Crompton QB thread (merged a lot)

The coaches probably think Crompton has the natural gifts to be a good quarterback. But I do think he has been telegraphing some airs of being above having to be coached. So much has been made of his not throwing interceptions he may have overcompensated. And for whatever reason it does not appear like he sees the field very well. It is the "Grossman" syndrome that contrasts so fundamentally to Peyton's capacity to move through progressions of receivers. In away it is an emotional issue that involves making a decision with regard to options and which throw will be made before the play unfolds. Notice Peyton observed that Crompton just need to calm down emotionally.

I just don't see at this point how benching risks creating a head case at this point given where Crompton's head is at currently as demonstrated by his play today. Doesn't mean his career is over just means someone else gets a chance and Crompton has got to show some improvement in making plays if he wants to continue have playing time.

How bad are they?? They must be scary not to start over this guy. If they are that bad how is it possible to pick QB's like this at a program like UT? Maybe several over a decade but not all of them at the same time! If I remember Manning personally wanted the one back up to be offered. Is there not something one of them could do? It can't get worse can it? I am seriously asking you guys. Can it get worse??

You call me what you want - I know how much time, money, and energy I've spent cheering for UT. If Crompton is out I'll gladly root like hell like I've always done. This is a forum to share opinions and that's my opinion right now. You have a right to call me whatever you want as well.........this QB play physically is making me sick. If they at least TRY to do something different at that position I'll gladly continue to support this team. I know as long as he's the moron under center there's little hope - and I don't like feeling like I would like to maim our QB so as long as he's in I won't be watching.

My wife can't bear to watch either. Must be an estrogen thing.

Thank You For Those Kind Words Mrs. Crompton.

as a former football player myself, i can say with most certainty that the goal line fumble (this week) was not the fault of Jonathan Crompton. as a former tailback, i know that you are supposed to open your arms much wider than Foster did to accept a handoff from the QB. The announcers are retarded and many fans have just fell in line with CBS's analysis of that play. it was most definitely a fundamental flaw by Arian Foster.

Im not saying Crompton played well, because he did not, but when he did make a decent throw, it was dropped. this makes it very hard to gain any momentum or rhythm. but my only point is that the goal line fumble should not be shouldered by Crompton.

Agree 100%

I would say probably 70% of everyone that reads this board at one time played the game. I also played the game, and well beyond the high school level and I will tell you it is the quarterback's responsibility to put the ball in the the running backs stomach and ride him into the hole to make sure it is a good exchange. If the exchange is missed, the quarterback has to eat the ball. Crompton was once again fundamentally an absolute train wreck and he needs to be sat down. I am also sick of hearing his arrogant replies in his interviews. Someone needs to tell the guy he is not a good football player at all to bring him down to earth. Maybe then we'll see progress.

Maybe I missed it with all the posts/merges but does anybody think the TEAM has now lost any confidence it had in Crompton's ability to win? If that's the case, and I think it might be, then there is literally no upside and all downside to continue playing him.

Yes. The breadbasket loomed large, it was definitely Crompton's fault. He threw the darn thing at Foster, very BadNewsBearsLupus-like.

This is a basic high school lesson and easy skill to learn. I dont see how anyone can see that play any other way. Watch the TIVO!

I heard today that Crompton is currently ranked ( I should say was ranked) #13th in the SEC in Quarterback Passing Efficiency! I can't believe that LSU's back-up quarterback is a more efficient passer than our fearless leader. It looks like Georgia's back-up QB may get a chance to pass him also because Stafford is looking shell shocked!:mf_surrender:

Lol there's a difference in fearless and stupid....stupid is being fearless enough to entice a 200+ pound guy to sack you.

Can you imagine what the announcers were thinking after hearing Fulmer say this after they had spent an entire half of football trying to be "professional" about saying this QB is terrible.

I really wonder what you guys think. Honestly, Is Fulmer just stubborn or does he really think Crompton had a good first half? I am still amazed that he said that at halftime.

As a coach he's really trying to say something positive about his qb to try and keep the team together, it's why you do it. It's a very hard thing to do in that game and i'm sure he was holding back a lot of anger he let the team (and later crompton, in the form of probably just addressing the offense) have in the locker room

I am with you- Cant they just convert Crompton to tightend and start Coleman already. Anything would be better. That I would watch.

Crompton sucks and there is nothing Clawson,Fulmer or anybody else can do about it. He needs to sit on the bench and never get back up! 8-23 what kind of performance it that?

If/when Crompton comes on the field, the crowd should start singing "Wild Thing". Maybe he just needs some glasses.

Crompton's previous mistakes in the past 4 games.

I would think that even if Crompton beats out Stephens in practice that Fulmer takes in account his previous record and the mistakes he has made in games.

At a minimum you would expect to see Stephens start this weekend.

I also hope they put Gerald Jones in more often and let him throw more and during that time he excels to a point to become the starter over Crompton and Stephens.
