What do you all think our record would be if Stephens was the QB all along?

Before anyone says anything...I'm not looking to excuse anyone or let anyone off the hook and I'm not interested in discussing whose fault it is for not starting him all along...

I would simply like to know if you all think it could have made a significant/insignificant difference in our record...

I think we would be 5-2...I think Stephens ability to simply go through progressions and not make stupid turnovers would have been the difference in the UCLA and Auburn games

Agreed. Crompton showed promise in the past, but really screwed us this year. I am glad we benched him and are keeping him there (even when we are up by 30 pts).

I think we would have beaten UCLA and Auburn.

I agree, we could have won both UCLA an Auburn withn Stephens.

Heck, I think we win both of those games with Coulquit punting. Even the Auburn game would have been different with 8-10 yds more per punt.

We would be 5-2, but what do you think it would be if we not only put Crompton on the bench but others like Foster and had Hardesty or Creer in? Or what if Denarius Moore could get on the field with G Jones instead of Austin Rogers? I think we have some more talent on the bench than we are getting to see right now.

In the Auburn game???
Cunningham was right on the money in that game.. He played the best he could have played. Auburn started inside the 10 yard line the whole second half. Now UCLA/Florida were his worst games.

UCLA was just a debacle. We probably still lose that one due to the coaching. Auburn would probably be a win.

5-2 and possibly even 6-1 or 7-0. UGA didn't look great against us and that was Stephens first SEC start. I also doubt that Stephens would have made so many mistakes against UF. Sad to think about how one decision and the mistakes that have resulted because of it have taken us from contenders to pretenders and will probably cost Fulmer his job. Of all the mistakes Fulmer has made, being loyal to a terrible QB will be his downfall.

4-3. Ucla wasn't just because of the offense. That loss was a combined effort. Just crappy all the way around. Make a first down versus auburn and we win that one maybe, on lincoln's leg. He would of had plenty of chances at it. We played on auburn's side of the field the whole second half.

hard to speculate but i agree with cartervol. auburn only had 7 points on offense. i think stephens would have put up more than 14 and most likely not have given auburn a defensive TD

Areed for the most part, the only thing I would say is that with the 4 int's in the first half, and seeing the game live, the WR's running wide open, you would think that Stephens would have connected here and there, when Crompton did not. Basically putting this game out of reach in the 2nd half.

You know, it's funny the difference one game makes. Especially the first game of the season. I've been saying that if we had won that first game against UCLA, even with our other losses I don't think anyone is seriously talking about Fulmer's Job.

Going into this season everyone I talked to felt that it would be a re-building year because we were breaking in a new qb and a new offensive coordinator. Most were saying we were looking either at an optomistic 9-3 at best, or 8-4 at worst. Everyone knew that losing to FL, GA, AL, and AUB was very much a possibility. If we had beaten UCLA we would be sitting right now at 4-3 which is about where most thought we would be.

My question is how in the world did our coaching staff misjudge our QB's this badly?

Worst thing they did was throw the ball 40 something times. You line up and smash a team like that into the dirt. We could have ran the ball down their throats all night and chose not too. What sense does it make to have a kid basically playing his second full start, throwing the ball all over the place,on the road. I mean the OC should have seen he was rattled and called more run plays.

Worst mismanaged football game i've witnessed in a long time.

It makes you wonder doesn't it...

Kind of like...how did a QB that was so highly rated out of highschool who's been at the college level for 3+ years play as badly as Crompton

The Coaching staff didn't misjudge. THE Coach played the upperclassman out of loyalty (and might i add, stupidity)
