Glory Glory Hallelujah! Redskins Reportedly Sign RB Marcus Mason

[DoggDayAfternoon]

Dude Mason isn't the missing link..we act like he's the second coming or something. Talent doesnt get you cut the first time around..its like saying the phone company turned off my phone because i paid too much money on the bill. That doesnt happen. He'll still be behind Betts..Wake me when we sign a notable young rb like Ian Johnson

I think the comments on this page are actually wall-to-wall sarcasm.

I think you're on to something! I think he might in fact be the second coming.

Think about it: Jesus was a carpenter; Marcus is a Mason. He wears #23 which is twice as many apostles minus that backstabber Judas. Both of their first names end in "us". Marcus keeps resurrecting his way to our preseason roster. They both walk on water. They can both lead the league in preseason rushing yards. And they're both God's gift to us.

Doubling 11 (12-Judas) is 22.

Carlos Rogers is a gift from God.

But you add back in the disciple who replaced Judas so that becomes 23. see.

Bottom line is this guy EARNED a roster spot last preseason and was cut to keep people like E. James around. Hope he gets an honest shot this time around.

Huh? You keep only so many at each position. Erasmus didn't have much to do with it IMO. If Mason wants to stick he needs to beat out Portis, Betts, or Rock, Erasmus or not. Good luck to him with that.

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 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.
