And how did the LSU QB do against Clemson, or the FL QB do against UGa and Louisville, or the Bama QB against LSU last year in the “game of the century” (6 points in regulation and OT).

Murray is a credit to our school. Glad he is coming back. Anyone on here who is not happy knows nothing about football. Bobo is also a really good OC. Look at how our offense progressed over the year. Basically having to rely on untested freshmen in the backfield and a line that was questionable at the start of the season he did a great job of play calling. Coach Friend deserves a big hand from all of us. He did what Searles could never do with the raw talent he had. Now that we have a DL coach that seems to be able to teach players how to stop the run we should be better next year. Mark this down we will be a better defense in 2013. There is enough talent on defense with the new recruits coming to be stronger and quicker. You are going to see some really good recruits sign in February. A couple that may surprise some of you.
Go Dawgs!

Murray earned the right to compete for the starting QB at Georgia for another year..He does not need to come back for a national championship.He has my admiration for staying the course at Georgia, with the opportunity of making his accomplishes known for many years.He should not base his staying on a possible national championship.If he does, he could become fodder for the media gurus.

I have mixed feelings about this. Obviously, we will be a much better team with Murray, but I still think we are looking at a four loss season with all the defense leaving. I’d almost rather sacrifice a couple of more losses just to get Mason a season of experience. It’s a double-edged sword. Murray coming back makes us a better team in 2013, but a much worse team in 2014.

Murray has a 18% win record against teams that finish top 25. He’s 2 wins, 11 losses.

You got 4 of those guys on the 2013 schedule in Clemson, South Carolina, LSU, and Florida.

So with Murray’s 18% record there that means 3-4 losses to the above 4 top 25 teams.

Should Georgia get back to the SEC Championship, Murray has an 0% win record there, 0 wins, 2 losses.

Should Georgia get back to a Bowl game, Murray has a 33% win record there, so UGA looking at an 8-5 or 9-4 season.

Let Murray start against UNRANKED teams, where he wins so many games.

Let Mason start against the RANKED teams, since Murray loses 82% of those games.

Mason could win at least 2 of those 4 games against RANKED teams, where murray can’t win more than 1 with his 18% win %.

AM did is not the problem. Our D cost us the NC. The defense could not stop the run all year. Defense wins ball games. Bobo abandoned the run against SC.

I think all UGA fans, including myself, are able to breathe a little easier knowing Murray had decided to stay.

I believe Murray knows he is capable of winning the big ones and made the right decision by staying with UGA having unfinished business to take care of. Watch out UGA fans we still have a chance for not only taking over the SEC title but also having the ability to get back to another opportunity of playing in the national title game next year.

Murray has just thrown for 3000 yards three years in a row, something no one named Manning ever did. Yet he is inferior, in this guys opinion to a QB who seems like he might make a good player but has never won a game against ANYONE and another QB who can’t even read the hand signals from the sideline. Anyone ever notice that EVERY play the LeMay runs has to be whispered n his ear on the sidelines? The walk on Welch goes in before LeMay because he does better on the test every week than LeMay. And these are superior QB’s to Murray?? REALLY???

By the end of 2013, he will own every SEC passing record of significance and will be in the UGA hall of fame, when he finally leaves this school.

Pretty uneducated move by Murray. He will be losing many on his OL and the UGA defense. That leaves him little room for error. UGA’s season will be over before October next year.

If Murray would have left, he would have been a top QB in this draft. There are very few good QBs in this draft, and several top pick teams need a QB. He lost millions with this decision. Que the Matt Barkley “We have unfinished business” speech………..

Tojo,
Yes, he threw 2 interceptions against Nebraska…..the #1 passing defense in the Nation. BUT, somehow you conveniently failed to mention that he then set a bowl record for passing yardage, TDs and was named MVP. You are a total MORON and struggling waaaaaaay too hard to make a fruitless point!!!!

Murray’s accuracy vs. the 4 best teams he faced in 2012

South Carolina 35%
Florida 50%
Alabama 54%
Nebraska 54%

Murray’s passing efficiency ratings against those 4 teams, as a 3rd year starter
South Carolina 58
Florida 91
Alabama 125
Nebraska 201

Murray wasn’t named MVP of the South Carolina, Florida or Alabama game, that’s for sure.

