I'll also trust the staff that brought in the 09 recruiting class and the staff that probably spends 40-50 hours/week thinking about how to play the game.If you're truly on the Lane Train, then support Crompton. I think I'll take the coaches opinions on the QB issue, rather than reading opinions from us bozos on a message board.
You mean a 3rd down play and a 4th down play? Talk about drive killers...If you're gonna use this argument, you should at least attack the point that we run it on first and second forcing 3rd and longs.
...Hell, a deep pass intercepted and returned for little or nothing is better than giving James the ball to return for 7.
11-19 for 93 yds with 2 picks and 0 TD's. The kid is awful as a QB. End of story. He didn't cost us the game because he wasn't given the chance too like everybody else has already said.
im sorry but this kind of sh*T pisses me off. he did good and i thought we played good. yeah it would have been great to win but he did what he was asked to do...people need to grown up

Crompton is a goofball. He had an easy TD pass and he under threw the receiver and allowed UF to get the interception. His scholarship should be revoked and he should be forced to find his own road back to Knoxville. He's a joke.

I believe this thinking to be absolutely incorrect. Sorry. He ABSOLUTELY does cost us games because he cannot throw the ball down the field. You have to have a passing game to keep the defense honest. They stack 8 men in the box because they know he is incapable of throwing the ball. This makes us one dimensional, which makes us incapable of hanging in these games. All of this because Crompton's inability to do the key characteristic of a quarterback...THROW THE BALL. Crompton most definately costs us games. Just because he didnt have 8 interceptions doesnt mean he didnt cost us the game. He cost us the game last week, and this week because of his inability to move us down the field.
That's an unfounded assumption spoken as a fact. The chances of Stephens being THAT debliltating to every facet of the game are very slim. The chances of ANY QB having THAT much of a debilitating effect is hard for me to fathom. I'd sure be taking the chance at this pointIt is what it is. Crompton is our QB, we don't have a better option.
Third down was a 15 yd loss of down penalty that didn't get called. He had enough room for AT LEAST three yda. That was a PERFECT example of his mental meltdown capacityyeah... he is terrible.
11/19, 2 Int... 0 TD, thats 7 Int in 3 Games!!
not to mention he lost us a TD by throwing so damn late on 2nd down when we were on the 4yrd line... 3rd down wasnt his fault, florida had good coverage.
we cant score and our rushing is going to slow down because teams are not going to be afraid to stack 8 defenders in the box, as the 3rd qrt. proved. As long as we have the RB handoff puppet behind the center, our passing game is going nowhere.
I'm not sure you can pick one of Cromptons game changing performances over another. How about EVERY? CPF had a HUGE hand in that performane against Wy and that was a pitifully sucky CPF team, gameplan, ect. Apples and orangesCrompton's worst loss: UCLA
Stephens' worst loss: Wyoming
I'll take Crompton. Thanks, though.

yeah... that looks great on paper... except most of those were 5 yard screens
