Or is someone just butt hurt CJ passed up on attending "The Manning Passing Academy" ? ...

CJ will be one of the first names called on Thursday night.

If his stock is truly "dropping", it's because some may be concerned about the storied list of failed OSU QBs who have been unsuccessful in translating their game to the next level .

The NFL is hard.

And THE Ohio St is still trying to claim BDJ... All other QBs at THE Ohio St have been a disappointment.

CJ Stroud is the best QB in this draft and I don’t think it’s close.

Agree 100.

This is why I hope Carolina selects B Young instead.

Isn't that what they said about Justin Fields ? It's all too confusing ... Who should we believe ?

Mighty high praise ...

I wonder why they're putting so much value on this new version of the Wonderslick test?

It isn't the same type of test at all. The Wonderlic is a problem solving test with multiple choice answers. The S2 is a physical and mental response test using game type controls from what I have read. It supposedly measures response times and accuracy.

What is S2 in the NFL? Explaining Bryce Young, other QB scores for 2023 draft cognition test

From link above:

S2 began testing in 2015 and, unlike the now-passe Wonderlic, does not measure general intelligence. It instead determines the speed at which players can process split-second information, and how fast they can act on it.

The Athletic reports the S2 evaluation takes 40 to 45 minutes to complete and consists of nine different tests, all of which measure varying aspects of processing speed. Per S2's site, five of the mental "instincts" it tests for include:

Perception Speed
Visual Search Efficiency
Trajectory Prediction
Impulse Control
Improvisation

Reportedly it doesn't identify when an athlete will be successful, but it can identify when there is a high likelihood they won't be a success based upon historic results. They said anything below a score of 80% for a QB is a red flag. Stroud scored a shockingly low 18%. I believe Bryce Young scored a 98%.
