*apparently false scores leaked* STROUD SCORES 18% ON S2 TEST (or maybe not)

I dont think the test means nothing but it is weird this is the first year a big deal has been made of it.  If he scored 18, which seems like something is way off compared to the other scores, then I would like to hear it from him.  The s2 dudes said all the top qbs scored high so this is kindof weird.

No one should take this as a knock on Young's intelligence (though someone probably will) 🙄

But I do think you kinda have to take into account the fact that he was taking this test on an annual basis from high school forward.

The guys who created the test might say that doesn't matter, but they sorta have a vested interest.

Success is an interesting term. He’s successful by playing for so long in the NFL and accumulating a vast amount of wealth. He would put together some great games and then have some absolute stinkers. He was a back up off and on throughout his career, not saying he sucks but some are assuming Young will be great bc of a test scores. I’m just saying Fitz wasn’t great and probably aced all of his tests. 


You’re conflating all tests. Different tests measure different things.

For all we know, Fitz had decent processing speed but couldn’t keep track of many objects in space (tunnel vision).

Smart agents would be having these kids take the test beforehand so they know how they'll do on it. If they're gonna bomb, simply decline. Better to have teams guessing how bad you'd do compared to showing them exactly how bad.

 

Which, in that case, a decline would be a tacit admission that the player scored poorly.

Just goes back to the old saying. Better to stay quiet and have people think you're an idiot than open your mouth and remove all doubt.

I mean, people questioned Funchess' speed going into the draft but then he went to the Combine and ran a 4.7 and it was like holy poo. We didn't know he was THAT slow. Then we still drafted him in the 2nd. 😂

Eeehhh, maybe.

It'd probably come to be viewed the same way they look at a player not doing drills at the Combine.

Either way though, I would agree that these scores being leaked is probably only going to decrease the willingness of players to take this test.

I don’t get why it’s a big deal that it is leaked to the public. The team’s already had the info, it’s not like it was hidden from them. This is just for us fans to have insight to why someone could/would drop.

 

cc: @vorbisbc this is a good topic for discussion 

Because its like medical records.  We have no business knowing if the person doesnt want us to.

Nobody even knew this was a thing until they were using it to market Bryce. I bet CJ didn't even try, cause that's massively low. It's funny how you need a science degree now to be a pro at a KIDS game. Y'all just wanna argue. If Bryce is their guy then Bryce is their guy. It's gonna be their jobs on the line. All I'm gonna say is, if he ends up like Tua, I'm blaming this whole board. Bet the majority wont be here too.

I know next to nothing about this test, and am not making excuses, but I know some very smart, capable people that are terrible test takers. They are not athletes though...

This isnt a test that measures intelligence though.  It measures movement tracking,  processing speed, correct impulse,  etc.  This test is genetic basically.   Your score is your score for the most part.

Its hard to get a answer form you about the cops compared to nurses, do you understand the question?

Lady Cowboy Fan is a nurse. Judging from my personal dealings with her, I believe she'd probably make a pretty good cop too 😄

Also think she'd make a good French maid, naughty schoolgirl, Farmer's daughter and a few other things depending on what's available at 3wishes.com, but that's another discussion.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
