Folks like Clause cause he whooped up on florida.
Mind you florida was really down one of those years(03)
and Clause had far better players around him.
On that 01 team every player he threw to and handed the ball off to was on a NFL roster within 2 years.
Stephens, Stallworth, Witten, Washington,
Think he also had wash blocking for him

On the other side he played for RS while Ainge got to play for cut.

Bottom line.... I would rather have Clausen in the SECC last year. With him we win.

lol so now that your argument of statistics is broken, you go on gut instinct that Clausen is better.

So before when you said the stats speak for themself, now you're saying they don't?

Keep peddling backwards, your arguments keep helping me.:clapping:

And to whom ever said that Clausen's stats were better than Ainge's are you blind?

I just looked at them, and Ainge's are better than Clausens across the board. For his career, and if you take their best seasons and compare.


Clausen career stats
Total yards: 8234
TD's: 60

Erik Ainge career stats
Total yards: 8700
TD's: 72



Clausens best year 2003:
Completion %:56.6%
Yards:2968
TD's:27
Int:9
Rating:134.32


Ainge's best year 2007:
Completion %:62.6%
Yards:3522
TD's:31

Int:10
Rating:135.48


Not sure where you got some of those stats but they are not all correct.

Per UT's Media guide

Clausen career yards 9,707 TD's 75
Completion % career 61.0%

Ainge 8,700 TD's 72
Comp % career 60.6

I got his career stats at ESPN. My bad. Sorry for mistake on Career Stats.

Your whole arument was based on your incorrect "stats." Now what will you base your argument on?

Ainge's best season stats are still better than Clausen's.

And it wasn't an argument for me, someone else was saying that Clausen's stats were better. I just went to check them out, and I guess ESPN has the wrong career stats up for Clausen.

IMO Clausen had as much talent as ainge but good ole randy sanders made him worse... Ainge would have been a lot worse than clausen if sanders was still here and not Cut so what is comes down to is Cut>Sanders

I'm not going to disagree that Cut > Sanders, but Casey did not have as much talent as Ainge. Clausen was small without a great arm. Ainge was big with a rifle. I am actually a fan of Casey because he was able to have success through grit and heady play in spite of his physical limitations.

Bottom line.... I would rather have Clausen in the SECC last year. With him we win.

Based on Casey's numerous SEC championships?

Based on him not coughing it up twice in the last moments of important games.

And I never said the stats spoke for themselves. But apparently they do.

You are probably correct that Ainge has more talent and a bigger arm. But do you ever remember that arm being on display? I don't his last two years. I know he had a pinky injury last year but I cannot remember one deep throw from Ainge the last few years. When Clausen was around I remember him connecting on plenty of deep balls.

And Ainge's worst season is far worse than Clausen's worst season.

Ainge had plenty of deep balls in 06.

Interceptions or not, I'm not sure how losing to an inferior LSU team in the championship is any better than losing to a superior one.

Would you say that loss was completely on his shoulders?

I wouldn't

07 was on Ainge.
