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 ?

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%.

Trust the tape

IMO Justin Fields is a good Qb with a high NFL ceiling. Chicago needs to upgrade their O line and get him a difference-maker @ WR.

The tools and football IQ is there.

I still think Hooker was the best college QB last year. If he goes to the right team I think he will be a beast (best/breast &#128540

Peter King thinks he'll go in the first round.

The man had 11,053 yards of total offense, completing 632-of-944 passes (66.9 percent) for 8,974 yards and 80 touchdowns with 12 interceptions. Plus 25 rushing TDs. That’s pretty amazing.

Amazing since he didn't do as well at his previous stop.

Maybe LSU's Daniels will follow the same fate for next year.
