Ainge's knee

Even if he is back in time for the season opener, which he should be, this is still going to hurt the passing game in the offseason. Ainge needed that time to get used to his new and inexperienced set of receivers.

For a senior QB, Ainge's freshman numbers might be only slightly above average (especially if you account for the number of games he missed). However, for a TRUE freshman, his numbers were outstanding. The numbers of Matthew Stafford and Mitch Mustain, two rock star recruits, from this year should vouch for this.

Agreed Ainge is the better option. But lets not get carried away, he ain't all that! The Wrs improved greatly last year, a luxury he won't have this year! Not to mention OL questions.

Fr.- mediocre- ABOVE AVERAGE
Soph- tanked
Jr- above average ONE OF THE BEST GOING
Sr- will define EA

Robert Meachem had to run and cut much more than Erik will so hopefully that may mean they can just remove it and go on. Whatever is best for Ainge.

Oh wait, he probably will have to run alot. I totally forgot about the success they had running the QB sneak against Carolina last year.

One thing to consider is that while I am no doctor I would assume that repairing the knee would be the best thing long term. If that is the case, I wonder how that will affect the decision making process on how to attack the problem. Obviously UT would like to have him back ASAP but Ainge has pro aspirations.......

Yeah uh... that sucks.

Hopefully it's not as serious as Meachem's deal a few years ago.

This sucks. I know that Crompton has a rocket arm and all that, but Im really not sold on him. Im not sure how so many other people are based SOLELY on what we have seen. Hell, Fulmer was telling him to grow some balls at halftime of the Ar-kansas game.

This reminds me of last year when people were saying "Oh no big deal if Ainge is hurt, we got Crompton". Yes, Crompton will be a year older, but his receivers wont be as good as they were last year.

As for Ainge, being injured every year cant look good on his pro resume. Its a shame he's snakebit. Hopefully he wont need the hardcore surgery, but the way our football luck has gone the past couple years...

"8-12 weeks" according to Fulmer. Let's just see. This is also the best thing to happen to Nick Stephens, and probably the worst thing to happen to stability on the depth chart. Huge upside with Stevens. There could be a 3 way logjam during the summer.

Highly doubt it. Unless you're talking about 3rd string QB. Stephens does have promise but to think he would push either Ainge or Crompton is insane

The good news is that puts him back in the saddle in time for Summer Practice . . . and eliminates the threads about whether or not the spread option will be incorporated. :crazy:

He can definately push Crompton. According to many people he can throw the best ball on campus. If Stephens can learn to check down to his second and third options instead of running after his first option isnt there (like Crompton), he can definately push for some reps during practice.

Doubtful at best.
