Quick comment and question...Would Ainge be better if he actually had help and not guys dropping balls that hit them in the numbers??? He looks comfortable running the offense even if it is a sucky one....If he was playing at lets say olllllll Florida:furious3:would his college football career be totally different...If so whats that saying about Tennessee??....

Ainge would be spectacular given a good WR core and a good head coach. With the help David Cutcliffe and Manning gave him this off season, and last years WR core he would be putting up absurd numbers.

He wouldn't play at Florida, simply because he wouldn't fit in that offense. But I agree with Dickens... he'd be amazing with the right guys to help him out.

No, he would be worse.

He would dominate in their spread-option attack, passing for 300 game, all the while running over 240lbs linebackers for numerous first downs.

Ainge is a excellent QB, not just physically gifted, but mentally as well. I could see him continue to develop and hold a spot on an NFL team. His size is perfect for an NFL QB.

Ainge is definitely a talent. I have a bad feeling we will really miss him next year.

He's not in complete command of the offense. If he was, we wouldn't look like meercats out there.

Word. But he is a great QB, dealing with very inexperienced recievers. He'll do well in the NFL eventually. That work this off season really helped him mentally I think. It also makes me think that if Peyton can teach Ainge that well... he might be a good coach one day.

He's an amazing passer. He makes a good amount of NFL throws every week, and even with a considerable amount of drops each week, he has over a 65% completion rate.

Not to devalue Peyton's wisdom, but I'm pretty sure he gave Ainge some tips before the 2005 season, as well.

I'll take the same approach that I take with the die hard University of Fulmer fans.

We played Ark St. Ainge has played well this year, but still, it's Ark St. He should pass for 300/4tds.

That being said, I don't really have any complaints with him thus far.

Considering those cobbled-together fingers; the players around him; the play calling - I think he is doing great.

I think Ainge will be a starting QB for a NFL team, if he can stay healthy long enough to get the job.

There is nothing wrong with the offense. It is the same offensive system that teams in the NFL run (like say the Colts). Its the execution that stops our offense. The same execution issues would hurt us no matter what offensive system we ran. Ainge is a very, very good QB who will become a starting QB in the NFL if he stays healthy.

i think at this point, that may be the only legit criticism anyone can have about Ainge.

he's done fine so far this year. it would be nice if the running game was more consistent, that would help. it would be nice if WR's, eh hem, austin rogers, wouldn't drop the easy ones.

Ainge has had a couple of mis fires, that everyone has seen, but so does every qb.

and you're right, the offensive scheme/system isn't really the problem, minus some very questionable play calls and personnel decisions.
