CJ Stroud did poorly and along with being from OSU, may slide down the draft board. Bryce is off the chart they said, I think 93%.

All we know is that unless Trey or Darnold plays at the level Brock played out (which was borderline elite), they are not taking the job. But, if either one does, that is a great problem to have.

Unfortunately it would weaken Brock's trade value (because clearly if one of those two plays at Brock's level, you keep the guy with more physical talent). For the same reason drafting Trey weakened Jimmy's trade value.

Why does everything have to be if he's not the guy we gotta trade him? Brock makes peanuts for 3 more yrs. Lance is here for two years. We go through QBs like water. I'll bet money we see all 3 QBs play this yr during the season. Just how it goes. We got no idea who the starter will be.

Because if Trey supplants Brock, then Brock is a high draft pick just waiting to be acquired. But yes, having a great starter as a back up would be a good thing.

But the most likely scenario is Brock takes the job back in the fall, and whether or not we trade Trey depends on the compensation offered.

Almost every scenario that's been proposed as to why we should trade Trey just assumes Brock Purdy will stay healthy all season long... if that happens, we're probably a top 3 seed in the NFC. I don't think we'll have any regrets at that point. I know I wouldn't.

That's like drafting another RB in the 3rd round but CMC and Elijah Mitchell stay healthy all year. Sign me up for that!

We just went through five QBs last year: Trey, Jimmy, Brock, Johnson, and Brock's dead body.

Yeah and it's not like that's the only time we've dealt with a handful of QBs starting in a yr.

you'd think fans would have figured that s**t out by now.

also I'm wondering what the difference is between that S2 test and the wonderlic? Brock scored in the high 90s in the S2 test but was below avg in the wonderlic scoring a 23?

Wonderlic is basically an aptitude and cognitive test that tested their general intelligence and people said had nothing to do with football and has since been scraped.

The S2 test they said instead determines the speed at which players can process split-second information, and how fast they can act on it. They in front of a computer screen . Per the website of the creators-scientifically measures an athlete's game-speed cognitive abilities down to a millisecond level.

It instead determines the speed at which players can process split-second information, and how fast they can act on it.

Per the bargaining NFLPA- it can't be used at the combine or among current players. So it can only used at the Allstar-games.

Also per the website:
S2 Cognition helps athletes better understand why they excel and struggle in certain areas of their game by revealing how their brain is wired to perform. The S2 Eval is the only sports evaluation that scientifically measures an athlete's game-speed cognitive abilities down to a millisecond level — and provides tailored, on-field drills designed by top-level coaches to measurably improve performance.

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

Ally told The Athletic the three most important scores for quarterbacks in the test are tracking multiple objects; decision complexity; and improvisation. The scores for those three tasks, as well as the remaining six tests, are graded separately. They're then plugged into a formula to determine a player's overall score.

"It's like the decathlon. You don't have to win a single event, but you can actually win the decathlon," Ally told The Athletic. "It looks at the pattern of scores based on how others did on those nine tasks."

Per a February breakdown from The Athletic's Matt Barrows, one such test consists of a series of diamonds flashing on a screen for 16 milliseconds (the average human blinks in about 100 to 150 milliseconds). Test-takers must indicate which point of the diamond is missing by using one of the left, right, up or down keys.

Another test aims to see how many objects a test-taker can keep track of at the same time, while another asks them to locate one of 22 figures on the screen (such as a red triangle embedded in other red-hued shapes).

Thanks for all that info. It's interesting to see a bit of the nuts and bolts in that test.

BCG is becoming the face of the Bay Area sports.

The dudes asking for high fives need to chill.
