Is Crompton The Starter For Sure Next Year Or......

Here's what I know: Nobody on this board knows how good any given player is nor can they assess that player's potential. People go by what others posts here and back in the spring people were saying Coleman reminds them of Peyton (tall, blonde hair is about all that reminds me of Peyton). Now everyone thinks Coleman is some type of next coming without even seeing this kid in game situation. From what I've seen on rivals videos his arm doesn't look that strong to me. The coaches know who the better player is and that is who will play regardless of their seniority.

Ask Jamal Lewis about that.

Crompton, barring injuries, will start the first game next season. The thing with Crompton is he's a gunslinger type QB, he's going to take chances with the ball. His arm strength has never gotten back to where it was before the surgery his freshman year. Now are those chances going to result in points or are they going to lead to turnovers due to a lack of arm strength? That is key.

Now, if Crompton goes to hell and starts to suck, Coleman will be the man. Coleman has the coach's love right now. He's supposedly the complete package. I know this, from having talked to him, he knows the playbook from front to back.

Stephens has a strong arm, but he's slow of foot. He also has had problems grasping the playbook from what I've been told.

There have been plenty of times where Fulmer has started freshman. Simply because a young man may be more talented that doesn't mean they are the better overall player. Most times freshman don't arrive until summer practice, have not gotten into college fb shape, have not gotten a grasp of the O, and are dealing with all of the other adjustments of college life. It takes a smart talented player to start as a freshman at a major university.

Ok. It does take a smart player to come in and play as a true freshman. I don't agree with anything else, but there is no use in explaining. Agree to disagree.

Two of the biggest knocks on Crompton and Stephens is that they can't grasp the playbook. Crompton refuses to make all his reads and just chucks it downfield into double coverage and Stephens can't get it down.

BJ Coleman will be the next great QB for UT. You heard it here third. (A couple of others have also prognosed it) He may be in the lowly shadows of depth right now, but you just wait. There's no need to question "why" I think so. It's a 50-50 guess. So there!!!!

After the loss to UF.

CPF, for better or worse, always seems to play older guys over younger guys regardless of how talented the younger guys are.

He is not unique in that. Most coaches do that. Moreno didn't start the year for UGA and how many are questioning CMR? The fact is with older players you know what you have and typically you work the ounger guys in to get a feel for what you have. That is smart coaching. We have seen CPF do the same thing as most other good coaches by doing exactly that. Let them work their way in.

That's why I said for better or worse. Hindsight is great.

i'd like to see coleman out there (i know i've seen that footwork somewhere else before...). the opening of the season is pretty rough next season though, so expereince could be important.

Look at Sam Bradford at Oklahoma.

Freshman QBs can come in and be very accurate, productive, and efficient, even if they aren't world-beaters

remember guys, JC was a huge commit also..
he was more highly rated than even Coleman was.
I remember some sites that even had him as a five star!

so to say that Coleman has the best overall talent, is not exactly true

Not saying Crompton will not go on to have a great two years here, but shoulder surgery has hurt his arm strength.

As to who is more talented, I'll take what the coaches say over Rivals or Scouts.

Rasputin, you posting an opinion in a QB thread would be like me trying to give my opinion to Alan Greenspan about the federal reserve. Your analysis on Ainge has caused most of us to just skip right over anything you have to say about the QB position.
Click to expand...

Yeah, because Ainge's performance over the past 6 quarters absolves him of everything that he's done (or hasn't accomplished) in the previous 3.5 years.

It's destroyed your theory that Ainge couldn't carry a team to victory.

Yeah, you are right. Ainge was responsible for the Vandy game winner falling short and he was also responsible for blocking the fg in overtime against KY.

I give Ainge all the praise. He pulled out wins against Vandy (after he finally showed up in the 4th quarter) and Ky (one of his better games of the season, I'll give him some credit for that).

Justin, thats excatly what i have heard Crompton called. A chucker. They say he does it daily at practice. Thats why i kinda thought Fulmer may look elsewhere. We know our offense is not exactly "chucker" material. I just think that Fulmer seems kinda anti gunslinger, does that make sense to you?

To follow that logic, the people who have seen the QB's take snaps all year long during practice (i.e. the coaches) sound more excited about Coleman than any other QB underclassman.

thats right seen coleman play his whole high school carrer here in chattanooga. kid can play, and as the one guy said earlier stephens makes poor decisions and as we know you make those with fulmer and you sit.
