Ainge REALLY hurt his NFL stock...

I thought this one was interesting.

NFL Draft Countdown - The Wright Stuff NFL Draft Blog

Take a look at his blog on 12/04.

Wright usually knows what he's talking about. Only time will tell on this one.

Man, talk about a reach... Derek Anderson? :ermm:

If you look at the physical traits, they are a lot alike.

If you look at the physical traits, they are a lot alike.

We all know that Ainge's problems were not his physical traits (well outside of injuries). 2005 up to now has been all about his mental state.

So?

Anderson is lucky he's throwing to Edwards, Winslow and Jurevicious or Quinn would be in there.

Ainge will get drafted and hold a clipboard for 7 years.

Ainge has been a warrior...I don't question his heart or toughness. But his poor decision making and lack of overall quarterback ability was exposed by the Tiger defense.

I see three glaring weaknesses that will seriously hamper Eric's ability to play on Sunday...

1) Can't "look off" defenders. Following his primary receiver on the entire route...way too often.

2) Gives up on plays and throws the ball away well before any significant pressure comes...sadly, it's my opinion that this "feel" can't be taught...

3) Inability to throw the deep ball with success. This may not be all Eric's fault...I realize UT doesn't have blazing speed at receiver this season...and he was also injured at the beginning of the year.

Just my opinion...

If you want a barometer to measure it by I specifically remember the countless times that Peyton Manning use to throw the ball into coverage and throw it up for grabs as opposed to throwing it way when he initially entered the NFL. Ainge's size and arm will make him a draft pick in mid rounds I'd guess.

Erik was running the West coast offense.

He just did'nt tell anyone

Here's my take. EA never sees a regular season snap in the NFL.

I hope he proves yall wrong. I think he is going to be great

I wouldn't go that far, but that is a lot closer to the truth than some of these guys saying he'll be a 1st rounder or have a long NFL career.

I haven't seen anything out of Ainge that makes me go, "wow, that kid is going to be special on Sundays".

Jim Sorgi has made a helluva career out of holding clipboards.

Give him a year or two with the right coaches in the NFL and he will come out and pull a Romo! He is going to be way better than all of you think. :yes:

Chad Henne is ranked too high. I actually consider him and Ainge to be about equal.

 

[VolsRule]

Ainge will end up playing in Europe or arena ball somewhere. He's not nfl quality.
