The eternal QB debate (merged)

Better to die with honor than to live in shame?

What's the difference?

Life or death?

Winning or losing?

No matter what he does, he is probably going to finishing with a losing record.

Tennessee loses games they should win because of him. He sucks. A lot.

you truly don't see the difference between life and a game? You may need real help
 
The whole argument that Crompton is great in practice and beats out Stephens because of his practice performance is crap. Maybe Stephens just might play better in a game than this moron. Listening to this game on the radio is killing me. When we have the ball I'm just waiting for him to screw up again. I.E. a fumble for a TD. WOW.............. how else can he try to lose this game!!!! Thank God for instant replay.

Be honest here... if you're a 17 year old recruit attending this game... what's going through your mind? A stadium that fields 106,000 fans squeeking by a team that probably has a stadium that holds 25,000. It's all because of one player.
 
Ultimately, it is Kiffin's decision. Right now is the first time I seriously begin to wonder why is Kiffin leaving Crompton in this game. I know he wants to back his quarterback, but this guy is no TN Vols Quarterback. Kiffin pull him!

so you're saying you know alot more than the coaches?
You should send mike hamilton an e-mail; I'm sure he'd be glad to give you a job

Why do you take everything so literally?

You must have been one of the people offended by Kellen Winslow's comments. He is insane too.

The point is, anyone who wants to seen Tennessee winning... doesn't want Crompton here.

Go ahead and respect him for not quitting. I won't stop you nor do I care. He is going to sink the team this season and maybe the incoming class with it. His deciding factor in the win column may be the difference of 4 games. This team has the talent to win 9 games. Because of him, they may win 4 or 5. He is that bad.
 
We will be lucky to win 2 games this year in the SEC. I would rather stephens struggle and learn for possibly starting next year then watch crompton plague are team. Its starting to be a joke and making me REALLY QUESTION KIFFIN, whatever "STATEMENT" he is trying to make he needs to QUIT NOW!
 
Yes, Its on Kiffin. He should pull him and try Stephens. Kiffin going to end up making himself and Crompton look really bad. And I hate to say it, but if he plays him all year, he will be getting threads for is removal already and I like him.

I am wondering also. I always though Al Davis was a senile fool but continuing to play Crompton is the closest I've seen Kiffin coming to sinking this ship. Could sink fast because Crompton is horrible.

Also, anyone who thinks I'm over exaggerating and being too harsh.... I started a post after the WKU game wondering if Crompton could get in the heisman race by seasons end.

Like I said, I was on Crompton's side and thought this staff may right the ship but he is horrible.

Well myself I do not question Coach Kiffin on anything he does. I support him. Still does not change the fact that CROMPTON SUCKS AND I WOULD RATHER HAVE STEPHENS
 
no i get the football to war reference.

But pulling out can't really be a war reference...or at least not a really good one

When you want to save lives... or in this case recruits.

Obviously recruits don't compare to lost lives but I am questioning what Crompton's production is doing to convince incoming recruits. He looks horrific against a bad team. Looking bad against Florida and UCLA is one thing but Ohio?
 
I have seen enough of the poor decisions by J Crompton. Crompton does not know how to go through the natural progressions or get rid of the ball before he makes a huge game changing mistake. I truly thought Kiffin was a good hire, but if things don't change we will be lucky to go 5-7. I was in attendance for Auburn vs. West Virginia and we will have hands full next week. Auburn plays with emotion and their QB can hit his receivers down field. Crompton missed a wide open Teague in the first half and that is unacceptable.

I would have to answer yes.
1. Stares down receivers, giving cornerbacks across the country something to send to their momma.
2. Can't read blitz. has called three audibles his whole career.
3. Couldn't evade pass rush and run for one yard to save his life.
4. The most knocked down balls at line of scrimmage. Has to be a NCAA record.
5. Loser. Get's excited after an INT to rally troops. Execute you freak.

Kiffin is still a good hire. I know he doesn't have a lot to work with but after this game, I am finding it hard to believe Stephens or Lamaison could be worse. If Crompton isn't throwing the ball in the dirt, he is throwing it over their head and out of bounds. It's horrific.

point being

seriously - and ask yourself seriously, not just in anger - if nick stephens was really that much better, would he still be sitting on the bench at this point, after the way crompton's played these first 4 games? (and not just I dont like how crompton's playing answer)

the guy's been in before last season, and it's really near just as messy
 
well anyways, Tennessee is going to win and I am going out with my friends. I apologize for anyone I offended or upset but you should expect rants when you witness bad play out of one player for a season and a half. Hopefully Crompton does better against Auburn next week. Night everyone.

I agree completely. I like Kiffin, but he has to see that we are not progressing into a better team with Crompton. It is time to at least show us why Stephens or Lamaison are not playing. Our defense has struggled tonight giving up over 300 yds to a MAC QB.
 
Nick Stephens may not be better than Crompton, but he can at least use a poker bluff. He is not afraid to throw the ball down the field. He and Moore hooked up for a couple
50+ yd TDs last year. The defenses right now are putting 8 people in the box playing man coverage on UT receivers. WTF? Ohio should never be able to get away with that. Stephens will stretch it out and set up the run a little better and he checks to different receivers.
