The other thing going around the talk shows is that the demand for that no. 1 pick was greatly exaggerated and the Colts told the Bears they didn't feel that strongly about any of the qb's.  Houston, Indy, Vegas, all content to stay put.  

You mean the Panthers may have bid against themselves... again?

That is not how the S2 Cognition Test works. You are thinking more along the lines of the Wonderlic, which I would agree is pretty worthless. S2 is a good indicator of NFL success. If Young is more than slightly ahead of Stroud, he should be the pick.  I have heard from more than one scout that CJ Stroud comp is Jared Goff.  Did we just mortgage our future for Jared Goff? The other thing going around the talk shows is that the demand for that no. 1 pick was greatly exaggerated and the Colts told the Bears they didn't feel that strongly about any of the qb's.  Houston, Indy, Vegas, all content to stay put.

That's what I'd be saying if I was them too. But would it be shocking to find out that we were bidding against ourselves... again? Honestly, no. That's what ended up coming out after we traded for Darnold too. We were pretty much the only team seriously trying to trade for him.

At the end of the day, it doesn't really matter. End up with a stud QB on a rookie contract with this pick and no one cares. It will have been worth it.

Me thinks you may have found, whether for good or bad, a new friend. Now be respectful, and he may just last a long long time. But don't feed him after midnight. That's when things get a little dicey.

This falls on them. Panthers won the toss and the #1 pick and they didn't and it isn't our fault we were ready to do the trade without any delays.

The timing wasn't right because they didn't have a clear ranking for these qb's.

I’m sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but the Young vs Stroud debate may rage on for years following draft night. 

True that. Hopefully whoever they pick ends up being the best of any QB in the class either way.

For all the Only young people, where is your limit in regards to his size? 

Say he measured in at 5'7 and 165 LBs if that fine?

Extreme 4'11.75 and 135 LBs, still drafting him?

Where is your cut off point?

You have access to watch the games he played in…never understand how much people devalue the actual playing of the sport. 
 

Watching the tape will tell you it’s Young, with Stroud not that far behind. 

The NFL Draft is about projection.

I can point out several QB's that have had stellar cognitive tests and  never amounted to much. This is the 40 yard dash for brains man. I trust the staff will make the right decision. I just hope they don't put so much emphasis on certain tests that can or cannot translate to the NFL.

There's no magic bullet evaluation tool. They're all just pieces of data.

I still think you have to be "this" tall to ride the rollercoaster, but I digress.
