These videos can be used as evidence against the snake oil salesmen at S2, if Tepper ever decides to sue them.

Anyone can sell Tepper a bill of goods he's the most gullible billionaire out there.  I bet if I got a meeting with him I could convince him to give me a couple mil on some bullshit

So what good is the S2 assessment of the cognitive multi-reactive timing/spatial awareness in the brain when the skeletal/muscular infrastructure of the body is incapable of expediating the neuropathy way of that stimulus in an efficient manner?

Image the cognitive skill set of a Formula 1 driver in a race against other F1 drivers and F1 cars.........but instead of piloting a high tech F1 car this particular high cognitive skill set driver has to send his inputs into a Honda Civic to race against the other competitors in their F1 machines. 

S2 is only as good as the supportive structure of that stimulus............Young might have an S2 brain but he's got a Honda Civic body trying to compete against the speed of NFL players with F1 racing bodies...........

...................and an educated billionaire get past his ego to realize this?

I think the main thing to remember about any testing done for the NFL is that it's only there to confirm an observation.

A guy looks fast on film?  Then he's probably fast on the track.  If not, figure out why.  Bryce does have a lot of gifts like his anticipation, accuracy and mindset.  BUT the problem he's facing now is that he's not physically capable of solving problems with his body.  Again, not everyone can be Big Ben or Cam Newton who are hard to take down based on their size alone.  Not everyone can be as fast as Lamar Jackson.  Some QBs have very special physical traits which allow them to mitigate offensive problems.

Look at many of the "cerebral" QBs.  Rodgers is a good athlete, but he still goes down (when his Achilles tendon isn't broken) when the pocket collapses.  Joe Burrow?  Good athlete but he can't carry a team on his back like a physical freak.  Mahomes is a very good athlete that can extended plays, but he still needs support to dominate.  You can go on, but the truth is MOST qbs need help.

The S2 is just a test.  It's designed to see how well a subject can handle multiple stimuli at the same time and process the information.  That's an important part of being a QB for sure, but it's not the end all/be all.

I think most of the NFL was still probably Bryce 1 / CJ 2 before and after the test based on their college resumes.  The S2 was just more data that the media ran away with like wonderlic scores.  What does it all mean in the grand scheme of things?  Either a guy can play or they can't.  Right now, CJ is showing he can.  I still hold out hope for Bryce with a new staff to actually develop him.  But if Bryce fails again, then he will join the long list of QBs with great college careers and poor NFL careers.  That's why the draft is always a crap shoot.

If most of the NFL was in on him being NFL Number 1 dude, then most of the NFL are idiots. I honestly don’t get allowing a guy with his size issues being the top of the heap especially not having more impressive physical traits to offset the disadvantage. 

His lack of arm strength limits things situationally especially off schedule. 

WTF was there to like that wins games in the NFL? People are nuts.

I literally still believe in the product. A. Who knows if the leaked scores are real, the owner said they weren’t and as we know the media was eager to pump Bryce. B. I think having necessary size is a precursor to the test even being relevant, there’s no way to make 5’8 180 work. Levis and Purdy scored super high and they’re doing well.

Exactly. The mental cannot be fully detached from the physical, and that dynamic was always ignored as the S2 was being over hyped this past offseason

in the first S2 thread i explained thoroughly how the creators took various things from something called a Neuropsych Evaluation and slapped it on QB performance. Neuropsych Evals are very detailed tests to figure out exactly what neuro-cognitive deficits a patient has (Lewy Body, Stroke, TBI, etc).

One part of  it measures what is called visual spatial coordination or processing, it's called a few things. Basically how you take visual information, process it, and act (or don't) on it. A very simple example of this is the drawing a clock test. It requires the patient to recall an abstract concept (time), a concrete expression of it (a clock), and recreate this mechanically (draw it.) Alzheimer's for example looks like this. 

Pin on Alzheimers and Dementia

The actual NeuroPsych test is much more in depth and measures ocular reflexes and a whole host of other things. They took that and just said "good quarterbacks do X. Do you want to be good?"

On top of that, they teach classes for QBs to do better on this test. So they were trying to make their test part of the player evaluation process and were selling classes to get better at it.

This was a transparent scam and a massive HIPAA violation from the start and one day I'm going to go through that old S2 thread and shame every fuging idiot who decided they wanted to argue with a Neurology APP about it.

He just has a low sports IQ. His business acumen is impressive considering he wasn't handed millions like most billionaires. 

Teppers problem is he has the big head because he was able to make billions from buying undervalued stock . He thinks he’s the smartest man in the room, when he’s far from it, when it comes to team building, picking players, picking coaches.

