Forgotten, but not gone. Is there any better way to put Jonathan Crompton’s season into perspective?

Crompton was 8-2 as the Als’ starter in 2014. This isn’t to suggest the 6-foot-4, 225-pounder displayed signs of walking on water. During that 10-game stretch, for example, he never passed for 300 yards in a game. But he was the quarterback of record and the Als, for a number of reasons, continued winning during that stretch.

Crompton, who signed with Montreal on July 11, 2014, after being released by Edmonton, passed for 2,482 yards last season, along with 11 touchdowns. He was intercepted eight times. He then helped lead the Als to a 50-17 East Division semifinal victory over British Columbia although, again, his totals were modest — 155 yards passing and two touchdowns. The Als were eliminated the following week, at Hamilton, even though Crompton passed for 314 yards and three touchdowns.
