Glory Glory Hallelujah! Redskins Reportedly Sign RB Marcus Mason

Well it's obvious the Skins should simply dump their talent scouts and hire some of you guys cause simply put they just picked up a piece of crap that should not be holding a roster spot. Especially after he was let go last yr cause he sucked. and he sucked cause he could not beat out the previous 3 RB's who have been in the league for several yrs. I guess Balt. talent scouts suck also cause they picked him up after we let him go, then low and behold the Jets have talent scouts that suck also. Probubly even worse cause they put him on their active roster even though they did not use him.

Well, I'm glad our talent scouts suck.

Your love of Mason is perhaps only surpassed by Offiss' love of Ramsey

No, but seriously. Explain this to me, I have no oppinions at the moment so i can be easily swayed, who is he, what position does he play, how does this help us.... I am in the dark here.

Marcus Mason (http://www.nfl.com/players/marcusmason/profile?id=MAS191461)

slide to the right and look at his sucky runs.. against 2nd stringers.

I don't see this as an issue if you all would just simply agree to let JC go, let Colt be the QB handing off to Mason during the season. There would be no fued. lol.

I was talking about which group would have a bigger man-crush. LOL.

I think the issue with Mason was not that he sucked. It's just that he offered less than any other RB on our roster. He couldn't contribute on teams and so he was let go.

Dude, I understand. But many NFL teams keep only 3 backs and the Redskins made it clear that they would only have kept 4 as an exception. That exception was not made for football reasons, as you indicate. However, a previous post implied that Mason had some kind of right to a 4th spot and that he was dealt with dishonestly, or in other words, it was not a football decision.

Put differently: If Mason beat out Portis, Betts, or Rock, there would have been no discussion on this issue. James is completely irrelevant to this.

Put yet differently: If the Redskins had it out for Mason and he was dealt with dishonestly, why would they bring him back, and why would he so quickly agree to come back?

Well we laid claim to him and won that. I don't recall some huge dishonesty issue, I mean sure it looked like we might carry him into the season, but we didn't; was there a huge fit about that that I don't recall?

Let's just hope that he can prove that he's worthy of a spot, which he hasn't here or elsewhere.

Good for him I always liked him, we need a young hungry RB behind CP I really didn't like what I saw from Betts (he did have a couple good carries toward the end of the season) but all in all is he worth the cap space? Does he produce enough to warrant a roster spot? I'll take Mason ..

Will post a link once I see one Why sign him? Didn't we get someone else from CFL that has what he has and will be cut in Aug? Guess both can talk to the Turk together!

Any chance we can sign Mix again? He works for me in Madden!

Ya know, first talent scouts and player personnel people acquire players. then you put them on the field, and the coaches evaluate same talent. Sometimes, a player looks great on paper and doesn't cut it on the field or vice versa. Mason looks good on paper, and is ok on the field. I don't think anyone on this board is suggesting he doesn't have talent, moreso, that he doesn't seem to move into the top rung of talent when he has the chance to shine.

Look, if he comes back, competes, and wins the spot, then I am very confident that everyone would support him and be excited for him. But, if as expected, he gets cut, I doubt it will be the difference in the Skins season.

Oh man, I can't wait to see the Marcus Mason Fans and the Cult of Colt battle it out like the Bloods and Crips.

Oh please. Colt was sooooooooooo last preseason. Chase Daniel is the new heartthrob
