Well, see the thing is... a bunch of Vol fans are flawless in their performance on the job. And its a good thing, because these Vol fans have very exciting jobs, in which 100k people watch their every move, dissect their every decision, and devote enormous amounts of time and emotional energy towards the success at such job.

If Crompton could perform at the same level these fans do in their Jiffylube, Quality Inn call center and rest stop janitorial duties, dang, we'd be in good shape.

That's a pretty stupid assumptionthere,Hoss. Besides, if my garbage man (I pay for my service) spilled garbage in my driveway every week I'd fire him. ESPECIALLY if it was the bags fault the when I asked him about it FOR FOUR YEARS.

Did anybody else besides me notice Crompton went the wrong way on handoffs twice? Once when he had to roll out and got a yard maybe after the botched play and then once late in the fourth quarter when he managed to make up for it and get to ball to Brown (I think)?

You're probably right. A 5th year Senior quarterback probably went the wrong way. Not the Freshman running back.

Crompton can't read defenses, but I'm pretty sure he's got a handle on the playbook.

You can discontinue service with said company but you can't fire the man who works for the company. BTW after you fire the service you can take your own garbage out.

He's a 5* bust for sure. But he's the best we have. All the whining and complaining won't change that

How many interceptions of Crompton's 8 have been passes thrown to Gerald Jones? Funny thing after 4 days of throwing Crompton under the bus Jones admitted three wrong routes and cutting another flat but hell let Crompton take the fall. No Crompton is not Peyton Manning but you same people were yelling and screaming for JC when EA was starting. GROW UP!!

Shhhh. Only Quarterbacks and Arian Foster have ever done anything wrong while wearing the Orange and White.

Not blocking, reads, routes, coverage. When it was Clausen they wanted someone else, even though he lost 1 game on the road. When it was Ainge, they wanted Schaeffer. When it was Ainge against, they wanted Rick. Then they wanted Crompton.

The thing is, "they" don't have a clue. Crompton isn't very good, but he sure as hell shouldn't take all the blame. There are 10 other guys on the field with him missing blocks, running the wrong routes, etc.

I agree. I need to stop bashing him. It's apparent he can do no better on the field. Wished he would take some credit for bad play though and not brush it off and say it's just the way the game is played! Guess I will turn off the radio when he is interviewed so I don't bash him again.
I will try my best to stop it.

I'm with you. I wish "like heck" he had improved even a TAD over the years, but he's gotten worse. You could have never convinced me, after he came into the LSU game that he would digress to this point. I hate, hate, HATE it for the kid. I don't, however, like what he says in every single interview. HE JUST DOES'NT GET IT. PERIOD. Stupidity swirled with arrogance does not a warrior make. It's sad, really. All the tools except the one that can make the difference. Plain and simple. It is what it is. Don't ask me to like it. I don't think this is even fair to the kid.

There was a Crompton chant (a positive one that is) going for the final drive of the UCLA game, even as horrid as he had played. Whenever I cuss the TV or at a game, it is more directed at Kiffin for not trying something else but in the end, we don't have much better on campus so I have toned it down quite a bit. Just hoping it doesn't cost us too many games down the stretch.

lol you guys just give up. He will not just bench his self, and i dont see CLK benching him ether, which i respect. This is the kids last season, then he will be gone.

I highly doubt recruits are looking at him and saying to there selves im not going there cause of crompton. If you actually pay attention and watch the kid throw, he throws like a freaking rocket, it just so happens a lot of the times there off target. but when he hits his target there freaking beautiful pass's'.
Look at his pass coach. i mean look who he learned from. fulmer was scared to face teams. and now crompton blacks out when put in the ring. See a connection?

heck i think the kid has improved a lot under clk, but its just to late. had this been his freshman year. im willing to put money on it he would be a bad freakin QB learning under clk

with that being said. there is nothing you can really do. your not the coach and you dont make the calls. so get over it. The only thing you can do is sit and :cray: about it, which is getting pretty annoying. But there is nothing i can do about that as im just a forum member.

these crompton sucks threads are a waste of space on the web hosting..
Just let it goooooooooooo :flush:

It seems that if you're going to criticize someone's physical play that you ought to at least be smart enough to spell or proof your own darn post.

Yeah, well, I don't pay money to follow him around and watch him do his job either. Guys, we are talking about the consistantly worst qb I've evr seen take the field this many times for ANY college program. It's worse every year. Did anyone notice the look on Vlads face fron the sideline after he rolled out, had ten yards of space, half that to the marker and fire it into the upper deck? Does anyone see the recievers looks on some of the asinine throws he makes? Does ANYONE wonder why the recievers seem SO under whelmed? It's sad. BTW, Gman, glad you said something....I gotta get the garbage to the road :)

crompton sucks, he is an embarassment to tenn football. supposedly he is a great practice player, but if it doesnt transfer over into games, lets put stephens in and see what happens....cant get any worse.

Crompton wouldn't even come close to being bashed if he acted somewhat like a serviceable QB and learned that you have to have some type of touch on your passes. His passes have no touch and his throwing motion leaves much to be desired. If he had any idea how to read defenses, he would be much better. His WHOLE problem is though he has only played one full season since HS. If he plays his sophomore season and beats out Ainge, he would be much better at this point. Even with that being said, even I understand that he needs to protect the ball and he just hasn't done that very well this season.

The funny thing about your response is that neither one of us knows which words you meant to intentionally misspell :)

And jump on the whats up with our receivers train. I mean can they play physical at all. Will Gerald Jones continue to be the worst starting receiver in the sec. He gave that pic to Ohio's linebacker in the first qtr. He went out of bounds in the end zone the week before. Brandon "I am hurt" Warren. My whole point is that we have a lot of problems. Blaming only Crompton shows how little you see of UT FOOTBALL as a whole. We will continue to get better, but we need help all over the field not just at qb

All I can say is I am not happy about his play but I am man enough to say all this bashing is not helping the matter. CLK has zero confidence in Stephens which tells me under this offense Stephens is even worse then JC. I am sure players and recruits read these boards and all the negativity cannot be good for us in the long haul. Just because we don't see them post does not mean their not here. I would rather offer a helping hand to someone who is down then to throw rocks at them.
