Upside is not just youth.

While I agree with your assessment of Shaun Alexander, where is the proof that Mason is so much better? Because he looked good against scrubs in preseason? He couldn't even crack the practice squad in Washington, and can't even beat out the sorry ass backup running backs in Baltimore for a roster spot. Obviously, he doesn't look as good to multiple coaching staff's as he did in preseason.
