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.
