MONTREAL — The Montreal Alouettes have parted ways with quarterback Jonathan Crompton, the team announced Tuesday.

Crompton, a 6-foot-4, 225-pound quarterback out of Tennessee, spent three seasons with the Als after originally entering the league with the Eskimos in 2013.The 29-year-old has played 15 games with the Als since his arrival in 2014, completing 200 of his 360 passes for 2,811 yards and 14 touchdown passes. He won nine of his 13 starts for the Als, including eight in 2014 when he took the Alouettes to the playoffs despite their 1-7 start.

“We thank Jonathan for all that he has done for this team,” said General Manager Kavis Reed. “Even though he was injured through most of the last two seasons, he always kept a positive attitude, while maintaining an excellent work ethic.”

A huge, league-altering move that required it's own thread and not be part of the Around The League Offseason Discussion, to be sure....

Surprised it took this long.  I don't like him and don't want to see him in Blue and Gold.

Crompton, straight out of....Montreal. And no, I also don't want him here.

hoping the Riders pickup Crompton and Kilgore and release Bennett

The best sub 50% passer in the league

I never thought he was much. That nine of 13 start was a misnomer.

That why question thingy reminds of the Rider board

So does every lousy QB who gets released get his own thread?

Crompton wasn't great. Let's show a little compassion & let him have his 24 hours of fame here.

As someone who does not have time check the board multiple times per day or even per week, I appreciate the dedicated threads for cfl news.   It's hard to catch up in a single thread starting a few days back.  And personally I like the feeling that the board is busier even if it's not really.   And it no where close to how many threads a nasty fellow would start in a day or perhaps an hour in a years gone by.  

The guy was a winner,   he definitely if healthy would be a solid back up for a team to have.    

The numbers don't wow but the Wins/Losses do impress.    He was also doing this with a team that didn't have the crazy defense that Bishop had during his magical run several years ago.

That idiot is over on the CFL website in their forum trashing everything about the Bombers. Glad he's there & not here.

Watching Jonathan Crompton play, I never thought he was a winner. I thought his accuracy was always questionable as was his ability to exploit a defense as a qb. He won most of his games because his team around him played better. I think any competent qb with the Als back then would have won. Crompton wasn't special in any way. At least that's what I think.

Stamp fan on RF had a good idea with Crompton being brought into Calgary to compete against Gale for 3rd spot (Buckley moving to 2) maybe with the tutelage of Dickenson and Huff, Crompton could improve as a QB

If I remember correctly, didn't he actually ride his Defence for a good portion of those wins?

Anyway, I hope the Riders sign him and cut Bridge so kluckhs (of whatever the **** that guys name is) head explodes.

Don't know how this guy milked the Als. for as long as he did...Must have pics....Anyway ...there's Jonesies chance to add to his fine stable of qbs.     (sound effects of a horse whinnie)

considering what we have and those 3 given the choice id take almost any one else for qb4 in tc. Its kinda strange, havent heard of a deal for MBT, or us picking up a young guy to be the 4th. its great having that extra arm for mini camp and early in camp. Works great with a young developmental qb new to the cfl. (which is the direction i hope we go)

Yeah I think it was Gene Wilder...lol...Wouldn't that be a hoot if every time a rider qb. was mentioned, the nags could be heard in the background...

There's worse third stringers we could bring in. Nothing wrong with bringing him in and seeing how he looks with his hat on backwards, pencil in hand with a clip board.

I'd be all in on Crompton it if the Bombers hadn't already signed LeFevour.  What I picked up from watching him was that he was primarily a smart QB who got things done, despite his multitude of critics.  Queue forms below.
