Buck Belue.


Well yes and no.

Buck, overall, was honestly a really shitty QB. Like pretty bad. But he had a couple things going for him. Obviously he was the QB in 1980 when we won the national title so people remember that. He was part of the most famous play in UGA history. He also came off the bench in 1978 and threw a pass to amp arnold to beat tech. So he's got a few big name plays to his name, despite overall being a really below average QB.

Mason overall has been a much, MUCH better QB than buck.

I can't imagine winning a NC game with a non-running qb going 1-8 passing. Although I haven't looked into it I think they were probably much more lax in letting the clock tick after plays back then than they are now. The game has changed in so many ways in the coaching of qb's at a young age and the sophistication of the offenses. Mason may be much more skilled than Buck but he is just a game manager in the same way. A.J. McCarron is another comparison in your scenario.
