Laugh now, but I guarantee you this... Crompton or Coleman will win more bowl games than Ainge and have more (or equal) wins against quality opponents in our conference than Ainge could lie about having.

Ainge is the worst thing to happen to UT football in 20 years.

:blink: i know how vehemently you believe this, but he just isn't that bad, nor is he a problem of that kind of epic proportion.

0-1 in bowl games, a 5-6 season, no SEC or SEC East championships (Rick Clausen had to take over in 2004) and not one quality win on his resume except Florida 2004.

That is just a brief overview of what Ainge has done... and I've omitted the bad points just to give the guy a fair shot.

this looks like something you've repeated to yourself constantly over and over again over a significant amount of time, so much so that after long enough, you've just begun to believe it.

yeah, it's fact that those things happened, it's not fact that ainge is the reason they happened. there is a difference.

it's like saying I'm Fat. yes , that's a fact.

saying i'm fat because of erik ainge is not.

see the difference?:eek:lol:

What does that have to do with him being a solid qb at UT?

He has been solid (meaning steady the last 2 seasons). But he hasn't done anything to win a big game when we've needed him to in Florida or Bama or Penn State, and he was hurt against LSU, Arky and the better part of this season.

There's not one game in his career outside of the 2004 Florida you can point at and say that is a signature game by Ainge... that it is a game that will be talked about 5... 10... 20 years from now, except maybe 2005 LSU.

I am still one to debate on whether one player can be single handed responsible for the downfall of one team. Ainge has maintained a good QB rating (135.89 in 04, 151.95 in 06, and a 138.62 so far this year). He also set the record of 67% completion percentage last year. So far this year he is second in the SEC in passing yard per game. He has also always been smart with the ball, not throwing more than 9 INT in one year. When I see him, I see a QB that is Peyton-like. To see where he came from in 05 to where he is today shows the heart and maturity he has shown at the QB position. If anyone wants to blame the football season on anyone, I think Ainge would be the last person I would blame. Alot of the things he does, (ie throwing the ball away, and audibles) are just what he is encoded to do by our wonderful coaching staff. If given a chance in the NFL, I think he will do great cause he has a great feel for the game.

can anyone tell me why ainge is not in the heisman discussion? he is the passing leader in the sec and has the stats to compete with any qb in the nation. he plays in the sec so if you was to put him in any other conferance he would dominate. all the other qbs mentioned in the heisman race play weak schedules and rack up stats. i know tennessee isnt having the greatest year but he cant do it all himself. i was just wondering if i was the only one who felt this way?

Although his stats are decent, I just think he's overshadowed by too many QB's on good teams with better records. Additionally, Teblow and Woodson get more press than Ainge because of their rank in the SEC east. Bottomline, to discuss quarterbacks you have to meet the bar of competing with Teblow (at least in the SEC) and Ainge just isn't close. His impact isn't near as much as Teabag's.

I totally agree with you. Ainge doesn't play defense or special teams, he's not to blame. The only two games where our offense sucked was the Florida and Bama games. I didn't really think it was as much Ainge as it was other players not stepping up, our O-gameplan against the other team's D-gameplan was not better. Therefore, we didn't have much of a chance.

That is why I have a problem with Heisman race. It is all media hype. Dont care for Heisman anymore, or should I say Hypesman.

I think Ainge is a good QB not great. He reminds me of Doug Johnson or Chris Rix. Has all the tools but does not have it between the ears.

Ainge has more tools at receiver than Woodson. And to say our offense was bad just against Fl and Bama is saying that we just didn't score against our 2 biggest conference rivals...
