Should we have signed Mason off Ravens PS?

He couldn't pick up the playbook or pass block, no thanks. Sultan McCollough gained a lot of yards in the preseason too. With the RB problems the Ravens have had this season, if he was NFL worthy don't you think he'd been activated by now?

i would want a 3 time pro bowler and nfl mvp instead of someone who did good in a couple of preseason games

Nice post and welcome to the board.

does'nt the fact that all 31 other teams passed on him when he lead the league in preseason rushing give you a clue that maybe he is'nt the budding superstar that folks think he is?there is a reason nobody else has signed him off the ravens ps.

Ditto.

Is this conversation for real? Mason or Alexander?

I think almost anyone would pick a nfl mvp pro bowler everytime. The problem is some of us don't think we are getting the nfl mvp probowler. Some of us think we are getting the broke down RB that was released by Seatle ....you know the one that was knocked out by Marcus Washington, the one that had the knee or foot problems, or perhaps the same on that had the shoulder problem, or maybe the one that had the hand injury. pick your choice.

I at this point in SA career would rather have a "healthy" young eager to play RB that will probably do fairly well now that the O-line has fixed their blocking issues since preseason and the first game against the Giants. Hell he's got to be better then Rock's running East/West in the back field during preseason.

I don't think SA was looking to be the temporary replacement for the #2 RB with those other teams.

The "healthy" young eager to play RB played terrible against a 1st team defense during the pre-season. Besides, I'm sure the Redskins can pick him up later on, as someone said in another thread, he's not going anywhere.

Mason vs. Alexander= No brainer

Of course not. Mason has proved nothing in this league, thats why he is on a squad. Alexander has proven a ton, and is very hungry to prove he has gas in the tank. At a low cost salary, this was a great FO move to bring in a guy with his proven background in this league as a #1 RB at a bargain price to backup CP. This is a win,win situation for the Skins.

This is a win,win situation for the Skins.Ultimately I agree with you on this being a great low cost move, but among the things that Shaun Alexander has "proven" is that he shouldn't be running the ball for an NFL team anymore.

So if we're going to play that angle, I would say I'd have to support Mason.

I have a feeling a big part of Alexander's struggles the last couple years were more due to injury than him not having anything left in the tank. Sounds like he's healthy and ready to go now. I'm excited to see what he can bring to the table.
