The Florida quarterback with the Cam Newton-like physiqueremains under consideration by the Panthers, according to a source with knowledge of the situation. 


You Young lovers better not get too comfortable. Lol

*Person made a note that this was only in the unlikely case they trade down.

I read a random comment saying Young has taken this test (or something similar) since he was in high school.  I don't know if this is true, but I wouldn't doubt it seeing his dad is a psychologist or something like that.  It brings up an interesting point of whether this test is more of a standardized one, something you can prep for and get better at it the more you take it.  According to Albert Breer, Young scored a 98.

All that said, if I were an agent for future first round value QBs, I would tell them straight up, "DON'T TAKE THIS TEST"!!!!!  According to some, Stroud should now go undrafted because of this test. (Being funny)

Everybody is looking for some way to predict whether a QB (or any position) will work out if they are drafted.

The problem I see, just from what I have read, is the proponents say the S2 correctly identified several prospects as hits and they were.

Who else did it identify as hits that were not?  Who did it not identify as a hit that were?

Numbers can be dangerous things.  I'm not saying the S2 is NOT a good identifier, I just can't conclude that based on identifying 5 or 6 guys that turned out great without knowing the false alarms or misses.

Think of a memory test type of thing. 

 

Say you have 10 objects on a wall and each light up in a pattern very quickly. You've got to remember the pattern by watching the whole area at once since they light up so quickly. 

 

Those are facets of the test

You'll never have any aptitude or intelligence test that results in a 1:1 "this QB will succeed and this one will fail" clarity. There will be correlations to greater or lesser degree, but there will *always* be an element of conjecture in evaluating any potential draft pick. As desperate as teams are to make it "hard science", it's ultimately a fools errand, and intuition will always be an important factor. You have to have evaluators with "football eyes", and even then, they will never be able to avoid misses entirely. Fingers crossed.

I'm skeptical there is any standardly applied test that you wouldn't improve on taking multiple times.  It wouldn't necessarily be that a player is learning the answers themselves... Rather, learning the best way that works for themselves in taking the test.

      Wild Idea.. Trade for Shemar Stewart

      By PNW_PantherMan · Posted

      Poverty franchise behavior.  If you don't like him as a 3rd rounder then why'd you draft him there?  As others have said, they likely found out some new information and have buyer's remorse. Our FO didn't give DJ Johnson a hard time for being a bad pick.

      Wild Idea.. Trade for Shemar Stewart

      Best I heard its a clause the bungals want to add. It prevents them form paying the full guaranteed amount if triggered. No one knows the details of the clause, but guesses are it relates to off-field stuff. Stewart is in the right here. Before they signed burrow, chase, and Higgins they were the cheapest team in the league bar none. Unlike tepper or jarrah Jones or any other NFL ownership, all Mike brown owns is the beagals. Every other owner has many other money making businesses, not bungals.  I still remember when Brenston Bunker was starting on WFNZ and he told the story about the beagals telling him to pick a used cup form a huge pile, LOLS! They been on hard knocks and I remember Marvin lewis telling the players not to take home Gatorade bottles........* but in that case, I believe some players were taking a back pack and filling it up with drinks. Still you make millions(around 200million) in net profit and Im sure coke gave the team those bottles, still... Its a 32 team billion business, someone has to the cheapest.....Panthers were around the next cheapest team before tepper bought them and he has POURED millions upon millions into the team. He bought a bubble that Richardson never would, so the team had to gather in a old building during the rain. He spent millions on coofus machines that he just gave away like the bubble. Tepper made that AC trailer a thing. I've trashed him about his concerts and taking away end zone seats from fans. But the guy will spend money any way in efforts to better the team, dang I just remembered the deal he gave Rhule- more than Andy Reid at the time.  I know results have not came, but Id 100% take Tepper over Mike brown as a owner.

      TIME TO SPECULATE

      There's no way they're shipping you some uniform you haven't seen lol.  I feel like they'd just refund you and ask if you wanted the new one when it launched. Probably just making the blues the primary, or a new helmet for a new alternate/variation.
