So...can someone please make a logical case why I don't want to see #17 on Saturday (and I don't mean Tee Martin, although...never mind)? Exclude the arguments about practice performance, attitude, looks, who looks better in a beard, etc.

I would love to participate but I don't have enough information in regards to the differences between the 2 quarterbacks using this system. All I have to go on is what the coaches continue to say since there is so little data on Stephens with this system.

The staff continues to say Crompton gives the team best chance to win. That is the only creditable data I have to offer...

Yup then Phil was like,"You're not staying here tonight. Go get sober before you come back, I'm tired of my Jonathon seeing this. Now you get your a** straight or I'll lock your a** out of my life for good."

OK here is your answer NICK should start Saturday if JC and Lamaison are sick,hurt,out of town,or any other reason you could think for them to not be at the game

Lets all agree to give JC a couple more games and by that time we can see if things are going from bad to worst. We play the dogs in three days and all this Stephens, Crompton stuff reminds me of a merry go round. It dosen't go anywhere, just makes you dizzy.

...and that may be the best answer I've had. The thing is: we don't KNOW how Nick will perform in a game until we let him show us. Last year is gone...new system, new coaches, more reps under his belt. It's not like he was 0-4 against WKY.

They will argue 2 things:
1) 3 offense staffs have evaluated Stephens & went with different QB's

--> This is a poor argument b/c the first staff (under Cutcliffe) had Ainge, when Stephens was a true freshman (2006) and a redshirt Freshman (2007). The 2nd staff (Clawson & Co.) did opt for Crompton (based mainly on the Spring & pre-season camp), but they pulled the plug after Crompton threw 4 ints and only 2 tds through 4 games. They went back with Crompton for the last few games of the season, but he was rarely allowed to throw the ball. The 3rd staff (Kiffin) ignored the previous year's results at their own peril and evaluated Crompton to be the better QB during the Spring and Fall camp. We know how that has gone so far as Kiffin is forced to run the ball too much and call screen after screen.

2) Stephens didn't play well last year.

--> Again this is a bad argument. Though he had a very poor start against Wyoming, he played well in games against Bama, UGA and MSU. Which are much better games to evaluate do to outside circumstances affecting the Wyoming game. His stats are better than Crompton's. Check it.

My thoughts are this about Saturday -

1. Either Tennessee wins, or

2. the Crompton era is over.

No inside scoop, just think with the bye week that the change will be made if we lose.

When your defense loses an ex-walk-on MLB for the season and it's a big deal, you have an obvious talent problem.

Don't disagree on the whole that UT doesn't have depth of talent right now.... However, walk ons DO make it sometimes... and that particular MLB former walk-on was called All American worthy by Monte Kiffin. Yes. That's a big deal and not because he IS NOT talented.

I am alot more concerned that two undersized former walk-ons (the Sullins bros) are playing ahead of most of UT's scholarship OL's... and that isn't because they were undiscovered SEC talents.

Great analysis. Now tell me, based on the numbers, why N. Stephens shouldn't start on Saturday. If you don't understand the question, I'll have a translator contact you.

Tell me what Steven's did against USC jr. and Wyoming last year and I will tell you why he shouldn't. Also state his record in those games and what his completion percentage was compared to Crompton's.

They were saying the same thing about the Auburn game. I don't think there is any way NS EVER plays QB for the Vols again. LK is running the show, and he wants everyone to know it. If he puts Nick in, he was wrong, and that just can't happen. LK is on a mission to MAKE JC a qb, and will tell us Cromp is improving right up to the 3-7 Vols' --4-7 Vandy game.

Why Stephens won't start against Georgia- Lane Kiffin says so.

Then I hope he knows how many are falling off the train. Crap, man, this is Ga week and I haven't even been looking at JACK!!! I'm telling ya, if you were there last week and understand the game, then you feel like I do. Plain and simple. I'm dead serious when I say that I'm having a hard time watching this crap product. I don't care what the reason is....it HAS to get fixed before the wheels start to fall off. Saying Crompton is our qb is saying we lose.

I guess Kiffin realizes that it's unwatchable... based on his facial expressions, I'm pretty sure he does... even so, he's apparently not going to bend on playing his system..
