Test taker?
I heard they set up a speical test for him at tOSU. He and another player. The school wanted to make it easy on them so it was a verbal test. First question: 'How do you spell the word "Farm"? Used in a sentence "Old McDonald had a farm.'
CJ is stunned. Doesn't know what to do. So he whispers to the other player. "how do you spell 'farm?'" the other player says "CJ, that's easy. E. I. E. I. O."
Seriously, CJ was a really good QB for them and beat us several times. He is a fine decision-maker. I wouldn't let that keep me from drafting him. I'd only consider it if I was torn between him and someone else.

Time will tell. Obviously, none of us know what the real deal is regarding this test, but we do know one thing. If CJ is a successful NFL QB, he'll be the first one from OSU. Best of luck to the young man
I've watched Stroud pick apart defenses more than any other QB in this draft than Young.
I've watched almost every other QB in this draft play like they have no realization that pass rushers are coming in 3 seconds.
The biggest knock on Stroud is he's played 5 tough games in his college career. The rest he was on an all star team playing 7v7.

I agree with this
I will say though I don't think his response helped matters
He'll still be off the board by 5 IMO--I'm guessing someone moves up to 3 (Tennessee or Tampa) to take him
If you read the original article, no QB that has scored under 60% on this test has gone on to have L/T success in the NFL - not most, 100% correlation to doing poorly on this test and NFL failure. And Stroud didn't just do poorly, he complete shat the bed with a score in the mid-20% range. There have been QBs that score well that fail in the league, but there has never been a QB that scored below 60% that has found success in the league. It's 100% correlation to failure is why the scouts sent out a "red alert".
I didn't argue any of that. I commented on multiple games this year (including Michigan and us) that I don't think he reads defenses well.
Supposedly Arizona is trading 3/Hopkins to Tennessee so we'll see how Stroud does unless they want Levis. Can't see them taking Richardson
Did he use a teleprompter to answer questions? Did he have a cheat sheet with prescreened questions? Did he have someone there to help him with his answers? Did he have the Easter Bunny shield him from more questions?
Sorry….my bad……could help myself😈
Will show myself out……..🤐

Amen. I hope the Texans at least sent him to a neurologist or tried to find some other explanation for that incredibly low score. I would be afraid he has some sort of significant brain damage--like, "not able to fish your Johnson out of your pants in time to keep from wetting yourself" brain damage.
Somebody shoulda told Henderson there is a difference between being actually dumb, on the one hand, and a LOOZIANA goober on the other. But Henderson might have been too dumb to understand.
