Albert Breer: Bryce Young scored 98 on his S2 teat

Ok first off its most likely not going to help taking it multiple times.  Second off lets compare it to practicing for the 40 yard dash for example.   First off there is a physical genetic limitation to how fast you can run regardless of how much you train for it.  Second, if you run a 4.25 at the nfl combine and you practiced for the 40 since high school, guess what?  You're still fast.  Thats all that really matters.

It’s not like practicing the 40 though. It’s mental, not physical. It would help taking it multiple times. The more comfortable and familiar you are with something like that, the quicker you can react.  Anyone who’s played duck hunt, the first time you play you’re not going to score nearly as well as the tenth or twentieth.

If this test is so important to determine QB success, why was Fields not picked earlier and why has his career been “less than stellar’? 
 

Because some FOs and coaches are susceptible to media-driven hype  Because he was saddled with bad coaching that was not trying to play to his strengths, had to deal with more than one OC, had a terrible O-line as far as pass protection, and didn't have any great weapons.

This is a good example but a bad example at the same time. If you run the 40 yard dash daily, you will get faster at it to a point. Better technique will get you faster. Better body conditioning will get you faster. There are things you can do to improve at it. I'm not sure how one would improve at the S2 specifically. 

Practicing the test helps you understand it better.  Decreases anxiety because it helps you understand what to expect.  you improve your mental technique. 
If I practiced the 40, worked on my technique and got in peak condition, could I run a 4.4?

And what would that be?  Aren't reporters suppose to share the data and information with readers?  Instead you tell us that you have gathered info and we need to trust your sense of logic.   Good stuff.

You could really say that about any of these prospects though

It applies moreso to him. He was my favorite going into last year when all of you were arguing over Howell and and the Pickets of the draft. He is a year ahead of the rest of the class in development.  He played more games and studied more tape than the rest of the class. He's practiced the S2 since HS so he gets no bump for that. 

I've come to see that those things alone will not make him successful in the nfl. He has limitations that set him back to the point that he's not the best choice in this class.  He needs the least development, sure but he's near his ceiling in mental aspects of the game.

He's just not a safe or sure pick to make it in the nfl. That put him on equal footing with the rest of the class when to take everything into consideration.

Edited to add that I also that he's afraid of competing at anything he thinks will make him look bad.

    • if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying 
    • So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
