My guy...
He's the most competitive kid on the team... Not necessarily a great thrower, but a heck of an athlete... He's a runner, that I intend to teach to throw the ball. Usually not the fastest, or strongest, but perfoms well in each of the categories... usually gets better as the competitiion continues.
More importantly, he's that guy... the selfless hard worker, humble to a fault, yet, still has the bite of a pitbull when things aren't going his way. The quiet leader... doesn't say much, but when he speaks, all the kids listen... even that jerk kid on defense that beats everybody up.

A rising sophmore who started every game as a freshman. Led us to a 6-4 record, 2 losses were by one point. He's gonna be a good one if he keeps working!!

Ours played a little last year when our senior had some "problems".
I've never seen a guy be so good in practice and seven on seven and completely fall apart in the game time. Fast, Tall, Strong, Heck of an arm. Don't know if it was his age or what, but games were definitely not his strong point.
He'll be a year older next year, maybe he'll grow into half the player in a game as he is in practice once he gets more comfortable out there and people trust him more.

Our varsity kid was a sophomore last year. He has a freakin' great arm. Slings out to the flat faster than a speeding bullet. He's much shorter than other QB's in the area at 5'9"-5'10". He truly is a diamond in the rough. He is above average in the intelligence department, is mobile and shows flashes of brilliance at his position. He doesn't have leadership, quality family support or any one to look out for him to make sure he reaches his potential.

Will be a senior, this year was his first year as a starter, he threw for 1800 yards and 20 td's...12 INTS!!!We didn't have that good of a year as a team though. He is the varisty's 6th man, the starting shortstop and #1 starter for the baseball team. 5'8", 165. Great kid....Not a lot of actual football smarts...Doesn't watch a lot of football...

We have three (we are a Single Wing... so this really doesn't count as a QB):
Senior- Had a DI RB to give the ball to for the past two years. Made few mistakes. Not big (6'0 150#), decent speed. Durability of thin glass.
Sophomore- Started as QB (under center) for three games. More of a TB than a QB type. Best receiver on team. Potentially best runner.
Freshman- Carbon copy of Sophomore... a bit slower and a lot tougher.
We have no true "QB". Went to the Single wing in week 5 (ran it on a few occasions previously). Will likely stay in that set because we have no "true" QB. A lot of TB/WB types here.

Ours will be a senior. Very good arm with slow feet. He needs to grow up and mature mentally and make a comittment. Very accurate and is excellent on play-action. The quicker he can get the ball out of his hands the better he will be. Looking at changing our quick game a little and adding more play action with less 5 step, hoping this will allow him to have more success.
Our 9th and 10th grade QB's are both very athletic and great kids. Look forward to working with them, and we may have a former player moving back to town and his son is a 6'-3" 180lb 8th grade QB right now!!

QB whats that?? LOL Next year ours will be a kid who until last year never played the position. Started all of our JV games, had a winning record4-3. He is good athlete, but never even through a ball until spring of frosh year. He has played a lot of varsity defense though as a SS/LB type------when he throws an INT he is usually the first on the hit----kinda hot head which scares me. Very coachable but bad temper and we are working hard in weight room on this
We are an option team so throwing does not need be a strong suit

I have two:
Sr.- about 5'9" 150, great attitude, excellent feet and speed, good leader. Very humble, just a great kid- but come game time, he gets nervous as heck. I hope he does better this year, I really want him to start. Oh, and when he gets nervous, he stutters REALLY bad- could be a slight problem with calling plays.
Junior- 6'2" 210- freaking specimen. GT student, great arm, cool as heck come game-time. Started last year as a sophomore. Footwork needs work, not too good of a leader, not too much of a team player. Filled in for the other QB when his nerves got the best of him. Threw for over 1,000 (pretty doggone good for a Wing-T'er). Problem is, his dad is filling his head with all kind of crap, and the kid's head is getting swollen as hell. The kid is beginning to think he's above everyone on the team and it's really starting to get on my nerves. I talk to him about being humble- and then he gets home and listens to his dad tell him how he's the best QB in the #$#)(% state!!
It's that kid of crap that really gets to me.

He's a sophomore who started the last 4 games for us last season and went 3-1 after taking over for a senior. He's 5'10 165 and sneaky fast. He runs the option very well and finds a way to make things happen. He doesn't have a great arm, but the ball gets there and more importantly he makes the right reads. He's also a coach's son (not on our staff) who has been around the game his whole life. The best way to describe him is that he is creative, which can be very good and very frustrating at times. And he is definitely a leader the other players follow.

JD - did you convince my QB to transfer to your program? Description is of the same kid.

