Did anyone notice that he had his helmet on the entire game like he was in the rotation and expected to go in at any moment. I just thought it was funny cause he was the ONLY play with it on at times.

Crompton is a competitor he wants to play. He just wasnt able to get the job done. Stephans did better but again it was against NIU. At this point I wouldnt mind seeing coleman get a shot. At any rate I have said it before the problems with the offense go beyond the qb.

They do but poor QB play is a real catastrophe for this offense. Every SEC defense is just going to load up against the run and beg us to throw it or try and run against a defense loaded for run.

I don't wish ill will on anyone, including Crompton. I hope he has a chance to redeem himself in the eyes of the fans down the line, but for now, it's Stephens job.

Yeah - you can't really feel good about what has happened to him... sure he's played really bad... but if the coaches were half decent the situation wouldn't of been near as bad as it has for him - and he received most of the blame. And fans boo'd him specifically when going into half against Florida.

Don't get me wrong - I'm glad Stephens is our QB right now - just wish it all didn't have to happen the way it did.

I'm sure he would have liked to go somewhere and hide. I feel bad for him. Maybe he can get his own radio show in Knoxville when he graduates though.

I would feel bad for Crompton, had he not ran his mouth about the whole "doubters" in the offseason. Only then would I feel bad for him.

If we dont play any better than this against bama or Georgia crompton will probably get to play. Not because he is so great. Just because by the 4th quarter it wont matter who they put it. The game would be so out of hand.

Why should I feel bad for someone who's ego gets in his way on the field?? He thinks he's some type of All-American player on the field but has yet to establish himself as anything of a legit D1 prospect. Obviously if he played like he practiced, he would be the #1 QB in the SEC.

how do you know he thought he was an All-American player? he's not acted like he's better than everybody else. I'm just saying it's sad to see a kid who loves this school so much and just can't get the job done

He may love the school and I don't have a problem with that, but when you have proven nothing and you say something like this....

"I said this a long time ago -- let people doubt me all they want," said Crompton, a 6-4, 220-pound fourth-year junior at the Vols' media day Saturday morning, a few hours before the team opened preseason practice. "You'll find about me when we start playing."

That tells me a lot about what he thinks of himself.

that's not proclaiming to be an All American. what do you expect the guy to say? "I suck and I don't think I'm a good player"?

I feel sorry for him as well I was really hoping he would do great this year, unfortunately it didn't work out that way. I still wish him well in whatever he does.

Exactly. Who would want a starting QB who was full of self doubt?
