hey what's up everyone morey croson here and today i'm going to be breaking down the 2023
quarterback class we're going to start the video right now
this is the newest edition of the performance side reach your individual goals you don't want
to talk about straight lines we also want to talk about your delivery quick we break
down your video let's make you into the quarterback i know you can become
all right so this is going to be a fun video many people that are watching this probably note that
the top quarterbacks in this class there's been a lot of talk about them going into college just
because there are so many guys that seem to be really top tier quarterbacks guys that can go
and play potentially at the next level right away so we're going to get a little bit more into that
and just talk about some of the ratings we're going to start off with archer manning who is the
highest rated quarterback his rating is uh 0.999 basically the highest rating you can get as a
athlete according to 24 7 sports and and a lot of people have been talking about how with
arch manning how that it's kind of been one of those things where he's getting a lot of hype
because of his last name and you know there are some things that he does from a mechanic
perspective that i don't think are great you know and he does play some competition that is
not great and that's one of the things that i do want to say is like it's it's so hard to be able
to predict this type of stuff because there's just so much variability for the players and
we'll talk about a few different things here as we go through but you know arch manning there's some
times when he's playing and he just makes uh it just looks like he's playing against really
young athletes or guys that are a lot smaller not very experienced and there are some things from a
mechanical perspective that are not great you can see a ton of lean over here to the side he's also
not getting his hips out in front super well here uh also kind of lifting up through the chin as
is coming through uh almost kind of something similar to like a drew brees he does have an
effective arm he does get the ball there so you know he he's not bad from that perspective but
i i think that he ends up being somebody that um you know while he has a lot of i think he's going
to do well at the next level i think there's a lot of things that he's going to have to improve on in
order to get more out of the football i think his arm strength may not be you know where he wants
it to be here's an example where they you know he talks about where they talk about him kind of
trucking a bunch of defenders but the guys don't really look very big you know it doesn't look like
there's a bunch of big guys that he's running over here right like there's not very many guys
at alabama that look like this zero guys that look like that at alabama that are actually playing so
uh and now that texas is in that the sec they're they're gonna be going against some top defenders
uh and so it's just not gonna transfer over as well right uh and then we're gonna go ahead
and look at malachi nelson and valencia nelson to me right because arch manning is number one
right in terms of the overall rankings okay we're going to do that and these guys are in
order in terms of the top four i'm just going to do four today arch manning is going to be number
one number two is malachi nelson .9982 rating so really high rated as well malachi nelson has a
ton of arm strength a lot better from a mechanical perspective he does a good job loading into that
hip throwing the ball really a long way could probably do a better job of shifting his weight
all the way forward actually real quick let's see what the release time is here let's try
to get a good one this one we can see a little bit better okay so we'll start right there .62
and gets the ball out about point eight two okay so that would be 0.2 which would be you
know really phenomenal maybe it's going to be a little bit earlier maybe we start at 0.56 would
be the better spot when that front hand leaves the football okay but that's really efficient okay so
he definitely has a good nice efficient arm maybe one more so 0.86 yeah so it's probably closer
to point five six and then point eight six but again point three point two to point three ends
up being really really good right it's not much higher than point three so that's a very really
effect or a very effective release not very much wasted time going on there we'll take a look at
nelson's here 0.46 this is going to be a deeper throw so a lot of times we see these being a
little bit longer but the same type of thing right he's close to about that point three so not very
much wasted motion okay we see quarterbacks all the time that send videos in that are really
really delayed in kind of bringing that that arm back and being able to come all the way forward
you can see how effective he is at loading the football driving that elbow through and then
gets a very very effective wrist flick and follow through which is why he's able to throw the ball
with a lot behind it this is an example of you know where i mean it's a good throw gets the ball
out of his hands but that's going to end up being knocked down or potentially intercepted right
there at the next level right so uh again there's some things that that could definitely improve he
doesn't do a good job of being able to escape the pocket keep his eyes downfield you know there's a
lot of things that he does really really well and at the end we're going to go over and and talk
about who is probably the best overall you can see very good at being able to get that momentum
see how much better he does at being able to get that momentum in that lower body first and then is
able to you could probably do a better job being able to shift his body weight onto that front leg
but excellent job as he initiates that load now we're gonna go into the other two guys all right
on the right here we have nico ayamalieva who is from long beach paulie he's the number three
quarterback i'm just going to go with nico just because his last name is kind of difficult to
pronounce so nico here he is again number three number four overall number three quarterback 99.68
rating he's six five really really big guy uh and has a lot of of good intangibles as well he from a
load perspective doesn't look as solid right we'll go ahead and take a look to see his numbers .66
it's a ball out close to about point nine three so another guy that's around that that point three
point three three range so he's pretty quick and being able to get the ball out of his hands which
is really really good also does a good job being able to push off that back leg kind of steps off
to the side we've seen some video of him or in his highlights he has some video where he does
a good job of being able to get a lot of distance really picks up a nice long stride but this is you
know one of those plays where i mean it's on the highlight film but it's a super prevent play it
looks like to me it's like first in like 30 right we can't even see the the uh first down marker
he has absolutely no rush we zoom out more the safeties are probably about 25 yards off the
ball right and so and then this is just kind of like a 15 20 yard art not to say this wasn't a
great throw right because he threw about 25 30 yards on a line here but it's also something
that is not going to end up being a play that will be you know you're not really expecting that play
to be is super um you know that was probably right before half right so that that play was
