re: Mason can't throw the Long Ball?

I tend to agree. Before the season started all of us (or almost all) were saying he didn't have to carry the team. All he needed to do was mange the ball, not make mistakes. That is exactly what he is doing.

And, for any and all that bemoan that he hasn't thrown the ball deep? He runs the plays that are called from the sideline. I suspect we will see them open it up a bit as the season goes along. When he came in at the end of last year he threw the ball well. As the receivers and he feel more confident with each other we will throw the ball more and open up the offense a bit. I think we will see a much improved passing game in a couple more weeks.
