Andy Kelly replacing Sterling Henton turned out pretty well.

Yes it did. I found myself wondering the other day who was the worse QB, Crompton or Henton.

Time clouds the memory, so I can't remember how bad Sterling was compared to our current situation.

Alatore thats a name i wish i could forget. He threw some horrendous pass like Ainge did in 2005 against LSU

I remember when Henton got in at the end of a blow out one time. It was one of his last games. Don't remember the team they were playing but they were horrible! Henton lucked up and threw a TD pass on their terrible defense and went nuts. After the game all he could talk about was how he proved he could play QB. He rambled on for several minutes before the radio could cut to commercial. I laughed my butt off.

I remember it was the Alabama game but what was ironic next year Kelly was pulled and Henton took over during the Alabama game. I think he got hurt and kelly went back in. Darn i am getting old!!

Again, a lot of these examples aren't cases of where we have Vol fans pleading for another guy the coaches won't play and then they come in and succeed.

I still say change for the sake of change is a horrible way to go, especially since we know what Stephens (doesn't) bring to the table.

Here's the most amazing thing, UT was undefeated (5-0) with Hinton at QB and rated #6 in the AP poll, but were getting beat badly at Bama when Majors put in Andy Kelly for more vertical passing and Andy led a furious, but unsucessful, comeback against the Tide. Sterling never reclaimed his starting roll. UT won the SEC that year and the year after with Andy Kelly as QB.

If i remember right Henton had a real strong arm but his accuracy was terrible. He also got rattled in the pocket easily. If he got pressured he was off to the races if I remember correctly. Correct me if i am wrong its been a long time.

But, this is just ridiculous logic. Why would Kiffin play someone he knows is, at least, as bad as Crompton and probably worse? So, he can say that we suck, but at least we tried something different?

Well, if that's the case, why not play Lamaison? Why not just start every freshman? At least we would've tried something different. No, you play the players you think will give you the best chance to win and Kiffin is doing that. His options just suck.

Someone using logic...crazy, especially when it's right. :)

He had "happy feet" and wasn't as tall as Andy Kelly was.

Well, I love what Montario is doing this year, but he wasn't any better than Foster last year. In fact, Foster had a higher YPC. You just had to take the guy out inside the 20.

Now, Hardesty this year is much better than Foster last year.

Talk is talk and people will continue to talk and call for Stephens and call for Kiffins head. Like it or not but Stephens will ride the pine this year barring an injury to Crompton. Just how it is. Better get use to it. Next year isn't showing any signs of anything great either unless Stephens or Bray or some other QB recruit comes in with great play. It is at least a couple of years away that UT has some good success. The good thing is that we have lost by a total of only what? 16 points in 3 games? The talent is there on the team, but with the shaky QB play, (piss poor QB play), won't allow for the success to be there this year. Not sure why some expect for JC or NS to do anything other that what we have seen so far this season. The sooner you set your mind on it, the less chance you will get an ulcer. :p

Crompton has thrown more picks this year then Stephens could throw the rest of the year.i think Kiffin is trying to do the right thing.but you cant mess the chymestry up between the qb and wr because there is none.either change qb's or dont throw the football over 5 yards!Cromptons favorite play is to see pressure{or imigine pressure}and throw the football at someones feet!!!!:crazy:

You know, I remember all that but for some reason I had in my head how horrible Hinton was. I was a much younger and more hot headed fan then.

I think CLK is keeping Crompton in so he proves to future recruits(including Bray), that even if you have a bad day, you do not have to look over your shoulder like if you played for Steve Spurrier. There is one more chance for a switch during the bye week. CLK can come out and say that Stephens has done enough to overtake JC and it does not look like a coin was used to make the decision.

If Peyton Manning was qb he would have similar numbers to Crompton because he would be throwing to the same skillet handed receivers. How many interceptions were thrown to GJ(I don't feel loved when I block) or I want the balls to hit me in the chest some D Moore, and thank goodness they woke quinton up after the first half. Maybe it was the pass that JC stuck in his ear!

I believe we had 1 TD pass in the first 5 games of the 1989 season.

Stephens may not be as good as Crompton in practice, but maybe he can handle the game time atmosphere better. The last play of the Auburn game was executed perfectly. IMO, it was because there was no pressure on the play. He did not throw a pass that precisely the entire game. It seems that he can't handle the pressure of the big plays. Nick Stephens may not be as good as Crompton, but i would be willing to wager that he could handle the mental aspect of the game better.
What do yall think?

I'll come right out and admit it. I thought Brandon Stewart was better than Manning at first. I couldn't for the life of me figure out why Manning kept getting the nod.

Shows how much I know...

I don't understand why we ran the Nuke gun one time and got a huge gain, and then forgot it was in our playbook.

The reason I put this in this thread is because Nuke deserved more playing time than he got.

Couldnt agree more, pissed me off to not see it again...BTW everyone needs to remember that Stephens sucked under the old suck staff...who is to say he would not play better with this new staff?? All of preseason, Kiffin had said it was extremely close between NS and Incrompotent, he decided on JC, I hope his ego isnt costing us, as much as I love CLK, he does have a lot of pride and ego.
