Never a question in my mind when asked if Hutson Mason was/is a DGD. He was/is still a DGD.
"Expectations" are what the media and beat reporters use to keep their jobs. Truth.
Those with the most success are the ones that sit in Butts-Mehre, handle themselves in a way that is pleasing to the University of Georgia Football head football coach and athletic director.
The one time that Mark Richt showed true passion was when he was called out by a media talking head at a presser. Feel sure many remember the "incident". Check the pressers now . . . . just about as vanilla as a presser can be.
My question to you dawgs_fans_dad would go like this . . . .
Faton Bauta is going through the same Richt "ritual" as we post. Difference between Mason and Bauta, you be the judge. I however "know" that arm strength, physicality was passed over when Mason took the job. As far as knowing the playbook, AM said that Faton Bauta was right there with him. What has not happened is playing time.
So, looking back at AM, much of what was said was Mettenberger had the arm. Carry that forward, Faton Bauta had a better arm than AM, or just as good. AM was in my mind very successful, so what is all of this talk now about Ramsey's arm, Jacob Park's arm, both of which have one year and then a quarterback from Washington State is coming in to take over. This paragraph was nothing more than presenting what is said by the media and being accepted by much of the fan base. "Expectations" . . . . whose . . . . the media, coaches, athletic director, certainly not players like Faton Bauta.
Wonder if Auburn could use a player like Faton Bauta? Have asked that question before, never seem to get an answer. Could Hutson Mason have played elsewhere, yep, but not as a starting quarterback in the SEC.
One final thought. Wonder what "could" have been in Atlanta in the game against Alabama if our coaches had been prepared, AM sure as hell wanted that time out. Do I believe our coaches lost that game . . . . I sure do. Since then we continue to have coaching problems in the "4th quarter". Makes no difference how much talent "we" have on the field. Example . . . . 2014 Carolina, 2014 Georgia Tech. Leadership is the problem in Athens. Hutson Mason did not call the plays or was he the major cause of defeat in either of those games. Mark Richt was.
