Greer: Hopefully on Angies contract before they sober up in New York. He might make a good NFL QB if the opposing defenses lets Ashley count 10 Mississippi before they rush him. In the pro's you can acually sign the balls before you throw them in the stands. He should be a fan favorite. Go Crompton 08!!! Free TDTN

Thank you hcjounals. You would think he was guilty of purposely giving games away. He gave his all for Tennessee. If you think his all wasn't enough, then that is a different story. Then blame the coaches for giving him the keys to the car in the first place, but he drove it the best he could. I, for one, hope he is a success at whatever he does in life and appreciate his efforts. Who am I to judge his quarterback ability? He is certainly better than me!

Although never a huge fan of ainge, never threw him under the bus either. I was at the notre dame game his sophomore year when he hurt his shoulder right before the half (stupid play call). He never was the same after that. Look at the lsu game where he made that ludicrous 360 degree underhanded pass..BUT the man came a long way after that. It always seemed the aforementioned notre dame game was in the back of his mind every time a rush came at him. With that being said, he couldn't have landed at a better place than the Jokes, um I mean Jets. Good luck erik.

VolsfannUSAF are you serious Pennington is from Knoxville? Really? Next you're gonna tell me he played at Webb High School and then went on to play for Marshall? No way! He represents Knoxville not the University of Tennessee, thats what we were saying. But I'll do some "research" and you do some searching for common sense. Thanks.

He did his best under the Cutcliffe system. He was a good student athlete representative for UT.

Some of you jugheads would take a thug who had a few good numbers over Ainge as an example of a UT student athelete. (Ya'll can pencil in names here.)

I'll say it again, I see no good that comes from slamming a kid who did the best he could with what he had to give.

Posted by KingsportVol on July 8, 2008 at 7:11 p.m. (Suggest removal)

givim6: He did his best under the Cutcliffe system? You can't be serious. Many on here think Buttcliffe is the best QB coach on the planet. I think he just had 2 QB's win Super Bowls. So you are not going to win that argument. Bottom line is he played over a more talented healthier QB for what ever reason. But let's not start on the coaching staff.

Posted by givim6 on July 8, 2008 at 7:27 p.m. (Suggest removal)

King: Just got to respond. Never was a Cutcliffe fan in spite of his ties to Mannings. I'm just saying that Ainge should not be slammed because of stats/wins/losses.

He was a good student athlete representative of UT.

I stand by it!

givim6: agree with last part of your post. Just because he played injured does not mean he played with heart. He took the easy road to many times for me. I think most of us will be satisfied with the effort we will get from Crompton this season. I agree with alot the things you post. But we can't agree all the time. Looking forward to a fresh start.

Hope Ainge does well! As for Bill Bates, nafslov, please tell me you are being funny by saying he was a wasted player? I mean, we are talking about Bill Bates, possibly the biggest heart and hardest working player to ever run through the T. If you are questioning his effort, desire, dedication, and Ability. Well, than I really think you should re-evaluate what you think a real footbll player should bring to a team. Hell, the great Tom Landry said it best, when asked why Bill Bates was retained on the team for so many years, he simply said--"Hell, I have tried to cut him, He just keeps out working everyone else". "How do you cut a guy that keeps making Plays?"

Ainge was the best Pro-style QB in the SEC last season! He throws for 61% as a FOUR year starter in the toughest conference in america, and ya'll call him not tough? What the F#*$?

He led U.T. to 'two SEC East titles', with inferior talent his last year. 10 wins, 10 wins and 9 wins when he was named 'the man' is tough in the SEC. If he 'doesn't throw it away', he gets sacked. With the 'O' we had last year, 3rd and 15 was death. Throw it away, get to 2nd and 10 and avoid an unnecessary hit by an SEC middle-linebacker and throw a strike on 2nd and 10!.(idiots)

With his arm, size, mobility, quick release, vision and his 'ability to win' when behind late, will make Ainge an excellent NFL QB. Look out KC and CP in the next year or so!!

PS: who was 3-0 -v- georgia; twice between the hedges? who beat South Carolina 3 times? Who beat Kentucky 3 times? Who beat Alabama 2 of 3? Who was 2-0 -v- Vanderbilt? He only beat Florida once, one more than Peyton.
"This young man can throw, lead and win!!"
