    Detroit game really wasn't a fair chance. He played with one day notice in pouring rain. He actually outplayed Goff. Juju and Friermuth fumbles in scoring territory didn't help.

    OMG!!! Did you not see him play the last six years?? He was handed the team when Ben had surgery and they ended up using the Duck cause he was so bad. The guy was 5 second slower in the 40 than Kasey Hampton! He looked like Herman Munster moving around the pocket. WTF

    Why didn’t Mason do it the year Ben was hurt?

    Maybe it is just bad timing? When exactly was Mason supposed to get in there any more than he did? He wasn't going to sit Ben. Kenny was taken in the 1st round, and at that point in history NOBODY was saying we should start Mason. I think everyone would agree that a Mason and Kenny paradigm was better than anything Mitch brought to the QB room. But that is only with hindsight.
    Either way, looking ahead at Wilson and Fields seems much more positive than looking back on any of that.

    I am literally going to throw a party when Mason retires. See you all later, I'm off to start a thread about Josh Dobbs!

    A great coach does not over play a hurt qb when he has a potentially very good qb just drafted and a good coach does not replace him with a poor qb like the duck and destroy his qbs confidence .Tolin is not a offensively minded coach so some of blame here goes to canada and company. Yes Ben was overr his surgery but was not in the same shape as the Ben we enjoyed seeing play .

    So I just tried a message to Formerscribe. It said in no uncertain terms that I MAY NOT begin a conversation with Formerscribe. I was scared.

    Mason performed better at the end of last year than I thought he had in him. Great for us. I would have rather kept him as the #2 than trading for Fields, but I wouldn’t be comfortable going into a season with Mason as the #1. I think he’s a nice backup. Maybe a bit better than I thought heading into last year. But I’m not going to put him on a pedestal for simply being competent.

    Nobody is putting him on a pedestal. Just because someone says he wasn't given a fair chance and showed more promise than Pickett or Trubisky doesn't mean he is elite. It means there is a question mark and no one knows he is a bust. His performance at the end of last year certainly showed much more potential than Fields, or what we have in current Russell. Russell Wilson is washed up and isn't any better than Ben in his last year.

    I'm not saying You don't, but when someone say something like this....I wonder if they actually watch the games. He actually got knocked out of the game, and nobody was screaming for Duck before that...., and He actually took the job back away from duck.
