I'll take decision making ability and leadership over arm strength any day. Out of the three that leaves Coleman. Maybe I'm biased cause I want a kid from chattanooga slingin it, but I'm not ready to hand the spot over to Stevens because of a pick six in a game we won. Stevens didnt exactly light it up either, so dont talk about how unimpressed you are of Coleman when he played 3/4 of a game.

Watching Stephens play in the Georgia and Bama games gave me hope. He looked alright throwing to receivers like Austin Rogers and oh my Josh Briscoe. I think he takes off in this system.

As much as I like Coleman as a kid, and his smarts...

He does not have the armstrength needed to stretch the field, which will be a key part of CLK's offense.

I'm gonna go ahead and assume Mark Smith is well under his way to improving that arm strength you're speaking of.:dance2:

Compton has the best arm of the three, with it being a toss up between Stevens, and Coleman of who is next. But, there is more to playing QB than physical ability. I think all three have the physical ability to run CLK's pro-style offense, and that includes arm strength.

We had multiple problems on O last season including QB, but our biggest problem was the poor routes that our WR's ran. We really missed CTT last season, it was a shame we couldn't get him back to coach or WR's again. Lucas Taylor was a much better player coached by TT.

So, we will see in Spring Pratice who comes out on top. No doubt CLK will play the QB that gives him the best chance to win.

I am guessing that it will be Coleman with Stevens not far behind. But, what do I know, I'm just a fan giving my 2 cents, and not an expert or genius.

Good points ... I think it was more of just a combination of things. The WRs didn't run the right routes or just dropped passes. The OL couldn't block anything. And, the QBs found it more entertaining to kill worms than to actually hit receivers in the hands. We were terrible in every way last year on offense. The one bright spot was our depth at running back. If Hardesty stays healthy, he can be a rock out there.

I would think he is the QB that Kiffin is looking to for next year and then hit it hard in recruiting a QB out of the 2010 Class. BJ is intelligent and fully capable of handling the pressure at QB. He will need some adjustment to the new way of doing buisness and schemes of the offense but for the most part he will get the job done. Only question I have is his arm strength but I am sure that Kiffin has a plan. My grandson played BB and FB with him at McCallie and says he is one of those special athletics that will surprise you when given a the opportunity.

I've played with him before and trust me, arm strength won't be a problem.

I may just leave this subject alone until spring. But I do think Coleman has a super soaker for an arm.

He went to Mccallie which is Ted Turner's old school. I went to Notre Dame down the street (years earlier). It's an all-boys private school with high academic standards.

Didn't they say during some SEC broadcasts that the team responded to him better than the other guys? I think he has better leadership skills than Crompton and Stephens.

If he has the confidence of the team, I hope he can put the physical game with the mental game and take the starting spot.

I went to NDHS 92-94.
We used to scrimmage McCallie when Twambi Settels (sp?) was QB. They had there way with us back then.

Unfortunately great improvements in arm strength are not coached, or strengthened this late in his career. I really like the kid, but he has a long way to go to be the guy for UT.

It's been mentioned many times before that Stephens has the NFL arm out of the 3. So i'll have to disagree with Crompton having the best arm. Beisdes he is horrible.
As far as TT goes, we miss Cutcliffe a whole lot more than TT. Cutcliffe was the reason our offense was any good.

why is everyone so hard on TTT.
Every unit that guy touched before and after Cut performed very well.

Tawambi was the best qb to ever put on the blue, sorry BJ. No one comes close to him.

Has Cut ever really found a diamond in the rough QB? I mean, it wasn't like the Mannings doing well was a shocker. Tee Martin was highly rated, as was Heath Shuler. Every QB he had at Ole Miss other than Eli was horrible.

Do you dare question The Great and Powerful Cutcliffe?... Even if you are right?... Don't get me wrong, I think Cut is a good developer of QBs, but let's not act like those guys (Peyton, Tee, Eli, and Shuler) weren't cream of the crop prospects when they got to Cut. Not the same situation as BJ Coleman.

Cut was sold on BJ. He was on record (before he left for Duke) supporting BJ over Crompton, and that is documented. Cut had seen enough of BJ in pratice to believe that BJ would be te starter over Crompton. Again, no offense, I'll take Cut's assesment over yours.

Fair enough. I don't recall ever hearing Cut actually say that. I thought it was mostly speculation.

He was very good. They also had a tailback on that team that was amazing as well. He was an all state wrestler but I cant remember his name.
I think Twambi went on to play safety at Duke.

Coach Settles coaches my high school team!:pepper:He was drafted by either the Falcons or Lions in the 7th round and later he was a college talent evaluator with Green Bay and then moved back to Chattanooga