I would be surprised if he played anything past pee wee soccer because he doesn't understand the importance of camaraderie or a coach that garners the respect of their players.

I miss the OG Big Cat.... he'd never let this franchise turn into a total cesspool

musculoskeletal system has nothing to do with neurotransmission.

    • If you sync both your iPhone and Mac data to iCloud, eventually, storage will fill up again unless you learn how to use it more wisely. So, we’ll go over a few steps  +1-844-476-5438 you can take to quickly free up iCloud storage now and regularly clean up your iCloud in the future. Step 1. Delete duplicate photos on iPhone With iCloud Photo Library enabled on your iPhone, every photo you take gets automatically synced to the cloud. Each individual photo doesn’t take much space, but if you take 3-4 shots every time until you get the one you like, those megabytes quickly add up. One way to deal with it is to rummage through your library and clean out these unneeded photos manually. A faster way is to download CleanMy®Phone. This iPhone app streamlines the process by finding and preselecting similar photos, low-quality shots, and screenshots, so you just need to tap Delete.  With iCloud Photo Library turned on, the photos you delete on your iPhone will also be removed from the cloud, so you’ll easily free up some iCloud space. The app is free to download, so go ahead and try it on your iPhone. Step 2. Find old files in your iCloud Drive Since macOS Sierra, the system automatically stashes old files — like movies you’ve already watched — to iCloud, which helps you save storage on your Mac. But the problem is that these files still occupy space, except now it’s the precious space in your iCloud. To see what you’ve got there and what you can delete, do the following: Sign in to your account at icloud.com. Click Drive. Go through your files and select the ones you no longer need. Click the ellipsis and choose Delete Selected. Do not forget to empty the Recently Deleted folder by clicking Delete All. Done. If you’re using macOS High Sierra, iCloud Drive is also available as a folder in the Finder, so you can do the same on your Mac. Step 3. Clean up junk files on Mac The easiest way to clean up iCloud and free up some much-needed space is to get rid of junk files. These are cache files, unneeded language files, document versions, temporary files, and downloads. When you use iCloud for backups, these files quickly pile up and become real space wasters. You can try and hunt down these files manually, but the process is time-consuming and, well, risky because you can accidentally delete files necessary for the proper functioning of your Mac. Therefore, it is safer and faster to let a dedicated Mac cleaner do the job for you.  We recommend CleanMyMac X. It comes with the System Junk module designed for quick cleanup and a safe selection of files for removal. It deletes only files that will not degrade your Mac’s performance. Here’s how to use this smart tool: Open CleanMyMac X (free download here). Click System Junk > Scan.  You can now click Review Details and select files for deletion or click Clean right away.  Do the same for Sent and Archive.  Now, go to Trash, press Command + A, and click Delete. Alternatively, right-click any email and choose Delete [x] Messages.  It’s a good idea to develop the habit of trashing any email you know you won’t need in the future right away to avoid space-hogging in the first place. Step 4. Delete iCloud emails you don’t need If you’re using an iCloud email account (the one that ends with @icloud.com), all email messages you get are stored in — you guessed it — iCloud. And while emails themselves don’t weigh that much, email attachments do. PDFs, photos, and other files people have sent to you over the months can add up to a few gigabytes, so go over your old correspondence and do some spring cleaning. Once again, log into your account at icloud.com. Click Mail.  Check your Inbox and delete anything you do not need. Right-click an email and choose Trash Message.  Step 5. Delete outdated backups Having iCloud automatically back up your iPhone on a regular basis is a great way to keep your data intact in case something happens to the phone. But the only backup you’re going to need in this case is the most recent one, so there’s no reason to store backups made months ago. This is how you access all your device backups and delete outdated ones: On your Mac, go to System Settings > Apple ID > iCloud. Click Manage and then Backups. Select a backup you want to remove and then click Delete. Step 6. Delete messages and email attachments from iCloud Old messages and attachments also take up a lot of space, so it’s better to delete them. How to delete messages from iCloud? Like with all of the steps above, there are different ways for iPhone and Mac. We’ll start with removing email attachments on Mac and then switch to deleting old messages and message attachments on both Mac and iPhone. In the Mail app on your Mac:  Open Mail.  Select one or several messages. You can also press Command + A to select all messages. Click Message > Remove Attachment(s). Repeat for all mailboxes.  Now, let’s proceed with messages. On your Mac:  Open the Messages app. Right-click the conversation you want to delete and choose Delete. Confirm the deletion. Now, click View > Recently Deleted and delete unneeded conversations once and for all.
    • Last year was torn down enough for me. If they made any progress out of it wtf do you want to just toss it? You keep the best parts upgrade the weak ones. 
    • I was about to say, if Ian Thomas is around none of our TE's has to prove anything.
