Ainge's resume

You can put in Crompton... Coleman... heck, Stephens all I care.

The fact is, no QB in recent history (30 years) would have been able to survive the number of 0-2 or 1-6 games that Ainge has. This staff has hung on way too long to this guy. Time to start building for next season.

Said it before the season started. This was not an SEC championship team, especially with the staff on hand. This was not a team that was going to compete for anything of significance in 2007. The season is proving that! Get the young guys in and get them reps. Not just Crompton or Coleman, but the rest of the guys we've recruited in recent years. Ainge has NVER shown an ability to be a leader (even right now in his senior season) and has NEVER won a significant game (except UGA, where he had to climb out of the hole he created for himself in the first half).

I may not be as eloquent for fiery as Douglas, but I'm sure as hell better looking than Lincoln.

And I didn't take my emancipation proclamation from Alexander II

Well, the author of the thread apparently thought that he could make things up in order to criticize Ainge. I just hope that I've done my part to keep the more naive members reading this thread from jumping on Ainge, irresponsibily to say the least.

Didn't make things up... made a few mistakes (oh no... I'm human). But the mistakes I made actually were in Ainge's favor, for the most part. Oh, ok. He has 3 300 yard games instead of 2. And he went 9-21 and 1-3 instead of 5-11 and 14-24... Are you kidding me? Is that your defense for Ainge?

You have to give it to him, though. TVA/Rasputin is quite possibly the most successful troll in VolNation history. He'll have multiple posters arguing for hours on end.

The only thing that somewhat diminishes his trolling skills is that he has to spend so much time on it. God knows how long it took him to craft his initial catalog of Ainge ineptitude. A really successful troll just tosses a few idle remarks in the front door and watches as the whole house goes up in flames.

No, my defense, which of course you very conveniently don't acknowledge, is the fact that he has the single season completion percentage record, he is 3rd all time for TD passes, and will be 4th all time in total offense after the next game.

What good does a single season percentage record mean if you throw a bunch of short passes to Meachem (who breaks them into long runs) and you finish 9-4 with a bowl loss to an unranked team with their head coach in the press box?

Has the guy ever won a bowl game? Has he ever even played in an SEC championship game? His signature win is against Georgia... during a down year when he was single-handedly responsible for their offensive woes in the first half of that game?

Are you kidding me?

I also didn't count the Memphis game since he threw 3 passes.

Yet, I'm sure you would count that against CJ Leak (who was 2-4 against UGA in 2003).

Yeah... CJ Leak is a bum. But Ainge is the future of our program.

:ermm:

Add those 2 games to the ones that Ainge "started" but didn't actuallu win by his own merits/by himself and it drops to 15-10 (.600 winning percentage)...

Not exactly Tennessee football...

You know, you're right. Any semi-competent quarterback should have been able to win more games than that, given the stellar defenses, consistently high-quality receivers, excellent special teams, and punishing running game that we've featured during Ainge's career. We should probably run down to campus, stone the guy and drag him down Volunteer Boulevard tied behind a pickup truck for awhile. His girlfriend, too.

No, I wouldn't since I am objective and I realize a true QB with potential that will be a star in the NFL. You seem to think that the coaches give everyone a fair shot, regardless of talent and tools.

And obviously Ainge isn't the future. He has at most 10 more games left.

Ainge finished 9-2 last year. One was to the National Champions, because he didn't have a running game.

Ainge wasn't the future after the 2005 LSU game... :no:

I wonder why we don't have a running game?

Predictable offense (Fulmer) + No threat of Ainge killing an opposing defense hardly ever with his arm = no running game

Teams don't respect our passing game and the coaches (in their effort since Cut has been there to stroke Ainge's ego) don't trust him downfield (or he's just hurt).

Whether it is confidence or injury, Ainge has had PLENTY of opportunities in the last 4 years to make his mark.

Not trying to troll... just wondering what the deal is with Ainge and why this guy seems to have caught more breaks in 4 years than any other QB in the last 30 years.

I mean, can you imagine Ainge putting up even 2 consecutive weeks of that crap with Spurrier as the coach? Talk about fragile ego... if Ainge would have had to deal with Spurrier and all of the jerking of QB's he does, he would have been out of football after 2005... seriously.

Yet this guy is one of our team's leaders in 2007? No wonder we are 1-2 and have little or no fight/pride left in Tennessee. Our main offensive leader has been treated with kid gloves for the last 4 years! Enough is enough with this crap! Coleman, Crompton... anybody... just put somebody out there that at least has Casey Clausen's spirit.

I would consider retracting that statement if I were you.