5 YEAR PERIODS FOR UGA!

2001-2006-2011 have been the improving & rebuilding years for Georgia, and we improve & grow as a team and set goals for next season!

2002-2007-2012 have been the best years for Georgia as long CMR has been the coach, and one loss that takes us out of the NC game!

2003-2008-possibly 2013 are the years that we still have talent left on the team, however,our defense and/or offense slacks off and our shoulda woulda coulda season turns into a nightmare, but I believe 2013 season will be a blessed year for the dawgs though! The 5 years trend stops here!

Dear Mr. Mason:

You are wasting away on the UGA bench while you are clearly the superior talent.

Do not buy the lies and promises again.

Find a program that recognizes your talent, ability, and potential.

Do you ignorant people think we could go into @ Clemson, South Carolina, & LSU with inexpierenced QBs (Lemay & Mason), y’all are really stupid. Fully expierenced QB Aaron Murray would help us with that TOUGH schedule next year. I never seen so many idiots on the blog before, oh wait, yes I have! We’ve seen Lemay on the field and hell no his passing rating is nothing like Aaron Murray’s. Mason should be a backup next year, DEFINATELY not the starter with those first four games. The most hated team, the Florida Gaytors, will be out for REVENGE next year! Remember what happened to us in 2002, 2005, & 2008, when the Gaytors upset us and ruined our season. We need Aaron Murray to help us out for those games as well. Thank You Jesus that Aaron Murray will be back!

AMurray is a good kid but honestly little if any place for him to go other than return to UGA.

When it came time for brass tacks, only the desperate NFL teams would have drafted an average sized QB like Murray who simply can not get over the turnover bug. Sure Murray was bailed out of many of his more egegious mistakes, but that is small comfort to NFL teams where teams simply have NO room for such repeated mistakes.

Without the whitewashing play by JJones in the UF game Murray’s horrid play would have had the UGA fans at his throat. People easily forget just how awful Murray was during that debacle.

Looks like I need to add RoJo to my tutoring list. Need to work on some basic logic. To be kind, I will assume RoJo has not been following football that long. No one would put much stock in spring game performances, otherwise. I am NOT saying Mason is not a good quarterback. I think he is. But to think he is better than Murray at this point is ridiculous.

Let’s apply some logic to his claim that in every game, Mason has a higher pass efficiency rating than Murray. Too many variables to go by that standard- for one thing Mason has always been in a game in mop-up time, and not when the game is on the line.

Let’s take RoJo’s logic a bit further. Orwin Smith has a much higher yards per carry average than Herschel Walker, Bo Jackson, and Adrian Peterson. No doubt that makes Orwin a better back, right?

Murray hasn’t won enough big games to EARN HIS RIGHT TO LEAD THE TEAM. Just because richt says Murray is the leader, means nothing to players. Murray has to EARN it by winning more games and playing better in the big games. After 3 years of starting 40 games, all Murray has to show for it in Bowl games, Championship games, and 13 games against teams that finished in the top 25, is 2 LOUSY WINS. And Murray played TERRIBLE in one of those wins (Florida) and needed 6 turnovers by his defenses to bail out his 3 turnovers. That doesn’t EANR TRUST OR CONFIDENCE. Neither does spending 10,000 hours in a room by himself studying game film, but not being able to translate the study to WINS. Whatever Murray is doing, is NOT WORKING.

UGA has a legit shot at the National Championship next year now. Murray and this offense will hopefully produce the same #’s next year as this year. A better Murray, better Gurley and Marshall, better O-Line, and Mitchell & Conley on the outside with Bennett Rome and Lynch working the middle of the field this offense will be the best in the SEC.

I also think our defense will be a lot more consistent next year as a collective unit. Hopefully Geathers will stay so our D-Line will have experience. But our young guys will step up and even if we lose one of the first three it is ok because we can handle loses early in the year and make a run and hopefully beat Alabama in an SEC rematch later this year, getting us to the National championship.

I seriously think Murray will shake the”top 25 disappearing act” and get us in the NC game.

