Should the Dawgs be worried about Mason? I was not impressed with Mason at all. His arm seems like pee shooter and floats the ball. Joe Cox looks better than him so far. I know this is being hard after the first game but I am being honest. We need an accurate passing game when the running is stopped. I hope he improves in Columbia.

Don't recall Mason throwing any pics last night. Can't remember the last time a UGA quarter back didn't throw a pic.

Mason will be just fine.

Is he the most talented QB we've ever had? No. But what I liked most last night was that he didn't piss the game away. He didn't turn the ball over or make any terrible decisions. He was very consistent and that's what your quarterback has to be in order to win.

It was a big game and his first home opener. He didn't make mistakes, stayed within himself and we won in a blowout.

Mason will continue to improve. Not worried about the QB this year.

Of corse he didn't give the game away. He handed the ball off just fine. Those two deep passes that were under thrown sucked tho. Personally I don't think he's very good. Hopefully, we won't be in too many situations where we have to rely on the passing game.

18/26 131 yards

He doesn't need to be great just good enough. Which I think he will

I hope. If we can dominate the run game every game, then we can probably live with that mason. But teams adjust. At some point, we'll probably need mason to make important throws. I'll withhold judgment till then.

We needed him to do it in the last two games last season and he came up big. Unfortunately, against Nebraska, our receivers couldn't make the important catch. But Mason came through.

He's not a Manning, but I think he's going to continue to improve and he will be a big reason for our success this season.

Richt has forgotten more about QBing than most mortal men will ever know.
Point being, if Richt is cool with Mason, then I am too.

Dafuq???

He threw for 69.2%, no int's, ran for a TD(2 yrds), only had 1 sack, 11 of our 22 1st downs were from throws, and he threw 6 of 18 balls over 10 yards, 3 of 18 over 15 yards, and 1 of 18 for 23 yards, plus a 9 yard pass to Blazevich for a 1st down.

You seriously have to be a fool to some how come away from this being worried about Mason and compare him to Joe Cox. Mason's throw to Bennett in the endzone where the two Clemson players collided and got hurt was a perfect pass. It was put in the only possible place for Bennett to catch it. The back shoulder throw to Bennett was absolutely perfect as well.

Not to mention we're missing our two best deep threats and, fact is, we don't need to throw deep when we have 5 freaking dominant RB's, one of which is the best player in all of college football.

You're off your rocker with this nonsense.

Yep, scrambled for good yardage. Didn't force shite. His long balls were shitty but his receivers didn't get any separation at all.

Look, he threw 300 vs. Tech and won. Threw for 300 vs. Nebraska lost.

Once the two better WRs come back everything will be clicking soundly.

He'll be fine. A couple of times his footwork in the pocket looked a little off but overall he kept it together and didn't frick up.

If you want a run and gun spread offense go be Auburn or Oregon fan. Hudson did exactly what he was suppose to do and did it at a high percentage. Hutson is a Qb who will win a championship!!!

One things you need to recognize about Disney: The man knows more than most about the quarterback position and the game of football. He played college football for both Kirby Smart and Paul Johnson.

Second, Mason looked okay, not great, not bad,but okay. He screwed up that long pass to Chris Conley (which resulted in PI on Clemson). The perfect pass would have involved Mason leading Conley into the 10 plus yards of wide open end zone space in front of him. Mason also telegraphed far too many of his reads last night, especially in the passes to the running backs. He also under threw a 20 plus yard pass to a wide open Bennett on the sideline.

While every quarterback has a bad game and it's hard to judge Mason on this one game a lone, Mason better figure out how to stretch the field and and how to disguise those screen passes better.

It also more important to remember that Mason had the luxury of a dominate running game and defense. Two things joe cox lacked. I'm not certain at this stage that Mason is better.

Hutson Mason did well enough to win the game.

How many years as Georgia fans have we watched NFL caliber QB's lose the big game for The Dawgs?

I don't think Mason is quite bottom of the barrel as Joe Cox. He did throw a 20 yard rainbow that reminded me of Joe.

Imma giving Mason a pass. What I liked best was no Int. no fumbles & only 1 sack...We were missing JSW and Mitchell....plus Rumph didn't play. Also Conley was banged up, so we really had no threats out there at WR for the whole game.