not something that you could really look at and be like oh yeah great mechanics great throw blah blah
blah okay load here and again the thing that is to me a little bit inefficient is he keeps that
ball down gets that elbow up which means that as he drives that elbow through he's going to put a
lot more stress on the shoulder a lot more stress on the elbow and that might not be a sustainable
thing he might end up being able to work with it i do think being able to get the ball out of his
hands quicker is going to be much more effective for him long term it'll be interesting to see
how he does with different competition this is when he's at warren they i don't think they have
as tough as a schedule as long beach paulie uh so they played some teams i don't think were as good
he was able to get away with a lot more but yeah he needs to definitely improve his mechanics and
i mean he definitely has the arm strength and everything like that but but can get out of
the ball out of his hands a little bit more efficiently and is still a really really good
quarterback i think he needs to put on some weight overall too but he does a lot of things
really really well so the last one is going to be dante moore he is committed to oregon
number four quarterback and then number nine in the nation so again four top ten quarterbacks
99-5-4 getting according to 24-7 sports he won the elite 11 championship and of course uh nico
ayamolieva wasn't there or arch manning weren't there malachi nelson was there to me the the top
quarterbacks from watching the little bit of film not knowing a ton about all this stuff and that
would be my list right now the number one would be manning number two nelson number three uh nico
number four dante moore i think dr t moore looks really really impressive he's made a lot of great
throws here i mean look at how efficient that you can just see how effective it looks when guys have
a nice release 0.56 out of the ball or again it has the ball out around 0.86 so 0.3 all these
guys have faster releases okay and just if this is the first time you're watching one of our videos
we do these breakdowns so you can send in video to me and i'll break it down and explain to you
how to get the ball out of your hand quicker how to make it so you have a more effective
release because we see that a lot with guys that are trying to get to the next level you guys are
just really ineffective with your release and that makes it so one you are not going to be able to
put near as much on the on the football you're going to have a lot more inconsistency in terms
of the ball being potentially inaccurate things like that but another thing that ends up happening
is you you give yourself more opportunity as a quarterback you can get the ball your hands
faster so you can avoid the rest better you also get the ball on your hands faster so you can kind
of wait a little bit longer before having to make a choice you don't have to be as decisive when
you have good arm strength good accuracy quick release right because now you can read a little
bit more and you have that ability to throw 25 yards on a line and that's really what what top
programs are looking for and that's what i would be looking for too if i was a quarterback coach
you got to think about it from a quarterback coach perspective yeah you might be able to win a couple
games here and there in in a small area but who are you really looking for for as a quarterback
coaches looking to build a program you're looking for guys with arm strength you guys with talent
you're looking like with for guys that are able to potentially come right in and compete not somebody
that's going to be a potential pro project that needs to add a lot more weight put on a lot more
velocity within their throat and you know they might be able to win some games but that doesn't
transfer over like we talked about before you know like we we go i went back and looked at the 24 7
sports they ranked joe burrow who was the number one overall pick he was in his class the number 19
uh quarterback right so there's 18 quarterbacks that were ahead of him i think he was in like
250 or something like that in the uh entire in his draft or sorry in his recruiting class
and ended up being the number one some of the most valuable person there uh number two pick
zach wilson number 70 quarterback he almost was outside of the top 1000 quarter players in the
entire country in his class ended up being the second overall pick right can he pick it the
number 48 quarterback right ended up being the 20 overall pick the first quarterback picked in his
class right so it's hard to be able to predict this type of stuff but i mean dante moore to me in
a lot of ways has is a lot more polished there's a lot more of a guy that can show up right away and
play he's he's big he's able to really effectively transfer his weight he has great rotation through
the spine there's a lot of things that i think dante moore is able to do that that transfers
over same thing with malachi nelson malcolm nelson has a lot of the things that top top guys have
and and it looks like from me to to me like these games it looks like the competition's pretty good
that dante moore is playing against right like the the stands are packed uh they're both sides
have a lot of players all the players look like they're they're good-sized guys i mean we don't
get the same type of view as we do from you know when we're watching arch manning but it even looks
like their their program is well run right you can watch this and see that that the film is really
high quality film right it looks like he's part of a really good program which is another reason why
i think that he's going to have a lot more success okay and potentially have more success yeah so if
you watch this and like the information go ahead and click that thumbs up down below subscribe to
the channel again we do these breakdowns we have a lot of different professional quarterbacks that
we do this for as well today i wanted to go and do high school quarterbacks it's hard to be able to
predict exactly what's going to happen when guys are able to progress but what we can predict is
how you can improve as a quarterback what are the main things that you have to be able to really
focus on and a lot of it has to do with the wrist a lot of it has to do with how you're utilizing
your lower body and so those ends up being the main focuses that we put on within our breakdowns
and even within our videos you can go through and check out some of our videos if you want to after
watching this but big thing is that i highly recommend is if you can't throw the ball really
far right if you're struggling with the distance then definitely sign up for either a breakdown
or a program that's all in the description down below because it'll really give you a lot more
insight into how to throw the ball further that's a big thing that i did not get when i was younger
is the difference between how to throw the ball far in comparison how to throw the ball 20 to 25
yards a lot of us have good mechanics throwing the ball under 25 yards but struggle and being able to
add a lot more distance just because we don't understand the mechanics and same type of thing
with the release how can i improve my release time well there's some specifics that you have to be
able to do in order to make that happen we want to be able to go over that with you so yeah like the
video subscribe check out the description thanks for watching guys and we'll talk to you soon