Some of you people are such idiots. Look say what you want, but Murray has done something a lot of great SEC QBs before him couldn’t do – avg 3000yds a season for 3 yrs.
Neither Manning did it, Heisman winner Danny Wuerfuel didn’t do it,
Also, everyone with any football acumen knows, the QB gets too much credit for wins, too much blame for losses.
A. Murray is not the reason we lost to Bama. Really what hurt us was the missed field goal early in the game. You simply can not leave points on the field against a team like Bama. We make that field goal, we’re down by one, ground the ball and kick a field goal that basically would have been the length of an extra point. If the defense doesn’t give up the long TD pass, My point is not to make if this if that excuses, but to simply say, you can’t say he didn’t show up in that game. He showed up against FL and threw for 427 and 5 TDs (Cap One Bowl record) against the #1 pass defense in the country. You can say he hadn’t showed up in some big games earlier in his career, which people seem to forget he was a freshman and sophmore for, but with the exception of the SC game he performed very well this season. Oh and let’s not forget he lost his #1 WR in freak accident during practice on Thursday before the SC game. His timing with the WRs was off not to mention the O-line got man-handled.
Anyone who doesn’t think A.Murray coming back this season is a good thing is just stupid. I can’t believe some of you would honestly want to trade his 3yrs of experience for a kid who’s looked good in spring games and limited mop up duty. unbelieveable.

Where am I collecting my data on Mason? From 3 types of public games: Spring games, regular season, and post season, Mason ALWAYS has a BETTER PASS EFFICIENCY than Murray, head to head.

——————————————————————————————————————–
Regular season – in mop up duty AFTER A.Murray and Co. have broken the other team’s will
Post season – not sure what you’re talking about here, don’t know when/if Mason has gotten in much if at all in bowl games or SEC Championship game
Spring practice -hold on a second…bwahahahahahahahaha!!!! hahahaha!! ok – so RoJo so you underdstand, the way spring scrimages work is this: 1-Offense (Murray’s team) & 2-Defense goes against 2-Offense(Mason’s team) & 1-Defense. So Murray’s unit is vs 1 Def, Mason is vs 2 Def.

So if you think all that makes Mason a better QB than Murray then so be it. Nothing anyone on this board says will change your mind, just like nothing you say will change ours.
You probably still believe in Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, and the Tooth Fairy as well .

If you’re not a UGA fan – your time, passion, and attention to all things Dawg related is pathetic
If you are a UGA fan- then you need to find a new team to root for if you have this much of a problem with Murray and the way Richt runs his program.

Still waiting on anyone to show me one good reason why Aaron Murray has EARNED the right to ever start another game team that finishes in the top 25 when he’s only played well once in 2010 against Auburn, and has stunk it up the other 11 games?

If Spring games don’t matter, why play them and why keep stats, and why does it matter to you that Mason beats Murray in the Spring games, if it doesn’t matter?

Mop up stats are read the same way by a computer, they all count, funny these same people say Murray is ranked No 1 in pass efficiency ( against UNRANKED TEAMS). He’s ranked #45 against RANKED TEAMS, they don’t seem to mind he compiled that against the bad teams.

But Mason, oh, you can’t use stats like that for Mason, but you can for Murray.

It begs the question:
If Murray’s so much better than Mason, why does Mason ALWAYS beat Murray in Passing efficiency whether it’s a Spring game, a regular season game, or a post season game? Why does Murray ALWAYS LOSE to MASON EVERY SINGLE TIME?

Instead we’re stuck with a guy who’s best game is against New Mexico State. Not the way to impress the voters. Johnny won it that day he played his best against Alabama. Murray will never do that.

Congrats to Murray & UGA, I guess!!
This decision doesn’t put UGA any closer to #1.

Bama & A&M will be pre-season top 5 Teams from the SEC, that’s it.
UGA is in the same boat whether Murray stayed or bounced.
Y’all are neck & neck with SC & Fla(with their awful QB) for East supremacy.

As for the all the draft “experts”, no one is perfect at evaluating talent.
McShay & Kiper certainly aren’t, butt neither is Dungy.
I seem to recall Dungy lobbying hard for Tebow.
In fact he said, he’d spend a top 10 pick on Tebow without thinking twice.
Tebow’s so bad, he got Greg McElroy some PT this year!!

Here’s a gem from your buddy Todd McShay:

“I can’t remember being in such awe of a quarterback in my decade of attending combines and pro days. Russell’s passing session was the most impressive of all the pro days I’ve been to. His footwork for such a big quarterback was surprising. He was nimble in his dropbacks, rolling out and throwing on the run. The ball just explodes out of his hands.”

