MANDEL’S MAILBAG
CNNSI’s Stewart Mandel trots out his regular mailbag feature again. In his piece, he chronicles the disappearing act done by several young promising players. It is a must read for at least this classic line:
Tennessee QB Erik Ainge: Why did he wait until his sophomore year to start making freshman mistakes? Admittedly, Philip Fulmer’s constant yo-yoing of his quarterbacks probably hasn’t helped the kid’s confidence, but that interception Ainge lobbed out of his own end zone on Monday night looked like something straight out of a Chris Rix instructional video.

I don’t believe anyone considers Fulmer to be a QB coach. Losing Cutcliffe really hurt them.
When has quarterback juggling EVER worked in college? Did Spurrier ever do it effectively? I just don’t see why coaches continue to do this despite the fact that it always fucking fails.

It worked pretty well for Tennessee last year, and that’s the problem.

Funny stuff. The moment Ainge made that throw, the first comment (after “whatthehell?!”) in the room was, “Was that Chris Rix?”
