lol, still keeping true to form huh sarge. beat down on someone in orange.

ainge is far from done. but, if he continues this next year, we are screwed. i think fulmer booted schaffer b/c he thought ainge was gonna be this great thing. now what fulmer?

i am gonna start saying this now, and hold to it until fulmer figures it out.

we need a mobile qb with a decent arm and good decision making skills. 

look what tee did. look at vince young, either vick, robinson from penn st., ohio st qb smith.  brad smith in missouri. all great runners and good arms. sorry leak u r not in this one.

lets just hope ainge can find that special "thing" he had last year.

I agree with you completely. With the vanilla UT offense a mobile QB gives the offense the one thing it really needs. Some unpredictability. People have to play the pass game honestly cause the QB might run. Same is true for the running game, the QB might keep it, so they have to play honest.

I think Fulmer cut Schaeffer cause he thought Ainge was the man next year and he didnt need him, and that would make his choice easier. He already had 2 guys, Clausen and Ainge, he thought.

How do you kick schaeffer off and not kick off Tony Mcdaniel, who broke a guy face in 4 places???? Only Fulmer can answer that.

historically he has kicked the wrong ppl off the team. and it is usually superstars or really good players. banks, onterio smith, schaeffer, i think there are a few more.

maybe we can stay out of trouble this off season.

and i looked on rivals and we arent even trying to recruit a moble qb. stupid.

ainge seems to be getting worse instead of better. i'll go back to the UAB game when i could not believe how bad he looked, and all the little mistakes he is making are mostly on him. he takes a sack that is fine, but to ground the ball, throw it over your shoulder they teach you not to do that in high school. atleast they did on my team. like i said maybe he can regain his form and be a good QB. possible yes do i see it happening i don't think so, i think crompton will be the man.

what is with everyone with sanders qb coaching???????  He was the one coaching the qbs last year!!! Your telling me that ainges high school taught him how to play at ut his freshman year?????? hell no!  its anige pure and simple!!

[snapback]184792[/snapback]​

Ainge certainly didn't know as much as he does now. Last year, he didn't look as bad. He is worse than he was last year. That could be coaching or the lack of. It could be a lot of things. Doesn't matter anyway, this season is done.

i know one thing for sure, if crompton doesnt have the brain and he isnt the answer for our qb situation, things are gonna get worse next year. our d will be depleted and wont be able to carry us. could be a long couple of years. hope yall are ready for a long and bumpy ride.

 

[smokedog#3]

i agree charly that is the reason i can't be optomistic. we can only hope one of these guys can get there act together and lead the team. if not we are in serious trouble.

Yes you are right last year he didnt look as bad but after he got hurt he forgot to pick up his balls!! listen i dont like getting beat!! but i dont understand why people can be so stupid not to think about this abd open their eyes!!! ainge was doing good his freshman year looked to be a great qb!! but then he got hurt and he has played like sh** every since!!! thats facts not opinion!

Brady Quinn had a 41% completion rate his soph. year, and he wasn't splitting reps with a Clausen.

What my open eyes see is a kid with an arm you can't throw away so flippantly.

Are the illegitimate son of Sarge? I think that saying Ainge has lost his courage is pointless. He has made some dumb mistakes in certain situations. Lots of players do it. I don't think that he's using his head like he should. I think that his mechanics are off sometimes, I think that Foster not blocking well in the backfield hurt him etc. etc.

If he was scared to play then I don't think that he would be out there in the first place. Some people like to take the bad mistake of always trying to make something happen as being scared and it's just stupid. I'm not buying it. Did you see him running the ball yesterday? Did you see him slide and get drilled and hop right back up and continue to drive?

I could on and on but it's pointless. Bottom line, there are many things at work as to why Ainge is underperforming and saying that he lost balls is just about the least of the problems.

yea but they make machines that can throw a football but see there is a problem it dont have a brian and balls!! just like ainge dont!! It dont matter if he can trow it 100 yards if he dont use that big head of is it does us no good!

 

[Lexvol]

I tried to explain this earlier. Problem is that he is leaving his nuts with the cute little vixen that he visits on Friday night.

If they glue his butt to a chair in the film room, and work with him he will be fine. People go from tentative to aggressive play all the time. He looked plenty smart enough last year.

OWB im not pround of typing this stuff!! and im not trying to be a punk!! Im just stating facts!! And there is times when ainge looks great!!! But the facts go back to the time the boy got hurt!! that leaves me to belive something is not right. he has his highlights and his badlights but his badlights is really showing more than his highlights!! im not personally attacking you!! Not really him but i dont like loseing and i think he is not our answer right now for sure!!

wow one this whole year!!!!  wow what about your boy throwing 2 interceptions???  2 intentional grounding calls.  You sure as hell cant blame it on the defense.  They beat us 41-21 thats more than one touchdown!

[snapback]184768[/snapback]​

(Don't forget th long fourth quarter pass at Bama!&#33 It was a total team loss. Don't just pick on poor Eric. :nono:

and that was not agianst a starter by the way!!! the alabama pass!!

 

[smokedog#3]

we will all find out next year. hopefully one of the guys come though. if not well, i believe fulmer played his last card at UT.

Well none of us like losing. The fact of the matter is, you can't blame just Ainge for that loss. Our special teams were horrible again, gave up a score, dropped another one on the doorstep and left him and the offense in some bad situations. The receivers think that the ball should be gift wrapped and Fed Ex delivered right into their arms. The blocking wasn't the best. There are coaching problems along with execution problems. The defense let a 6 yard pass turn into a 75 yard run after we tied. Plus, we aren't getting any breaks this season. It's not all his fault and I thought he played pretty gutsy right up until the last half of the 4th quarter.

I totally disagree. He was playing just like this in 2004. Look at the tape and look at the stats through the lens of this year. He just hasn't improved any. People have greatly exagerrated his play last year.

Your right by no means did i mean ainge was the person that lost us the ball game!! i didnt mean that in any of my statemets. This team should not be called a team!! the defense yes!!! But you are right it alot of things!! but my point was is even if anige is being coached right if he dont want to listen or prehaps is scared or whatever his problem is that he can only be coached so far and told so much!! Then its time for him to make some plays. I understand he is young!! But he was a star in the making last year now he is playing like a terd!! And he has the same coach he had last year that made him look like a star freshman so i dont think he is not being coached right.. thats not saying cutcliff or somebody is not better but he is being coached better than he is playing!
