I'd like to see Mason play all four quarters on Saturday and put up relatively decent numbers because I believe that would be big for his confidence and IMO he gives us the best chance to win right now. I would also like to see him work with JSW and Malcom as many times as he can (albeit Malcom may not play a ton). I know a lot of people aren't the biggest Mason fans, so I'm curious as to what y'all think about the QB rotation against Vandy on Saturday.

Agreed, he needs to play all 4 quarters and we need to chuck the ball around all game. Richt then needs to apologize after the game to the Vandy coach and say "sorry coach, we needed to work on our passing."

Yea I'm not sure what I'm expecting to see. I think the coaches will really try and push the passing game this weekend to try and get him some type of confidence. If it's looking like we just aren't going to be able to pass the ball, maybe we see some Ramsey or Bauta? I don't see the coaches bailing on Mason right now but I also think it's getting to the point that the coaches know what we have in him and will either ride that out for the season or make a change (I'm not arguing one way or the other right now).

On the other hand, Richt has been sounding more and more like he's realizing we will live and die by the run and that at a certain point, our passing game may simply be needed to just keep a defense semi-honest and beyond that we just need to run it as much as we possibly can. I know teams need a more balanced offense to win it all and I'd love to win the east but I just don't see us being a complete enough team to be a playoff contender so sooner or later we may need to stop dicking around with forcing the passing game and just go with our stable of backs.

I want Mason to take the 4th quarter off with a 4 TD lead. Gurley resting the 4th with 180 yds and 3 TDs. I want Quavon to carry the ball 10 times for about 40 yards and a TD, and Chubb 120 yards and 2 TDs.

depends on what our strategy going forward will be. If we're gonna stick with Mason let him play the whole game, no matter the score. If we are serious about a QB rotation, then get whoever is going to be rotated as much work as possible.

If UGA gets up on Vandy real good, get Ramsey in there for some meaningful snaps, and rest Gurley. But, I have concerns about UGA being able to get up on Vandy enough, and early enough.

I am an avid Mason supporter but would like him to go a full three and reserve the 4th for whoever is truly the #2.

One of my biggest criticisms of prior years is that we could never blowout opponents in order to allow backup QBs to get meaningful reps. We did that in the Troy game but we need to do that in the other games in which we are expected to do so.

It depends on how well he does. There's no need to play him all 4 quarters if we're up by by the half, or even by the end of the 3rd.

If he struggles against Vandy's pass defense, I would hope we can get the backups in there as much as possible to get some experience, because it doesn't get much worse than Vandy. I'm confident BR can make a few throws against them, at least.
