Impressive QBs through Week 3

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We're three weeks through the 2024 season, and we've seen some solid QB performances through these beginning stages of the season. Here are seven QBs who have impressed me! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["119260"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66ea290c81e67"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jaxson is a weekly inclusion at this point. I mean, I'm going to watch what he does every week, so why not write about him while I'm at it? </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It's Jaxson's third start and, on paper, the worst defense he's faced. His first three highlights show Jaxson hit some wide-open deep bombs. Across the board, those deep shots show solid accuracy, but they are not perfect quite yet. Later in the tape, Jaxson showcases great quick game where he delivers a quick strike to his first read. Also, he shows off his athleticism on a handful of carries. I'm actually surprised he only had 24 yards on the ground. It's also notable that he threw an interception, so I'm wondering how that pick played out. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://x.com/jaxsondosh2026/status/1835837688844366285">(1) [player_tooltip player_id='119260' first='Jaxson' last='Dosh'] on X: "@alex_pallone 13/18 224 yds 4 tds, 1 int 24 yds on the ground. https://t.co/SF0ZJXrlVN" / X</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["963843"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66ea290c81ee5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Nehemiah only has four highlights on his Twitter, but the highlights are quite impressive.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The first highlight shows off exceptional play extension and a very big arm. While I don't like that he scrambled that far backward, I am incredibly impressed by the elusiveness and the fact he found a man open across the field. The second highlight shows a solid on-time pass, and his receiver earn some good YAC. The fourth highlight further showcases the big arm, and I really like the accuracy of that ball. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This is a very, very intriguing freshman Quarterback. He looks well on his way to being ranked, and this offseason may dictate if he earns any early offers. Just based on the highlights, I definitely see D2 upside at the very least. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/n3m0qb1/status/1835412875654865383","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/n3m0qb1/status/1835412875654865383 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["566987"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66ea290c81f30"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I watched Ryland's 4th-quarter performance last week, and I actually just wrote about him. Still, it's nice to see the full week 3 tape. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Take a look at the run at 0:05. First off, excellent blocking leading toward that wide-open hole. Second, Ryalnd displayed good vision in the open field as he turned up field and nearly broke it for a TD. 0:42 is another play that shows tremendous blocking from Adams but also a great, tough run Ryland also had a few passes, where he hit the wide-open receiver. The pass at 1:10 is probably where he had the tightest coverage.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ryland also had a few good defensive plays. Notably, he's a very hard-hitting outside linebacker. I like his tackling, and he looks like he reacts to the outside run very well. I look forward to seeing much more defensive tape from Ryland in the near future. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/RylandWatters/status/1835132738640175611","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/RylandWatters/status/1835132738640175611 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["899481"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66ea290c81f76"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This is the first I've seen from the Lansing Catholic signal caller this season. All in all, a good performance against Charlotte. Let's break it down. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Alex's first highlight is one of the best of his career. He steps up in the pocket, evades more pressure, then finds a man over the middle of the field, and it ends up being a TD pass. Props to him for staying calm in the pocket- that patience paid off! The highlight at 1:20 shows something similar- Alex is patient and eventually finds his receiver on the crossing route. All in all, Alex is a solid playmaker. He's able to evade pressure, has overall great pocket presence, and has a knack for finding guys off-schedule. I'd stll like to see better arm strength and fundamentals, but Alex is still a great QB in Division 6. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/16475781/66e87402995ee7181696e89a' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66ea290c820f3"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["944415"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66ea290c8213c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Drew had an awe-inspiring performance against a historically difficult opponent. His first highlight shows off an excellent deep ball. Seriously, if this ball is anything but perfect, it's incomplete at best and a turnover at worst. Better yet, he made that throw with pressure in his face. The second highlight showcases his throw on the run, which again showed off some good zip and accuracy. This is my first time watching any high school tape of Drew's, and I've got to say, it's impressive. I can't wait to see what Drew can develop into by the end of his career- true Power 4 upside here. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://twitter.com/drewsheridan9/status/1835376978376937826">https://twitter.com/drewsheridan9/status/1835376978376937826</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1262603"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66ea290c82182"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Wynn's week 3 highlight tape is short, but pretty impressive in some areas. His first highlight is definitely his bast- showcasing a great ball to a seam down the right hash. At 0:20, Wynn tucks it and takes off, showing what he can do with his legs. Overall, it seemed like a very productive performance for Wynn. I'd love to see a bit better fundamentals in the future, but hey, the most important thing is that Dow gets the W. I'm looking forward to seeing that Wynn is able to accomplish in the near future! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/Wdiegs11/status/1835666889936130227","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/Wdiegs11/status/1835666889936130227 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1315775"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66ea290c821c6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">25-37, 291yd, 3TDs</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Madix had himself a very nice week 3 performance, and I'm happy that Vassar is opting to throw the ball at a high volume. His Twitter shows a few of his throws, but he doesn't currently have anything up on Hudl. His first two highlights show decent passes to the flat/shallow crosser, while the last highlight shows off a strike to the middle of the field. Considering his stats, I don't have near the full picture, but what I do see is promising. <br>I was able to watch Madix at the Gateway to North showcase back in the summer, and I was incredibly impressed with his performance there. I hope to see even more from Madix this season and I hope to see him again this offseason! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://twitter.com/MadixG15/status/1835343045790683234">https://twitter.com/MadixG15/status/1835343045790683234</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
