I didn't say Mason can't stretch the field, although I'm doubtful he'll be able to do it as well as Murray and Stafford. I just said that he'll probably have to do it more than he did yesterday for our offensive scheme to perform at maximum efficiency. And I pointed out that a high completion percentage doesn't necessarily refute that argument.
Maybe Bobo made a choice to limit downfield throws yesterday because of what Clempson was doing. Maybe he didn't trust his OL, or his receivers to get open. Maybe he just correctly thought it wasn't necessary in this game. There are lots of possibilities, including the possibility that HM will have future difficulty making defenses back off because he can't hit deep passes very well. It's an interesting discussion that can be had without anyone necessarily being ignorant.

We have seen him throw a nice deep ball in other games... They were giving us the underneath for throws and edge on the run. You are worried about us stretching the field and making deep throws, yet we didn't need to. I guess some people would bitch about a blowjob cause it made their dick wet... frick n a ...

No need to be disrespectful. I understand there is a minority of know it all up posters on the uga board and respect your limitations but chill it is not necessary to be churlish just because you're anonymous,

I only remember Mason really throwing 3-4 deep (15 yards plus) balls, and 2 were real early in the game and he under threw both of them which lead to pass interference. Another deep ball he air mailed on a deep out to Bennett. Other than them, he might of threw it past 15 yards 1 or 2 more times, but not much more.
So while he had a great completion %, he only avg 5 yds a completion. Also, Bennett caught the longest deep ball @ 23 yards, and unless he caught another ball over 10 yards, the next two longest came at the 12, and 11 yards. Those numbers, while a good completion %, shows the coaches don't trust his arm, or we have no deep threats.
Also that 23 yarder to Bennett, could of been a shorter pass that went for a total of 23 yards.
Either way, he had plenty of tries early in the game, but couldn't connect(on deep balls), then in the 2nd half the coaches went with more w/ running plays.
Mason is what he is, and our offense should rely more on our RB's than on Mason making the big plays. B/c not often do them screen plays turn into really big gains. But as long as he doesn't turn the ball over, we will be fine with him @ qb. But he better not let the ball slip out of his hand again, that shouldn't ever happen.

Listen... either prove me wrong or shut the frick up with your unfounded whining... if I am as you say I am, you would have concrete evidence to display to the fine people of this very website. If you were just talking out your arse and making up football shite you heard an announcer say one time... its cool... just let me know next time...

I've seen lots of high school QBs throw a nice deep ball on a highlight film. Question is, can they do it with enough accuracy, velocity, and timing to be effective on a regular basis. If you're convinced that Hutson Mason can do that, fine. I'm not.
And yes, I would feel more confident about our offense if I was convinced, because I think Bobo's scheme needs a reasonable deep threat. Some offenses are designed to work well with primarily short passing. Bobo's hasn't worked that way in the past. If he's revamped the scheme, we'll know soon how effective it will be, because the rest of our league is taking notes right now on how we won Saturday.
On your last point, that we didn't need to make deep throws against Clemson, that's true in hindsight. But it wasn't obvious for the first three quarters that we could win this game using screens and toss sweeps. Our offense started out just as impotent against Clemson as it did against GT and Nebraska. And since Mason has started a grand total of three games, it seems prudent to see what he's capable of doing against live competition before a game is in doubt with two minutes left.

There is no bigger fan of throwing fades than me. Frankly, I think it is an easier ball to throw than a 7 yard sink route between the LBs. I just watched the game again. For whatever reason, Clemson didn't want us to throw out there. I can only assume he checked down because it was just not there too often. We had guys running those routes. It is hard for even the best wrs to get open in that part of the field when the dbs are 8-10 yards back and moving back at the snap. Technically, we don't know, based on this game how he can throw a 9 route... we do know, he makes nice reads and didnt force it or put us in a bad spot. I have seen him throw a 9 route enough in other games to not be too concerned...

Your analysis may be spot on. You probably know more about football than I do. I'm just saying that what we saw yesterday was probably the lowest passing output in yardage terms of the Mark Richt era at UGA. We did almost nothing that looked like a serious deep passing threat. Was it different by choice, or by necessity? After watching Mason so far, I honestly don't have a definite answer one way or the other.
Either way, defensive coordinators are going to sit up and take notice of that radical difference in our offense. They'll adap their game plans for UGA and they'll eventually force the issue by cheating up until Mason proves them wrong, because they know for a fact that Gurley & Co. can cause damage. I hope he can catch the safeties cheating, burn them on 30 yard post patterns and make life easier for our already impressive running backs. We'll see.

Hutson doesn't have that Aaron Murray choke gene that turns a win into a loss in big games.
Posted on 9/1/14 at 2:35 am to deeprig9
He doesn't need to throw the ball. Simple as that. But he can. He knows what he's doing.. Guy wants a ring.

Are you fricking kiddin that you dont think he can do that? He wasn't asked to, nor was there a need to. Some of yall are so fricking stupid it baffles me that you actually watch football

Hutson also doesn't have that A Murray ability to throw a team on his shoulders and carry them. Murray also had Grantham as well.
Also, A Murray was probably one of the best qb's UGA has ever had, so you shut your blasphemes mouth.
And to the people saying Huston wasn't asked to throw the deep ball, did yall not see the first two pass interference calls on Clemson? They were deep passes that were clearly under thrown. Also being able to throw a deep ball is one thing, but to put enough juice on it to make it happen is another. I'm sure Mason can throw it 50 yds (b/c hell I can, I'm way shorter than 6'3), but can he do it against an SEC team?
