Scott Wright on Erik Ainge

[volley]

A four-year starter in the SEC...Has missed action with injuries to his shoulder ('04), neck ('05), ankle ('06) and knee ('07)...

Nice stats there, very telling. Although he missed a couple more for '07 (Pinky and Shoulder)

Well I don't agree that he freezes up under duress, but I agree that he doesn't make plays under duress. Cutcliff realized this and conditioned him to throw it away 90% of the time he gets bothered. The other 10% well we've all seen that too.

Not tough enough to be an effective SEC qb. Certainly not tough enough to make it as a pro qb.

other than boom or bust, what else is there?

Guys like Brady and Romo were doubted too. You can never know who is gonna be a great NFL QB.

Business, you know better than to throw this out here for my consumption. :no:

Noticed that the 2007 stats were not included. This may be a year old evaluation. Wonder what he thinks after Ainge's spectacular senior season.

give me a break. ainge had a solid and productive year in 2007.

Ainge threw 9000 passes in 2007....8000 were under 4 yards and 1000 were to the bleachers....guess you're right, he was productive....

Why is there still an Ainge thread on here?

 

[Pocket Passer]

I think the most key statement in the article is the one that says 'probably a boom or bust '..... not sure you can put it any better....

Why is there still an Ainge thread on here?

ainge can throw the ball downfield. it just didn't happen as much this year because of his injury.