Mine started as a freshman and played as well as he could behind a terrible O line. He could very easily be our team captain and I am installing the spread offense to center my offense around his leadership and playmaking abilities. |

Junior who start against the number 5 team in the state as a sophomore last year (7-11, 90 yards, 1 TD---we lost 14-12). Hardworking farm boy with good leadership skills. Kids really hop around and play hard with him on the field. Running is his strong suit. Throws a good short ball (slants, flats, hitch), but got snake bit on JV when he underthrew the flag on some smash routes (didn't help our JV O-line was paper). He's accurate, we just need to work the down the field stuff. Best attribute is he's tough; step and throw and get drilled and jump right back up. Nice change after having a wet noodle at QB last season.

3 QBs. My #1 is my teams best athelete and he's a smart kid. Leadership leaves something to be desired...he's a great, respectful kid, just WAY to quiet a kid.
My #2 and #3 aren't that much far behind athletically...but lose out more-so in the brains department.
Weirdest thing? All 3 are left handed.

Our QB started every game this year as a soph. Broke all of our season records and a couple of career ones. 5'10 decent quicks, good arm and very good head. Competitive (maybe a bit reckless but we can fix that) and a fairly good leader.
Our back up is the same age but is 6'3, has a GREAT arm, and his speed is .... glacial! I've never seen a kid with such slow feet! We do everything - he's actually gotten faster - but he is still way to slow for what we do. The other kid is a good passer and does everything else very well so that's why he is the starter.

Our guy started ever game as a sophomore. He's 6'1" 195 and has decent speed, about a 4.7. He's not a burner when he runs but he's strong and has really good instincts. He has a good arm, is a great kid who wants to get better, and works really hard in the weight room. In short, we really like him.

We have three:
1. Big, athletic dude (6'2-3", maybe 190). Will be a senior next year. Runs well, reads the option, decent arm. Played RB, WR, OLB, and CB as a junior depending on where we needed him. He'll probably do more of the same next year.
2. Tall, athletic dude who has a cannon and uses it, even when he doesn't have to. Struggles with the option and is the only one of the three who doesn't lift much. He can run and jump ok, so he'll probably just play receiver next year.
3. Little athletic dude (5'9" 150 or so). Junior next year. Head coach's son and smart as heck; he's been watching film since before he was watching cartoons. He can run and throw and lead (8-1 JV with some gutsy wins). By far the most polished of the three, so he'll probably start and the other two will play elsewhere.

Alright, here we go. His name is T.Q. Mims. tq stand for Tequannonenon? Funny thing is that his brother's(different dads) name is Tequanterrion and they call him T.Q as well.. lol.. So we had a Tq Mims and a Tq Harrison.. We called Mims by his last name though.. Ok.. the kid was a sophomore this year and played on the freshmen team last year as a corner back.. We lost a really good QB and his backup last year to graduation.. So we had no QBs at all.. and we found this guy during the off season during some flag football games.. 6'1 180.. 4.8 forty.. Smartest football player we have had since I have been here in 7 years. Knew every route everyone ran on every play within a week. Knew how to read defenses as well as understanding what and why we wanted to do what we wanted to do.. He just took the ACT and I am eagerly awaiting his scores.. I would be shocked more if it was under 20 than if it were a 25. He passed for 2400 yards and 30tds in his first year ever as a QB. He only had 5 interceptions. He led his team to the best record in 25 years and to a semifinal match against the eventual state champs. In the quarterfinals we played a team who had been there 4 years in a row. They used to be in our district and consistantly kicked our butts by 30+. Well on the night he threw for just under 300 yards, 4tds, and ran for 2 and a 2pt conversion. The kid has a huge arm and is very accurate. He can stand on the 50 and throw the ball through the uprights. He is still growing and might top out in the 6'2-6'3 range.. Here are his highlights from this year.. |

My dilemma. Don't have really have a Q.B. in the upper levels. Best prospect will be a freshman. 6 ft. 165 lbs. fast, smart, is in the weight room, already as strong as most of the upper classes. Already a leader type kid that the older kids respect. Is picking up how to read the secondary. We run the option and he is learning reads there also. My only worry, is toughness. Can he take a hit at the varsity level. If he gets hurt, I really don't have a back-up."ouch!" We will see what happens. Would you start this kid? bluecrazy.

I will have 2 jrs adn 2 soph qbs for the fall. JRs #1 6'2" 185 and can throw and run like I ordered him from Burger King a real special order runs 4.9 strong and explosive, rehabbing knee injury. 2nd JR 5' 11" 175 can run and throw very limited experience. Sophs are carbon copies 5'10" 150 both can throw and one needs to be taught how to run. All four have bought into the five wide system. The future looks good.

Our QB has took over in week 7 of his sophomore season. Has lead us to 18-3 record. All-State last year with a state championship. Has an absolute rifle, makes some plays that just makes you wonder how he did it. Threw for 2800 yards & 34 TDs as a Junior.
Started our QB meetings, and gave him a cut-up on his incompletions, missed assisgnments and interceptions. He is driven to get better. Has D-1 talent, but not the prototypical size...He is more along the lines of Chris Leak & Troy Smith in build. 5'11" 190 lbs.
Will break every school passing record, if he remains healthy.
