I'm not saying he's a dud, I'm saying the data points to him being a dud. If they've carried out 100s of tests and all the low scoring players haven't been a success then everything I said is true, he'll either be an outlier or a failure like the rest of the low scoring players. Nothing controversial about that.

Doesn’t dispute the score. Says he’s not a “test taker”. Still, must be fake, goat boy says so.

A year ago nobody on this board had ever heard of the s2 and now its treated as gospel.  Funny how that works

Thats an impossible statement without seeing all the data

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.

If we hadn't traded up, there is no saying he'd had been there had we stayed.  At this point, the huddle is just freaking out over subjective bullshit.

Bummer he has to defend himself from these attacks on his intelligence. I hope he does well wherever he goes.

Im not saying we shouldnt have traded up, all I am saying is I wish we would have waited to see how the draft goes.  Someone always drops and in this particular class all 4 top qbs have huge question marks

Seriously I hope most of these young men have great careers.  It's better for the NFL honestly.  Now if he gets drafted by the Falcons, Saints, or Bucs he can be a total "dud" for all I care.

No one's attacking his intelligence.  It's a cognitive test. It measures reaction time and awareness.  Has nothing to do with intelligence.

What if the player we don't want is the one that drops.  Say our staff doesn't want Stroud and he is the one that drops.  You want a season of Andy Dalton???

Feel bad for Stroud but whatever team drafts him will be getting a franchise Qb. In a perfect Madden like world, I’d draft both Qb’s lol too bad there’s not a CJ Young.

Honestly falling may hurt him financially short term, but he will probably land on a better team later in the draft.  Although it didn't work that way for Fields...

And there's been plenty of people with vast football knowledge that DO put stock into the test, more so than its deniers.  You can't just choose the side you agree with as the one telling the truth.  Also saying that CJ Stroud might be a dud isn't a false statement, its simply a prediction based on his processing ability.  Whether that will be proven true or not in the future remains to be seen. 

As much as Young is an outlier due to his size, CJ will be just as much an outlier due to his processing.  I really do wish CJ luck, but I think he's going to need a very good team around him to excel at the NFL level.
