If you read up you will see the name "AINGE"......that's who I was talking about!! You just stepped out of your spaceship screaming Manning, I don't know where that came from.....Melmac?

I was using Manning as an example. This staff couldn't win with Manning at the helm. Why should we expect anything different with Ainge at QB? Get it, smart guy?

You are sick.....you condone pisspoor coaching and call out a kid......suk me......and NEVER let me hear you "call out" REAL vol fans. Ainge chose Tenn and we are ALL glad he is here. Two mill coaches that prepare and execute like our staff are fair game.....AINGE IS A VOL....and NEVER forget it.....good or bad....rain or shine. Could he have played better.....yes, if coached properly and with a sound gameplan.

until we get a winner at QB......we are going to be mediocre!! I sit here and listen to all the CPF haters day in and day out, saying he should go blah blah blah til we wanna puke on here.

Winner at QB includes the following:

Leadership

Playmaker

Plays with Heart

Plays with Intensity

"This is mine and we are taking it"!!

Win at all cost mentality

Sacrifice

Mental Toughness

WINNER

What we have at QB includes the following:

A Puppet (who follows directions well but has no imagination or feel for a game)!!

Ainge plays the game running backwards and throws the ball off his back foot 80% of the time.

He plays like he is scared.....and that will never work!! Happy feet worse then Peyton ever had!

Cannot play under adversity!

Cannot play under pressure!

He is scared to mess up

he is scared to be successful

He is just scared period!!

And it shows with our play calling when the going gets tough, they put Ainge on strings and will call the plays they know he can handle!!

Now to the defense........you are so right, our defense has given up alot of yards....but we have another scenerio here: if we have a QB that can't perform under fire then you're defense is going to be out on the field alot!! Ainge can't reach deep down and get that extra yard, I have seen him have a 12 - 15 yard cushion where he could run for the first down and throws it away!! Don't get me wrong, the young man has great stats but he just don't "have IT".....run and dive for a first down, allude a tackler and make a play...if it's handed to him on a silver platter he will take it...I agree he can make all of the throws a college QB should be able to but those 5 inches between his ears are killing us.....Erik Ainge's play is hurting the defense just as much as a good offensive line.....

at Bama and Tonight, those 2 teams would not have been able to gain 500 yards had we have a QB that puts it on the line, takes the game over and gets critical 3rd downs....
Byt by the time we were able to see any kind of hope at BAMA, we throw an interception and Ainge fell apart, 3 and out......here we come!! Ainge converts these 3rd downs and they maybe get 250 - 300 yards!! more time for a D to rest!! Our secondary looked promising at times, linebackers and line played so/so....now where near their ability...attibute to time on the field, at least a percentage of it!!:dance:

You guys poor all of the Kool Aid you want to on me, I love the taste.......so throw all of it my way!!

We won and it counts......we give our coaches hell on here but until EA is gone and we find another Casey Clausen mentality type QB, gonna be the same result!! OUR Defense can play better when the offense controls the clock, UGA proved that.......Ainge was a thorn in our side aganst Cal and UF and was showing no signs of being a leader, playmaker nor someone who goes out there and puts it all on the line for a first down!!

KOOL AID is ready, let me hear it but you can't contradict much I have said!!

GO VOLS and thank you for the win and efforts!!

How many SEC titles did Casey Clausen win, again?

So is this supposed to be your "controversial" thread of the week? Seems to me, it's just a longer, drawn out one than last weeks.

Ainge is 15th in the nation in passing (that's out of 100 and some) QB's. It could be much worse. Maybe if the defense could stop the other team's offense, our offense would have more chances to score.

I understand that he had a bad night and the arm chair QB's are going to be out in full and I'm sure you'd be able to do better out there. So I'll call your post silly as always and move one.
I don't know what you are looking at, but he's not the 15th best QB in the nation according to this...

At times... i'm not so sure he isn't. Have you looked at his second half stats the past 2 games?

The playcalling has been horrible in both of those halves. Regardless, we don't have anything on the bench that is anywhere close to be in the same neighborhood as Ainge.

Don't even cater to them TVA......all they can do is say "Fire Fulmer' and beat their chest and drool........the Geriatric Slobbers will never understand what leadership on the field means for a football team!!

What a worthless thread. I'm tired of these stupid cliches like "winnner". Guess what the major knock on Peyton Manning was until just a few months ago?

Now that I think about it. It took our coaching staff four years to win just one championship with Peyton Manning. We only got that championship because Florida dropped the ball and UT lucked into the SEC Championship game. Additionally, we lost to a pathetic Memphis team that season and got drilled by Nebraska in our bowl game. Manning will likely go down as the best QB of his generation. Now who isn't a winner?
Guess who Peyton's offensive coordinator was?

Peyton's probalem is the problem we have seen over the past two weeks... Cutcliffe abandons the run and that forces the QB to make plays. Peyton at least was able to win several big games outside of Florida (again, partly due to us not running enough and mixing in some play action every now and then).

Ainge, on the other hand, hasn't put together a complete game in his entire career nor has he ever lead us on a game winning drive (unless you count 2004 Florida where we had some help with the clock, and even then, he shared time with Brent Scheaffer).

I seriously doubt you've ever played football.

at least JC would give it his all.....he proved that against LSU last year.......I would rather have a kid like that playing and giving his all making plays, then a chicken back there that can't handle adversity

If given a chance and given some snaps/reps, Crompton couldn't have done any worse last night than ainge...

wow... after last night your gonna classify ainge as a "non" winner.. thats crap he did'nt have his best game by any stretch... but he is by far considered in my book a winner..

Ainge didn't win that game last night... South Carolina lost it. He did nothing in that game to make any reasonable person say, "Jeez... if it wasn't for that play by Ainge, I'm not sure we would've won". Blake Mitchell and John Parker Wilson have outplayed Ainge in the last two weeks.

Name one instance last night when Ainge showed a hint of cowardice.

I really wish GORT2 would quit making the same threads over and over and over again. You guys sure feed him well let me tell ya. :birgits_giggle:

Well, this is Ainge's last year so maybe next year will have an unproven and relatively unknown quarterback with all those wonderful leadership capabilities! :ermm:

If they would give Coleman or Crompton more snaps, we wouldn't have to worry about lack of experience next year, But Ainge can't put games away when Cutcliffe is putting the game in his hands to where we can actually get some garbage time minutes for the backups.

Being worried about Ainge is like worrying about the carpet on the Titanic.

Depending on Ainge to actually make a play and close out a game (muchless make a orchestrate a game winning drive) is like waiting for a hurricane in Montana.
