Our problems go way beyond Jonathan Crompton. There is no reason in trying to appoint one person as the scape goat.
If Stephens or Coleman were any better, one of them would have at least solidified himself as the clear cut #2.
We're better off with Gerald Jones at QB.
I disagree. This offense (other than the new OC and rule changes) is relatively the same. RB's are the same; OL returned a veteran group; receivers are the same. What's different?? QB.
The main problems I have with him:
Inability to consistently execute a handoff to the RB
Staring down receivers
Poor play clock management
Poor decision making in the passing game
Off target passing (not talking about when he's pressured, but regular throws that are behind receivers, too high, or in the ground),
taking on linebackers and defensive backs (it's a matter of time before he gets hurt no matter how tough he thinks he is)
I don't know him personally, but he appears cocky. He's not good enough to be cocky! In fact, he's just not good at all (at this level, of course. he could be a star at carson-newman).
Crompton has the physical tools and athletic ability to be a successful QB at a major D1 program, but doesn't have the mental capacity to lead this team to the SEC Championship everyone is demanding from Coach Fulmer.
