Also, a lot of people likely have a bad impression of Mason that is unwarranted. For starters, he shattered state of GA passing records in high school, so it's not like the guy doesn't have talent.

But honestly, most people have 2 career games to judge him on. The first was on the road in his first career start, and he led a 20 point comeback against our biggest rival. The second was in absolutely horrid weather and he threw for like 330 yards in a loss, but anyone who watched the game knows that the loss isn't his fault. Hell, even the last drive he put us where we needed to be and TE dropped the ball.

Mason's biggest problem is inexperience, but an entire year of reps with the 1s will help a lot. Of course, having Gurley/Marshall and the best WR core in the league will help too. Mason won't be as good as Murray, but there's no reason he can't be damn good either. He will surely be better than clint mosely.

This. As for myself, I'm kind of hoping for a slightly more mobile David Green.

As with most QBs, and especially at UGA, the key will be limiting the unforced errors.

Translation: He needed OT to beat worthless GT and then lost to Nebraska. If the new DC doesnt get them going fast, he may be throwing a lot of 300 yard games in losses.
