After watching his only 2 games I am not convinced either. He really only looks to dump the ball off and has a tendency to lock on to recievers or take off running. I hope Bauta or Ramsey steps up if he struggles.



Exactly what Murray did his first year starting.

For Mason's sake, let's hope they can break him of the habit now that Bobo has film to show him, of himself fricking up and consequences of staring down receivers and not having pocket awareness.

For Clemson and SC to open the season, we won't have to wait 4 or 5 games into the season to figure out whether or not he's progressed on the finer points of quarterbacking.

One thing we tend to forget is that Mason has been in the system for, what, four years now? He knows it better than Murray did when he first started, did he not? And, it isn't like HM hasn't played any during those times or spent quality time with the first teamers...

Go back and watch Mason. Average at best and would make a better backup than starter. FB doesn't have it - so BR better be ready to go.

Exactly, but Murray was also just starting his college career and we were investing in him. He learned along the way but we could afford it because it was going to pay dividends later on (and it did).

But Mason has only got one more season left. If he's no better off than Murray was during his first season, I'd rather we just start over with one of our comparable QB prospects and give him a shot to grow up, like we did with Murray. With 4 years in our system, I'm hoping Mason will do much, much better than Murray did when he started. If not, then I'd consider it a wasted season at QB.
