Albert Breer: Bryce Young scored 98 on his S2 teat

Of course, it's only one small piece of the puzzle to his whole evaluation. But scoring highly is just more evidence to what you already knew about him. What if he actually bombed the S2 score but his tape is excellent? Does the S2 test have more significance now that it's negative? just asking. 

IMO, if he had been taking the test as much as he has and bombed it, that would be more alarming than the reward of doing well on it. Repeated exposure on most things should always lead to increased scores/values.

To your question - if he looked great on tape and scored terrible on the s2, I wouldn't put much consideration into the s2. Most of these cognitive/intelligence tests sports use just don't really align with the actual sport IMO. I do think the s2 has way more usefulness than the Wonderlic, but there are way too many variables on the football field for any type of cognitive test to factor in. The s2 should be low on the importance scale and I would hope that a poor score on the s2 would be obvious on tape, because the assumption would be that they are not making smart throws.

Does it test 300 lb lineman landing on him?

If Cam was Superman, will  Bryce be Mighty Mouse?  What’s that TD celebration look like?

Lock it up boyz this was the icing on the cake.

 

Get your #9 jerseys early.

I mean fields scored high and he’s not good so yeah. I’d hate to let some test make the decision for Carolina.

Nobody is knocking Bryce for practicing it. But you also can’t say practicing something doesn’t improve your performance in reaction times. Of course it does. The more you practice the more you’re able to react without thinking.  Think of reaction based video games, the more you play then the better you get, especially when it’s strictly based on reaction time.
 

Is it a very good sign that he scored so well? Of course!  Does the fact he’s been practicing since high school skew the context of comparing his score against anyone else who took the test? Of course it does.

Maybe.  They called Sam Mills field mouse.

Man do yall even watch football...

 

How is he not good when Chicago just traded the #1 overall pick!

 

Obviously he's good at something. You judging this man when he had one of the worst rosters in the NFL for the past 2 years. Judge him when he gets talent around him. No other QB would have done any better with that supporting cast he had.

Name me 5 good Chicago players that he played with on either side of the ball the past 2 years?

Exactly, there are two perspectives to a test. A positive correlation and a negative correlation. QBs who score high on the S2 TEND to succeed better in the NFL, and that's all the test is telling you. They don't release poor S2 scores of other players so we don't know if there is a negative correlation. Regardless, Bryce has set himself up to be the #1 pick. Let's go!
