Let's see....take a chance on a CN and hope he's matured and not a nucklehead, or hope Stephens stays healthy and hope Lamison and true Frosh in Bray doesn't have to play. I think the staff would like to red-shirt Bray. So, where does that leave us? Some say Simms, some say Cam. We will have 3 QB's next year in Stephens, Bray and Lamison. I think Lamison can be ok as he gets the system down etc. Remember he came to UT in August, so that didn't give him a fighting chance. But, with a season under his belt, we should see his potential in the Spring. It looks like Stephens or bust.

stephens will not do half the job jonathan crompton has done, hes not got the mental toughness imo, after watching him blow up on several ocasions, i said before i knew anything about lane kiffin and the season even started that crompton would do fine this year, he had a shaky start after that tune up game, but sam wyche said he could play QB in the off season and, sam wyche is one of the best QB guys ever.

Yeah, I think that Stephens has made some strides in practice. What the coaches wanted to accomplish by bringing in a JuCo guy was to have someone on the roster who could actually push Stephens. They know that Stephens progresses better when he is fighting for a position. That's the benefit of having nearly a year of feeling him out.

They obviously don't see Simms as someone who would even push Stephens (and I agree) thus bringing him in is just wasting a scholly that could be spent on someone like Dequan Menzie. The more noise I hear about MSU looking hard at Hutson Mason and still contacting Brunetti, the more I think that our coaches are still evaluating Cam and haven't yet given him the indication that they are going in another direction.

I doubt very seriously that anything comes of it, I think the coaches are just doing their due-diligence, but the nail is not yet in the coffin.

Cam Newton would give the vols their best chance of a 10 win season next year. If Stephens or Lamaison start 6-6 is the best vols could hope for and it could be worse. Bray needs to redshirt next year and be starter in 2012 after Newton leads vols to national title in 2011.

+1. Cameron may be better suited for a spread type offense, but I can't help but look at the transformation taking place with the Titans, with Vince Young. Many thought he wasn't a good fit for them either...wrote him off. They still run a pro-set, but also run some shotgun and spread option plays that flat out work magic...with the threat of VY and Chris Johnson.

If the Titans can do what they are doing with VY and CJ, then I can only imagine what Cam and Bryce/Oku could do next year. When you really need that big play, or when you just want to keep a defense on it's heels, you mix in some T-Gun. I think Cam is very effective throwing the ball...and I still believe he expedites the Kiffin era of championship football. Otherwise, I don't see us having much of an improvement over this year's record...unless Bray can somehow catch fire.

I'd like to see CLK bring Cam in, and in games where you have a blowout in progress, let Bray take over, to get some valuable playing time...and bring him along slowly. If Stephens can outplay the other guys on the roster, great. But, I think this staff's best chance at putting their plan on the fast track, is to get Cam in here.

THIEF: A person who steals, esp. secretly or without open force; one guilty of theft or larceny. Buying a laptop that maybe hot.........isn't categorized as stealing. Maybe shady but not a thief. But, ayway he left the team and probably is very remorseful for what he did. If he came to UT and lead us to a SEC title and maybe a BCS Championship game, how would you feel about him then? Could you forgive him? Or just forgive him now and let it go without the championships?

The Blinn Buccaneers defeated Navarro 45-34 to win the the Southwest Junior College Conference championship. Cam Newton, recovered from an ankle injury suffered in the previous Navarro game, completed 21 of 29 passes for 237 yards plus three rushing touchdowns.

Blinn head coach Brad Franchione noted after the game that Newton doesn't smoke pot and recently gave up his habit of robbing people outside of convenience stores.

Wouldnt it be great for Cam and the Vols to beat Florida's ass the next 2 years with an ex gator leading the way. I dont think Coach Kiffin wants to go through another 7-5 or 6-6 season next year or year after. Bray will be great, but needs a redshirt season and alittle time. If Vols get Luc,Jones,Taylor,Willis,Miller,Smith,Lemonier,Dixon and Menzie, the defense will be good enough to win alot of games, but with Newton at Qb,Brown healthy, Jones,Moore,Thompkins, and Ambles at wr, Vols could beat anyone anywhere and would win minmum 10 games, maybe 14. Cam Newton = National Championship. Lets go Vols!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'd say give him a chance. Hell, look at what we have on the team now. JJ hasn't been in school 6 months and he's been given too many chances already. I'm sure CN has realized his mistake as well and wants a chanve to prove himself. Its hard to see another QB that is capable of coming in and being sucessful immediately. We need solid competetion of Stephens, I think CN might be the guy to challenge him.
