Chris Walker on Coleman

[iceman9]

Um no, that logic has nothing to do with the pro level (as I've pointed out). And if mind serves me correctly, Leaf was a hell of a college QB. Thus it actually supports my point.

Um, no, your opinon was based on Crompton QB ranking coming out of high school. Someone must have seen something Leaf to make the 2nd overall draft pick. How did that work out?

phi...I underestand and agree about your ability(i.e. arm stregth) argument....but don't you think a QB has to have it "between the ears" before he can take advantage of that?

There's an old saying in sports..."The kid has a million dollar body and a 50 cent brain"....i.e. all the physical ability in the world won't get you anywhere at this level if you don't have the mental side of things down first

Crompton has shown beyond a shadow of a doubt that he just doesn't grasp the mental side of things at this level...and it's a shame because he has a very strong arm, a big/strong body, and some decent athleticism....but that has got him exacty nowhere to this point and I don't think he can be turned around in such a short tiime

Oh no I completely agree with what you are saying. I'm talking strictly theoretical. Assuming that Crompton's play this year was an anomaly (and with a new HC coming in with no bias and willing to give a fair shake to everyone you could say that this past year doesn't matter), wouldn't a new coach look to give the more highly regarded and QB with the most potential to make solid throws the first chance? I believe Crompton will not be our QB next year, but I also don't think Coleman gets much of an opportunity in a game situation. Strictly because a new coach coming in is going to see Coleman performing at 100% and think to himself, wow this kid really isn't going to give us what it takes to compete. That's really all im trying to say.

Ok let me try to explain it better. I'm not saying Crompton is good nor will he ever be. What I'm saying is that from a raw potential perspective, Crompton is the far superior QB. If Coleman performs at 100%, let's say that's Crompton's 75%. Now at this point Crompton hasn't performed anywhere near that level, but I'm trying to speak from the perspective of a brand new coach. I think Crompton gets the opportunity next year before Coleman, although he will have to perform much better than this year. And I'm not saying the recruiting rankings are incredibly valid here. As I think certain factors such as media coverage, what area of the country, support at other offensive positions, etc. play a large role in determining these things. I'm strictly stating that for him to be rated that high in his class means that he has the potential to have the complete package. Whether or not someone develops into that is another story.

no way crompton starts next year...he does NOT have the intagibles required on the next level to be a competent QB..i do not believe this quality can be coached into a player...he either has it or he doesn't...It seems that CLK has a good eye for talent. Hope he tells J Crompton he doesn't fit his style of play..and to look elsewhere....

 

[VolsFanRJ]

I am not knocking Fulmer, so all the Fulmer fanatics just calm down. If Coleman does ends up the starter next year and lights it up from game 1, how stupid will this make Fulmer look? Will it prove what a lot of people said about him? One of his biggest downfalls was his loyalty to upperclassmen?

 

[GreyWolf1129]

Since, by all accounts, we won't end up with a legitimate QB prospect, I have to assume that Kiffin has looked at our in-house QB's, and thinks he sees something...

The question is, who?

IMO, Stephens, Coleman, and Crompton. In that order.

JMO.

Go Vols.

 

[alaVOL]

Even if CLK thinks he can get good play out of one of our current QB's, I still think he believes he has a QB he wants leaning our way in recruiting.

 

[EvanStalcup1990]

Mark my words and save them for later. Coleman will NEVER be a solid SEC QB. Despite Crompton's terrible performance this year, in Kiffin's mind he is still the better option. There is something that got Crompton ranked 2nd QB in his recruiting class, and he has buttloads more potential than Coleman. While I think Stephens is ultimately the best option, I believe Kiffin will give Crompton a shot in his offense. But I promise you that Coleman will not be our starter next year.

For some reason i feel the same way =cray:

　　在现在社会，?k?C 已经步遍全国各地，为什么这个特殊的行业能如此发展那么快而且迅速的步遍全国各地，可见市场上的需求量有多大，现在机关机构企业都需要学历证明，没有毕业证，就相当迷路的人一样找不到路，可以说?k?C 这个行业已经成为一个品牌，不管你在哪里都可以看见?k?C 的，尤其是在大城市。１９９０年我一人来到北京。自己独自闯北京，那时候真的很痛苦，找不到工作，也没人可怜你，一天我一个人在大街上一个人无聊的走在新街口，走到新街口看见一个外地的４０多岁的中年人摆地摊在新街口。看见他在用刀子雕刻一个红色的东西，我好奇的就上去看下了，和他聊了一会知道他在刻章，那会还不懂什么叫刻章，我更好奇了，于是我买了包红塔山给他让他给我讲下，那时候一包红塔山消费了我一个星期的饭钱，不过后来想想也直，大家接着往下看：那个人还比较好，告诉我他一天能赚好几百元呢？我当时听了惊讶啊！一天几百元啊！那时候可是不小的数目，心里想要是自己学会了就好了。从那以后天天找他请他吃饭买好烟给他抽，是他没有想教我的意思，就在我钱快要没有的时间，那个人看出来，说小伙子你的钱快花光了吧，我听了不好意思的笑了下，我知道你的意思，我可以教你但你不许在教别人，我听了非常高兴，经过一段时间我把全部的刻章技巧都学会了，于是师傅叫我去西直门那边摆个地摊，说那边人多也比较繁华，听了师傅的话当时心里真不是滋味，和他一起相处了那么长时间，感觉象自的亲人一样不舍得分开。

Excuse me?


On the rivals board there is alot of speculation that the great pro-style QB prospect currently committed to Cal called up Kiffin and said he's interested in UT. That would be huge for us! If not, my bet's on Stephens to start next year.

 

[countrypk]

I watched Coleman since the sixth grade at McCallie. He had a stellar career in the toughest division in the state. Ask the boys at Riverdale if he can lead under pressure and fling a ball half a mile.

 

[Volsfan4243]

Coleman will start next year. Hopefully spring practice and a strong QB coach will bring out his abilities. If Cutcliffe thought he was the best QB at UT, then he has talent. Cutcliffe knows a little bit about qb's. He said Crompton was uncoachable and he was right. Crompton sucks.
