In response to GAVol's suscpicion in another thread:

On yesterday's post-game show, when asked if he had the freedom to check-out of a play, Crompton said (paraphrased) that "that isn't an option."

Thoughts?

Yeah its apparent he can't read the back of a cereal box much less a defense.

It seems JC is having a tough enough time of throwing the ball in the dirty and not looking at the ball when handing off to be the least bit concerned about analyzing a defense in 6 seconds...

he probably didn't understand the question because he can't grasp the concept of checking out

Right, but how much does it handicap an offense if it is unable to read defensive schemes and react? (asking, as I am not a football-knowledge expert)

I didn't hear that, but it doesn't surprise me at all.

The next question is . . . Isn't that something that you should probably lie about or not answer??

Kills your offense,period. Unless your the reincarnation of the 95 nebraska team. They could tell you the play they were going to run and it made no difference.

Nice point. You don't think the opposing defenses are jumping on this?

Honestly though guys, do we really want Crompton checking when he "thinks" he sees something? For goodness sakes, this was the guy who threw the ball out of bounds at the end of the game on 3rd down instead of trying anything (I mean anything) to make a play. Heck, throw an interception, something, anything.

Again, I'm no offensive guru, but I can't imagine that you can hope to have success at the SEC level without being able to change plays according to what the defense gives you.

Again, this begs the point: don't we have someone who is qualified to read a defense and find the soft spot?

So our only hope of offensive success is if Crompton is smarter than the guy calling defensive signals? Every play we are drawing to an inside straight.

I think our offense is in complete survival mode (and we aren't doing a good job of that). This gets back to the fact that we should have switched QB's much quicker. Now, we are living with a QB that truly can't function at this level. We have to hope that Stephens is up to the challenge which remains to be seen...

If you have that little faith in a quarterback, he has no business on the field.
