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.

Mason equals Championship. That's all you need to know if you could be swayed either way.

Dude is a preseason Hall of Famer.

Ummm, he's only the preseason MVP

Marcus Mason is a local talent who played for Maryland if I'm not mistakened. Last year he had some outstanding carries in preseason with the Redskins and he was released and the Ravens signed him. I like this young guy. He has the ability to hit the holes and make the right cut to gain a good average per carry. Hope he makes the cut.

He is a local guy but he didn't play for Maryland. He played college football at the University of Illinois and Youngstown State University. He starred at Georgetown Preparatory School in Bethesda, Maryland, where he became the all-time leading rusher (5,700 yards) in Maryland high school history.

He is a RB/fan favorite that got cut last preseason. We let him go because we didn't want to hinder his talent by keeping him as a 3d or 4th back. He is good enough to be a 2d string back somewhere. if he was able to return kicks or punts, IMO we would have dropped Cartwright. He is a great pick up for the time being and I look forward to watching him, Colt and Marko in the preseason. Did i hear someone say bring back Buck Ortega?

If he is that good, then why has he been on so many different practice squads?

Why wasn't he a #2 anywhere else in the league?

Looks like a great candidate to bring to camp to give him a shot at making the final 53, but does he really have the goods to unseat Betts?

Seems to me that if he did he would have done it last year, or even made another teams roster and not their practice squad.
