Interesting critique of Joe Milton's progression by former Tennessee quarterback Jonathan Crompton

[Volosaurus rex]

For anyone who may be interested, this video provides an interesting critique of Joe Milton's progression by former Tennessee quarterback Jonathan Crompton. Among the points that Crompton makes is that, yes, play-calling was, by all appearances, a bit more conservative against Clemson, but Milton's statistical productivity was on par with what Hooker averaged per game against a top-10 opponent no less.

Although some will completely disagree with this conclusion, "don't be surprised if he becomes a darkhorse candidate for the Heisman [in this system] by midway through next season." And "we will probably be ranked in the top five pre-season." From the sequel to the preceding video:

Crompton always gives really good insight. I'd like to see him on staff at Tennessee to some extent.

If anybody can give a true analysis of Milton, it's Crompdaddy. He endured more criticism than Milton, stayed despite it all, including death threats. Finally, got a coach who built him rather than tore him down, and it showed. I'd say all of that taught him to both see, and intimately know what a problem QB needs, and identify the progress made.

Curious what Ainge has to say about Milton

The dude kept trying and JC shut him down....
"What happened was somewhere in the middle"
Shut down with stats.
"I didn't feel that much different appears from Hendon being in there except they simplified the offense"
Explained it being conservative not simplified. There is a big difference.

Honestly JC looks so bored having to explain what was happening to the a sports writer who doesn't understand what he watched. JC changed the channel, but I am certain that Charlie wanted to dig at Milton.

Edit: he is 100% right on Clemson. Fulmer's HC downfall is Dabo's. He is stubborn as hell.

Thanks for posting this. Terrific insight from Crompton. Vols definitely are a contender in 2023.

If we Beat 5 home 1 road game

T A&M
and we are 6 & 0 heading to Gump land he will be on Heisman list even if his numbers are down. Why? ratings, here's how the movers & shakers think uhh HH is out nothing for us to gain on advertising $$$ for the invite let's put Bennett in the F4 it will help our pocketbook need as many F4 team players on the invite. Yep, that's the ticket now let's go smoke another cigar and keep on being fat & happy...

EA loves Milton. This year and last...and likely next year.

I appreciated how the broadcast was able to show him going through the read progression and looking off the safeties. Clemson put a lot of pressure on him but he still stood tall in the pocket and kept his focus. It’ll be fun to see what he can do with spring and preseason prep.

Great comments!!!!

Doing what?? I am not sure where you would but him. (what position)

Replace Bob on play by play?

Next year's Heisman is Cade Klubnik, did you not watch the game Friday night?

I would like to see him as a possible QB coach if Halze moves on in the future

The huge difference was speed of play. Milton was running plays half the tempo of Hooker. He needs to speed up to take full advantage of this system.

 

[TheDeeble]

Everything about Milton is set up for a huge year next year. 6’5” 245 lbs with the strongest arm in the county and entering his 3rd under Heupels coaching. We saw a lot of improvement from last year to this year in limited play.

I’d be excited if I were a receiver playing at Tennessee.

If we ever develop a stud pass catching TE ... woo boy

Or Mccarthy from Michigan. Mainly bc he will get so much tv time bc of his girlfriend. Immediately thought that dude will be on tv a lot next year.

 

[perico]

I wanted to see Crompton succeed Tim Priest. I’m not the biggest A2Z fan, but he’s excellent. He also picked us to go 10-2 or 11-1 (can’t remember his exact pick but it was 10+ wins this year) in the preseason and laid out why he saw that much success this year and turned out to be spot on.

Crompton, while he was a lightning rod here, is well spoken and doesn’t spout out stupid takes like his predecessor at QB (though I love Ainge too).

After watching the Michigan vs TCU game, I think Milton is a better QB than what Michigan played in the bowl game.

 

[loservol]

I like to see more of Milton pulling the ball down when no one is open and pulverizing the opposing teams defense next season.

I will never forget the beat-down he helped to deliver on the Dawgs. Good times!! No kid should ever have to endure what he went through leading up to that year

No offense, but I never, ever again want to hear any reference to that bogus, tin trophy given to the college football player the media elects every year. I want to see signs on campus and all around Neyland reading “NOTICE: THIS IS A HEISMAN-FREE ZONE. NO MENTION OF IT WILL BE TOLERATED.”

First, it was Johnny Majors they screwed. Then, it was Peyton Manning. And now, it’s Hendon Hooker, who (whom?) those pompous charlatans didn’t feel was even worthy of an invitation to New York. The process and the trophy itself are a travesty and a joke, respectively. Three times now those elitist swine-snobs have broadcast to the world what it thinks of the University of Tennessee football program.

They can all get a running start and come kiss my narrow, orange, Tennessee hindquarters. Then they can shove that useless hunk of metal up their own and set fire to it. Never again will I even listen to any talk about this completely irrelevant and meaningless charade.
