CJ Stroud: I’m a football player, not a test taker

[PantherOnTheProwl1523]

There was talk on NFL radio this morning and the test was brought up. From what was said about that test it doesn't determine how good IQ of a QB will be or how well he will play. All of this is a big distraction and a ridiculous reason to cause any QB to just freefall in draft positions.

And if he does fall to 9, if we were picking there, we'd have to think why in the hell would he have dropped.  Major red flags and we'd probably pass on him too at that point.

I mean it doesn't measure IQ so you can be smart and still bad at the S2 right?

Well that seems wrong. It's not an IQ test and everyone who has scored low hasn't succeeded in the NFL. If Stroud really got a low score (which seems accurate at this point given his answer) then he'll be an outlier. The data they've collected thus far points to Stroud being a dud.

If all those QB needy teams pass on him…yikes.

Did someone let him know he's not in the NFL yet? Saying you're one of the smartest QBs in the NFL when you haven't even been drafted yet or currently a member of an NFL roster isn't a smart thing to say.

Right it does measure visual processing though.

I'm a fan, but I echo others in saying that a few of his answers to questions have made me cringe a little

They all do that though.  It's confidence.  AR said he will be in the HoF and he hasn't be drafted yet.

Had to rewatch it to catch what he said... second language and all. Something about probably the smartest QB in the draft, and when he get drafted tomorrow he will be one of the smartest QBs in the NFL.

Yeah...

 

His quote reminded me of this:

I would tend to believe someone that has more football knowledge than either of us. And by the way you must enjoy saying a false statement about CJ being a dud which is totally ridiculous and lame to even say something stupid like that.
