I think 3...Qe7 is also good for Black and hard for White to meet

Well, as mentioned, some people believes that.

However, the line is not forced, and GM Müller and FM Voigt recommends 1.e4 e5 2.d4!? exd4 3.c3!? dxc3 4.Nxc3!?. The safest course is actually Capablanca defence which is:1.e4 e5 2.d4!? exd4 3.c3!? d5

The black is slighty better because of the pawn advantage on the queenside.
