re: CJ Stroud reportedly scored an 18 on the NFL's new S2 Cognition test

The most successful OSU QB had to transfer away from Ryan Day's system to prove himself.

I'm curious at what point that system ends up hurting them in recruiting. It's clearly a good system for CFB, but it doesn't translate to developing QBs for the NFL. Burrow was overtaken by Haskins b/c Haskins was a better fit in the super vertical offense (due to his cannon) and Burrow's FB intelligence was wasted on a simplistic (and rigid) system.

Lots of gimmick systems that helped college QBs still did develop their reading, like the Air Raid. It was just more of a horizontal approach, which can translate. The vertical one, which relies on your OL being much better than opposition, doesn't seem to work.
