This topic can be about teams/players/whatever.

First 2 things:
Jay Cutler from Vanderbilt is at the combine this week. I like that, and don't like the diva's that have to work out at their own special workout. Plus this quote makes me root for him even more. :)

After noting his down-to-earth style, a reporter asked Cutler if money would change him:

"I don't know,'' he said. "Let's find out soon.''



Second, reportedly Vince Young scored a 6 on the Wonderlic test. For you that don't know, the Wonderlic is a test designed to test logic and cognitive ability. It's a 12minute, 50 question test. He later retested and got a 16. Still the average score is a 21. On the flip side, Donovan McNabb scored a 12, Culpepper a 15 and a 21. Although there are some reports of 'irregularities' on the test, does this matter? And does the test itself matter? Does being able to figure out the square root of 100 help when you're trying to read a deep cover 2 defense and find the hot route?

Texans are talking about training the first pick. I heard a rumor that they may trade with the Jets for the 4th pick, give them Abraham who they are trying to get rid of. Then the Texans could take D'Brickashaw Ferguson to protect Carr.

I'm a USC fan, and let me tell you something about Vince Young. The dude lifted his team up and personally beat one of the greatest college football teams of all time. That showed me all I needed to know about Vince Young. He is a winner, he has a heart as big as Texas, and he is as gifted an athlete as you could want. If Houston doesn't take him, and why they want to hold onto the mediocre David Carr is beyond me, they'll be making the biggest draft day mistake I've ever seen.

Leinart is a winner, too, and probably scored higher on that test, but he isn't the athlete Young is, and I suspect without the awesome offensive line he had at USC, he's not going to be winning many games. Bush? He'll be a decent pro, but he's going up against a lot more speed and athleticism than he faced in college and won't be the game breaker in the pros that he was at 'SC.
