gun in a McDonald's parking lot), but the latest from Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio may be the final nail in the coffin of Vick the younger's NFL livelihood:

"There are reports that Vick Lite scored a mere 11 on the Wonderlic test.  Though it's four points lower than Vince Young's official 15, Marcus apparently didn't get a do-over.  It's hardly a shocker, since Marcus has been doing stuff befitting this low score for years.

The next question is whether anyone will burn a draft selection on him.  The Broncos have shown that they're willing to piss away picks on established problem children.  At one point, we thought the Falcons might throw a second-day choice on Marcus in order to keep Michael happy, but now we think that the organization doesn't necessarily care much about keeping Michael happy.

Our guess?  The Raiders, in round seven -- or the Broncos in round three."

An 11. Wow. The average score for a QB was 24.6, and, as we learned last month upon hearing about Vince Young's  erroneous 6, a score under 10 indicates literacy problems. Which, in Vick's case, isn't all that surprising.

Hey, I wonder how he'd do on EDSBS's hilarious Are You Marcus Vick? quiz? Actually, I hope Vick Lite (as PFT calls him) doesn't become aware that such a quiz exists. EDSBS might get got.

    We  know  Marcus  Vick  isn't   smart,  but  what  about  his  Wonderlic  results  ?  Anything  below  a  15  shows  that  this   guy   may  not  make  it  in the NFL.   His   attitude  sucks  and  he  believes   that  he's  entitled   to be   lauded   with  accolades  even though   he's  yet   to  achieve  anything   of  merit.   Any   NFL  GM  that's  willing  to  take  a  chance  on this  guy   should  have  his  head  examined !  But   rest  assured   there's  one  out  there ,   that's  willing  to  take   the  chance ,  thinking   that  they'll  be  able  to  redeem  this  guy.  He's  really  just  a  mal-content.  He'll    end  up  the   way   of  Maurice   Clarett.   And   we  all   know  how  that  Shakespearean    tragedy  worked  out.

    A mess .. yes!  But not all spots on the field require you to pencil in an answer.  He runs fast so he'll get a shot.  The next Lawrence Phillips maybe?
