The eternal QB debate (merged)

My favorite was "Crompton goes left and the team goes right!!"

Having said that I am on the Lane Train again....he is doing the best he can with what he has. He has a plan to take us to the top and keep us there...so GO VOLS!!! :)

Where are the fumbling during handoff stats???

How many times have you've fumbled a snap? Or have you've ever played before. I believe JC has only fumbled 1 snap this year or are you counting last year too. If so, last year is last year..I don't think he is that good but why waste your time bashing the guy when its not going to help any thing...?

9 pages so I am not going to read them and just assume some people laughed at you for comparing the USF QB who ran for 5000 yards and played incredibly against FSU to Crompton who missed open receivers with idiotic throws that were high and others that were low and almost killed us with a fumble that looked completely retarded.

Crompton looks like dog crap. When he plays like the 10th best QB in the SEC against a worse team than any faced by the other QBs this week (except maybe Rice, and maybe not definitely) you look dumb defending him.

Yes we all know Crompton is not a good QB but he is the best we have on the roster at this time. What do expect him to do step down? Two different coaching staffs have made the decision to play this guy over the others so Common sense tells me since these coaches do this for a living and I have to play to get in the gate like all of you they know what they are doing. Kiffin is just working with the hand he was dealt it will get better give it time. Sometimes you have to be a fan and not a customer

.....from me. It's apparent that JC doesn't have the skills necessary to be a winning QB in the SEC, but the guy does have courage. How many of us could walk onto a football field knowing that your own fans will boo you before the day is over. It takes courage to try to compete when everything is going against you. If Kiffin wants to continue playing Crompton, then blame Kiffin. It's up to the coach to make a change, not up to the QB to take himself out of the game, unless he's injured. If the fans would show more support for Crompton from now on, he just might get better. If not, so be it.

well said, still think lk knows who is the better qb on the team. I don't think any of us fans should decide who the QB should be, we may think we know who to play, not so. Go Vols

I'm just sick of all the attacks, I wish some of you Negavol idiots would go under center, that would be a real treat. Just STFU and support the Vols. I wouldn't doubt Kiffin jumping at his first opp to get out of here. He said it was shocking the way the personal attacks from our fanbase are aimed at Jonathon. Get a freaking life, I hope some of your kids end up in the same position. Dammit he is a kid and loves the Vols. He might not be the best QB, but I'll bet my house he is a better human being then those attacking him on the internet!!!! It takes a real brave soul to bash a kid via a keyboard!

He got a full scholarship to play better than this.

So did the defensive unit... as well as a lot of the special teams unit.

I just watched the game on espn360.. and maybe I saw a different game than most of you, but I thought Crompton had a pretty good game all in all. Yeah yeah yeah, he threw a few bad ones.. guess what.. Payton Manning doesn't complete every pass. Neither does Brett Farve.. and the latter even holds the NFL record for interceptions. As far as the fumble that we lucked out on.. did any of the bashers notice that he got hit by 3 guys? I gotta give the kid props for trying to make something happen. He has stood in there a lot of times when the entire student body is coming after him and he has shown poise... yes poise... and made some nice plays. Some of you guys that insist JC is the root of all our problems are so blinded by your hatred of him that he could win a game singlehandedly and you wouldn't notice. Or.. your excuse is that well.. this was OHIO... they played a pretty damn fine ballgame too in case you didn't see that. Sad really.... and you call yourselves fans. Flame away.

I find it humorous that the Cromptonites employ the exact same logic that the Fulmerites used for years. Yes. Fulmer is not the greatest coach to ever walk the earth, but if we fire him we could end up even worse. They're terrified of change.

Anyone saying that Nick Stevens should start should just be quiet. We all know Kiffin's answer. I don't think he cares what some message board posting troll thinks. Also, if Nick is so great, why didn't he turn things around last year. I know, he was too busy throwing picks against Wyoming. By the way, I think both of them suck so i don't care who plays.

The fans that were heckling Crompton's family should be excommunicated from the Vol family. They deserve to root for a team that goes 0-12. Those guys are just kids, even if they aren't very good. If we boo and tell them they suck, that will surely help their confidence. That also will sound good to any recruits we have in attendance. "Wow mom and dad, i want to go to Tennessee where their fans will boo me and say i suck if i screw up."

With all that said, GO VOLS, RUN RUN RUN, and beat Auburn.

I feel sorry for Nick, but Kiff is more stupidly hard headed about this than Coach Fulmer was. All the great recruiting in the world will not do when you don't let your backup even have a shot. Kiff is the guy that says the playing field is level for competition, but he will not give the backup a try when the starter predictably chokes.

There is something wrong with Crompton's depth perception. Every throw is high, hot and late. I can't imagine how demoralizing his mistakes are since the whole team must expect them, especially when the pressure mounts.

Poor kid but, WAKE UP KIFFEN!!!

Every throw? Every single one? I'm certainly glad you aren't breaking down tape for us coach. I'm pretty sure that CLK knows alot more about this team than you ever will so go back to chasing moose out of your front yard.

I hate seeing this thread title on the board.

Me too. Last time I checked Crompton wasn't on the kick off coverage team that gave up a touchdown against Ohio. Last I saw Crompton isin't on the defense, the defense that let receivers run loose wide open in the secondary. Finally, Crompton isin't the guy coming up with the game plan. Instead of coming out and pounding the rock and getting the game under control by the half, CLK decided this would be a good time to work on the passing game. Instead of getting to see Stevens, Poole etc... in the 4th quarter, UT was still fighting to win the game. In doing so Reviez gets hurt, Hardesty already dinged up has to come in and takeover and pull the victory out for CLK. There's enough blame to go around. I know this isin't the place, but those "fans" that say negative things within earshot of JC's parents should be taken out on the fifty and shot in front of the entire crowd. That would be a great half time show!

I am far from a Cromptonite I know he not even a decent college QB but he is a human people heckling him and calling him names because he doesn't have what it takes is childish. Fulmer was a grown man not getting his job done which he was paid for.

This was your statement, correct?

After re-watching the game I really didn't think Crompton played poorly. I would say about average. Thing is, had Stephens started the game and had the exact same stats there would be quite a few on here talking about what a good game he had.

I agree. The title of this thread is just the opposite of what I think. JC is doing the best he can do, and, personally, I admire him for toughing it out for these past couple of years with the death threats, etc. that he supposedly recieved last year. There is no way that anybody is going to go to the coach and ask to be removed unless they are sick or something.

I agree.:good!:

I hope that he is able to get some big wins for us the rest of the way so that he can hear fans cheer for him as he runs through the "T" for the last time....it should be special for him...it was his dream...we gave him the scholarship...we should respect him the rest of the year!

I will go a step further...I challenge everyone to DOG OUT anyone that posts another Crompton Sux thread!!!...Enough is enough...it doesn't help

GO VOLS!!!
