Ainge, no question.

The real Q is on the opposite side of the shoulder; who has the better head?

Who knows who has the better head?

Who has the better "Dirty Sanchez?"

If only this wasn't a family board...

I have yet to see Crompton throw a meaningful college pass so I'll go with Ainge.

Yes, he throws it so hard it hurts the hands of the defensive backs.

hopefully he hurts our receivers hands and DB's don't get a hold on it

I don't care who has the better arm, just as long as one of them knows where the ball will end up on the opposite end of the throw.

Of course, you'd have to say Ainge at this point.

That would be kind of hard to answer wouldnt it since no one has seen Crompton throw a pass in an actual game with a healthy arm.

Come on.

Pretty much what I was going to say too. Since no one has seen Crompton throw a meaningful pass, we don't really know how good his arm strength is.

I assume this means if they are both at 100% and fully recovered from injuries.

Based on what I read about both of them when they were recruited, I'm pretty sure it would have been a consensus Crompton had the stronger arm coming out of high school.

Since then Crompton hasn't played at UT and is recovering from shoulder surgery and Ainge has put on some weight. Hard to say. My guess would be Ainge since he's put on about 30 lbs or more since he's been at UT. At 6'6" when Ainge gets fully developed physically, he should be able to throw it as hard as anyone. Whether or not its going to be accurate thats anyone's guess. Hopefully Cutcliffe fixed that problem.

No way. I saw Crompton play in one of the high school all star games at the end of his senior year, and Ainge's arm as a freshman at UT was far stronger than Crompton's.

Crompton gets tons of hype on this board because he has a connection with Shuler and he grew up a UT fan, but the fact of the matter is that he wasn't really rated any higher than Ainge coming out of high school.

I will say, for the record though, that you don't necessarily have to have a cannon of an arm to be a very highly successful college quarterback. I think that Crompton will end up being a very good quarterback when he gets his chance. However, I think that will be after Ainge's final season at UT.

Crompton was considered a top 5 talent, Ainge top 25. Not that it matters, but just sayin.

I agree. Crompton was a no.2 rated QB in high school, Ainge wasn't considered top 10.

Crompton was a MUCH better "prospect" coming out of highschool.

The debate on the stronger arm is silly.

However, I was at the last scrimmage before the Orange and White Game this spring, and Crompton did have a long pretty pass.

I know that insider's this week have said that Fulmer thinks that the competition will be close in the fall, but hell, Clausen beat Ainge out last year, and Ainge still started, so I think it would be a few games in until we saw Crompton, and I don't want to see that because I think it will mean we have lost 2 of the first three.

How was he a better prospect? Crompton won the Army of One award or something at the US Army All-American game. Ainge wasn't even invited. I'm not saying Crompton is better, but he was much more highly touted coming out of high school.

Crompton was recruited by (according to Rivals):

Tennessee
Clemson
Georgia
Miami-FL
North Carolina
South Carolina
Southern Cal
Virginia

Ainge was recruited by:

Tennessee
Arizona State
Oregon
Oregon State
UCLA

I think it's obvious who was more heavily recruited.

Looks to me that OrangeSquare said that Crompton WAS a better prospect coming out of highschool.

WHOOPS. I misread that pretty bad. It's getting late, I guess.

To tell you the truth, I also thought he said Ainge at first. Strange.
