The three most important attributes for a QB are ball security, accuracy and decision making. Hutson Mason excelled in all three of those areas. I already miss Hutson.

There is no advantage to keeping Eason completely out of action next year. How much Jacob plays depends on his relative performance. I hope he lights up scoreboards like a Christmas tree.
This is what scares me about the whole thing. Say our QB situation is a cluster frick this year. Brice never gets his head in it, Lambert acts more like Hoo, and Bauta proves to be one dimensional. And we then go with Eason in 2016. What I don't like about that is we waste the next 2 years of Chubb and Carter. Not waste but we don't fully utilize two of the most talented freshman in a while. It'd be par for the course but it'd kill me to see Chubb have to run with 3 or more QBs in his tenure.

We have all the pieces in line for 2016 and have a legitimate shot at a NC and Spurrier retires and SC's first call is Pruitt....

I never really considered the possibility that our QB play could be worse than last year. Now I'm depressed.

I see it more as high risk/high reward vs. Low risk/low reward.
Hutson was certainly the latter... he never lost us games and he never won us games.

How quickly we forget the Joes. Tereshinski and Cox hold a special place in Bulldog hearts everywhere.

Love those Joes

Joe Cox did a lot considering his Oline and the play of his defense. Switch him with the Bama QB and he is in the running for Heisman...

Dude was a turnover machine. He was better than we give him credit for, at least better than Joe T (who isn't) but he's still the worst QB of the Richt era besides Corey Phillips and Joe T.

He was efficient in terms of turnvoers, yea. He was good at not hurting Georgia. But his inability to make anything happen beyond 9 yards was a pretty damn big liability in it's own right. He isn't the worst QB Georgia has had under Richt but he is definitely hanging out with Joe T and Joe Cox at the bar.

Not even close...Mason did what was asked of him and
the threat of our passing was enough to open up our running game. Joe T?Have you ever looked at his numbers?Productivity?Have no idea how the guy was even a top prospect in HS...guess his name carries a little weight.
Lets see how everything pans out next year but theres no doubt he'll be missed.

And this my friends, is Richts career in a nut shell.
The inability to build an "entire" team for multiple years in a row is my only complaint against Richt.
One year it's QB issues, next year we don't have an offensive line, the next year the defense is learning a new scheme, the next year we have no DBs. It seems as though every year, save 2002 & 2005, that there have been major talent holes somewhere on the team that has prevented some otherwise really good teams from reaching their potential.
Having said all of that,
I feel like recruiting has taken a major turn in emphasis on creating the entire team. Is it the Pruitt influence?
I have no doubt that it is.
I feel like this year we have excellent numbers across the board. The only problem is how quickly the new and/or inexperienced QBs and DLs contribute quality minutes.
This could be an excellent year, but I'm already betting on next year.

Apples and oranges. Yes, Mason did what was asked but he was lucky to even get the opportunity to start. My point is, if we have a highly recruited kid like Brice, and he can't even measure up to Mason (who wasn't highly recruited) then well...that sucks.
I don't know about the rest of y'all, but I have higher expectations for brice than for hutson. So yes, I will be disappointed if he isn't better than Hutson.

Again, he was a turnover machine because he was playing from behind and was put in a lot of 2nd and 3rd and long situations.
If he had a strong Oline and only needed to pass the ball 20 times and score 20 points, he would have been in Heisman contention.

Would he have been averaging 15 YPA on those throws. No non-mobile quarterback who throws 20 times a game will ever win the Heisman in today's game. You can take that to the bank.

Bama went 14-0 in Cox's Sr season. Their QB had a very similar completion % , less TDs and less ints. He was a Heisman contender.
He also had the Heisman RB, like 3 of them, and a defense that only allowed one SEC team to score more than 20 points.
Compare those stats and ask yourself if Cox would have had to make the same throws at Bama with that line and defense. Pretty much always playing ahead and second and third and short.
I don't think Cox was a Heisman QB. I think he was smart enough and good enough to manage a game. I think McElroy was better, but if he was on the 2009 UGA team, he would be spoken of in the same conversations as cox...
