He's so good that he has been on the bench. Ainge will start, if he can regain his confidence that PF and RS destroyed.

We will have the annual noncommital from Phil, "best man wins" in Spring and this will continue over to Fall. It will either be Crompton or Ainge assuming we do not sign soemone wit literally heavenly qualities.

I expect we will still have a two QB rotation, Crompton adds qualities that Ainge does not.

It should be ainge, I just dont see why he wont get his fair shot. put him back in the game fulmer. I remeber people wanted to chase Jason Campbell out of Auburn after having a couple bad years. And look what he did as a seinor. If you stick with a qb, you will see results. everyone goes through growing pains and they catch up with ya sooner or later. Clausen is decent, but to conserative, we need Ainge back in now and next season for that matter.

I don't know much about Crompton. Can he scramble? I like quarterbacks that can scramble. They add the extra dimension. Kinda like Vick and McNair (in his prime).

Runs a 4.8 . I mean he aint lighting but he aint slow either. He is more of a pocket passer, but if my knowledge is correct, has he been studying the tennessee playbook for the past 2 years?

I really think Ainge has a problem with his mechanics.

You dont go from being a fairly accurate qb to throwing most passes 4 yds over everyone's head after an injury, without something changing in his mechanics.

If we had a qb coach worth his money he would have alread corrected this.

I dont buy the arguement Ainge has a problem in his head. That injury to his collarbone affected his throwing motion in some way. It may be he simply got stronger after all the rehab and what used to be on target is now overthrows. But it doesnt look like to me that he throws the ball with more velocity now. If anything he had more on the ball last year.

Probaly what is more likely, Ainge is trying to compensate for his weaker arm by putting more air on the ball and its starting to take off on him a little bit. Its obvious to me, that Ainge needed more work with his mechanics after the injury and instead he was splitting time with Clausen and never got it. Now what was something that could have been corrected by some good coaching on his techniques has probably now affected his confidence to some degree. I'm not a big Ainge fan now. But is seems to me, that Ainge didnt get the kind of extra work he needed coming back from an injury to get back on track and get his throwing motion consistent.

This is a classic case, why we really need a qb coach who knows what he is doing, and can work with ainge on his throwing motion until he is comfortable with it cause it really looks to me like Ainge isnt even sure where the ball is going to end up.

Doesn't matter. The psychology of an athlete isn't determined by injury alone. Sometimes, all it takes is blow to the ego, and who are the most egotistical athletes on the planet.... QBs (because they have to be).

Depends on how smart Crompton is. If he can grasp the offense the way CPF wants the quarterback to and he has the physical abilities... then I think he can start. However, if he is still learning the offense and Ainge already has a grasp of it by the beginning of next season, then I think it will be Ainge. Remember, Ainge has experience with wins over Florida, Georgia and Alabama.

What hurts this season is the "what if?" If Shaeffer were still at Tennessee, would the offense still be so bad? Would the Vols be 3-3?

Well, when was the last time we had a mobile QB...98...T...we know what happened.

I don't want to think about that right now. We do know that CPF is not scared to start a younger QB over a older one, just like he did last year when he benched CL Leak last year in favor of the two froshes. I /think/hope/pray it's going to be ainge, keep crompton on the sideline two more years and let him come when the time is right.

But if he goes into spring training and blows up, i am going to deny everything i put here :pepper:

Sorry, I just dont see the Ainge family suffering from blows to their ego. I'm not sure how much eric is like his uncle, but if he is any indication, I dont see eric having problems in this area. As a true freshman he had no problems at all with this.
I still believe his mechanics after the injury, arent exactly what they need to be, and thats the reason his throws are inconsistent and off target.

i'll go on record saying either crompton or a junior college qb will start next year. fulmer has no faith in ainge and i don't think he will ever start another game in orange. i would like to see fulmer let ainge play to see if he could regain last year's form, but if he has more faith in an armless clausen, he won't get a chance.

It doesn't matter who it is. Ainge and Crompton both will be jerked around like it has been for the past 2 years. All PF is doing is ruining them and trying to keep them from transfering. If another Clausen comes you know who will start. He must be wanting a clausen son in law.

Still it doesn't matter. PF and Sanders has ruined Ainge by not stepping in when the line and receivers threw Ainge to the dogs at LSU by making him look so bad. As obvious as the nose on your face.

No matter who it is you still have the same 2 calling the same plays they've called for the past 5 years. They don't play to win they play to try to keep from losing.

No agressiveness.

I read a story about Crompton that said he threw a game winning touchdown pass and started jogging off the field in celebration before the ball was even caught.

You won't see Crompton. He is injured.
