Were cromptons death threat verified??Oh yeah Crompton took a beating, death threats toward he and his family just a bunch of garbage, I was lucky enough to be around the program alot when Coach Fulmer was leading the guys, Johnathan and I were able to speak regularly and it truly was awful some of the things being said to him or about him, I love coach Fulmer but what Kiffin was able to do with him was incredible. I look at JG the same way I love the kid and he has talent he's just in his own head most of the time he'll be fine, he's a great guy and he truly has been putting in the time and work. Even after alot of the negatives toward him (some of which are warranted minus the name calling,booing etc.) He loves Tennessee and that says alot considering what he's endured here.
Brent Schaeffer vs Erik Ainge anybody?
Should've never been on the field that early, but he has to hold the record for least yards per attempt ever.Here's a picture of AJ Suggs throwing his 12th bubble screen behind the line of scrimmage against Florida

It should also remind them that their predictions are simply opinions and far from the way things actually play out. You never know who’s the best until they’ve all had equal opportunity.Majority of Vol fans wanted Brandon Stewart over Peyton Manning in the middle of their freshmen year.
That alone should disqualify Vol fans from bitchin about QBs.
This isn’t an “opinions on JG” thread, but I was just thinking back on all of the controversial, fan-dividing QB’s over the years. Have any one of them ever caused this much debating/arguing?
Crompton comes to mind. Casey Clausen maybe? Ainge? Inconsistency seems to be the key to sparking debates and JG is rolling in it.
Yep I wasn't on Volnation at the time but I remember a lot of complaints that he held the ball too long and took too many sacks. I always liked Casey but you also gotta remember our fan base was just spoiled with Heath Shuler, Peyton Manning and Tee Martin the decade before so fans were extremely nit picky.Ehhhh.... Clausen had his share of detractors for sure.
The point that was being made is we should have won that game even with the bad play from JG. Alontea Taylor getting lost and letting the WR run right past him sealed the deal. A missed tackle that would have kept BYU out of FG range finished it off. That being said, this thread went exactly where I figured it would.So JG can have multiple bad plays but the defense has one massive breakdown, so that gives JG a pass?

That would be a great game vs BYU not a good game. BYU was one of his worst games and still had us in position to win.I understand if you want to throw stats at me, and that 16&8 and 60% really isn’t bad. I think I can say 17-28 176 yards 2/1 vs BYU isn’t bad either when you look at the Box score after the game. The reality of watching that 2 td 1 pick game was that it was maybe his worst game other than UF. There’s no denying the 2 tds, they are in the books(although barely on the one to JJ), but why weren’t there 4 or 5 tds and maybe he’s 16-21 for 250-300 yards?
His turnovers aren’t really in abundance, but the timeliness of them has been catastrophic. So yeah, the stats are ok, but I don’t think they always tell the whole story.
I really hope he can take the next step(like Crompton did his SR year) and 16 becomes 24 and 8 maybe becomes 6. That’s 4/1 instead of 2/1. I don’t think that is unreasonable to ask of him as a Rs SR because I think that was attainable last season.

He was ok. He had some great games and a few bad games. That equals average. he was ok
Definitely agreeA lot of VN posters either forgot or didn't pay attention to the head case Crompton was coming in to that final season. His mojo or confidence level could get no lower. They ( Ithnk UTAD rather than Kiffen) scheduled him to work with the NFL's Sam Wyche during the off season to get his head back on straight. Granted Kiffen does deserve a lot of credit concerning Crompton's resurgence, but Wyche should get at least a pat on the back or mention in his recovery as well IMO.
C'mon kid. You have to be somewhat objective.That would be a great game vs BYU not a good game. BYU was one of his worst games and still had us in position to win.
