Stroud is going to be a great case study for the S2 testing. It’s supposed to more accurately measure some of the traits that make QBs great: processing speed and decision making, recognition, etc.
Stroud reportedly bombed the test, while Young aced it.
S2 proponents have said that a great score doesn’t guarantee success, but a terrible score virtually guarantees failure at the position.
All of that to say: some of the knocks on Stroud are that the OSU offense (and skill players) don’t always force him to make the split-second decisions that Young has had to make. S2 is supposed to fill in that gap.
But this is the first time we’ve had largely publicized S2 scores before players are actually drafted. So it will actually test the theories behind it in real time.