Here’s what an NFL Scout had to say about McShay:

“McShay does not have any good connections,” the source opined. “Higher-ups in the league think he is an arrogant asshole. A know-it-all. And he really knows nothing. Whatever he says about a quarterback, take it to the bank, it will be the opposite. Remember, last August he stated that Jevan Snead was better than Colt McCoy and would get drafted in the top five. He has yet to publicly retract that statement.

“One of the reasons the kid came out was because of what McShay said. The family thought McShay knew and everyone else was wrong. . . . He has problems with game management, accuracy and leadership among other things, but pretty boy Todd thought he was great because of one good game (the Cotton Bowl) a year ago. McShay is a pretty face who comes across like he knows what he is talking about. He does have good presence, but knows nothing.”

Oh that was JaMarcus Russell he was talking about not Russell Wilson- who btw a lot of people thought was too short to play in the NFL, yet he’s the lone rookie or even two year starter still in the playoffs. Not Luck, not RG3, not A.Dalton,

I’m perplexed by the assertions of some who have posted here that Mason will get plenty of snaps in the 2013 season. Why would you think that, given the coaching staff’s tendency to leave Murray in games, even after the outcome was no longer in doubt. And for those who criticized RoJo’s references to G-Day statistical comparisons of Murray and Mason, that’s about all the evidence that we have to consider, since the coaches have given Mason so few opportunities to play during the regular season. Many of you assume that Murray is clearly better than Mason, while criticizing those of us who suggest that may not be the case, but the fact is that neither of us has much evidence to confirm our suspicions or assertions, since Murray has almost all the playing time in regular season games. If you’re sure that the U.Ga. coaching staff couldn’t possibly be wrong in judging talent, then I’m sure that you’re comfortable in your certainty that Murray is far better than Mason. As for me, I’d like to see Mason given the chance to play meaningful snaps in games that count. I just don’t expect to see that happen.

If Richt won’t allow for competition at QB, and he won’t Mason and Lemay and Bauta and Ramsey all need to transfer.

Mark Richt runs an entitlement based talent system that isn’t based on competition, or who earned it, but who he likes the best.

So were I Hutson Mason, I’d tell Mark Richt thanks for the memories, time to transfer to a coach that will be fair instead of favoritism. After all, even the bible says:

FAVORITISM IS A SIN.

Have any of you bloggers been reading what you write? Aaron Murray is decent, but the key to 2013 will be DEFENSE. Georgia got gashed in both the SECCG and the CAPITAL ONE BOWL on the ground. Nobody(well I just saw one blogger say it) wants to admit that we need the 4-3, and not the 3-4 in the sec. The 3-4 works great when you dealing wth big time passers, but heres your reality; The SEC doesn’t have one 1st round QB for the upcoming year. The 3-4 is made to attack and put pressure on the passer, and the toss sweep, and inside run game. This new spread offense that most are using some version of has to have guys who are lane disciplined and forces the qb into bad situations. Georgia could go with a solid 4-3 next year and dominate the east. They will have a hard time dealing with A&M WHO WILL WIN THE WEST NEXT YEAR(I SAID IT BAMA FANS) and Bama or LSU who always hav great backs and are highly disciplined. The Key to all this is Will Mason, or LeMay stay? These are both VHT(Very highly touted QB’s)and will they be content with there rolls? If not and we have only Parker Welch, and Brice Ramsey to turn too, we are in trouble! Wish Murray the best, but BULLDAWG NATION GET HONEST WITH YOURSELVES,and realize CHAMPIONS are made on D, and not at QB. In fact with the exception of CAM NEWTON, what other QB on any SEC NTT has a QB that has flurished at the next level? Now look at FLA, ALA, LSU, and AU and look at the players from those teams in the NFL who are prospering. Georgia find your Defense, and 2013 I’ll betcha you playing in a BCS Title game. If not, You’ll be listening to again, asking, “How is it UGA gets all that talent and falls short year after year”! Geez folks isn’t 32 years enough?

Who won the BCS last year? Alabama. A team that puts defense and running first.

Year before that? Auburn. A team that had Superman at QB but also a tremendous defense led by Nick Fairley.

Year before that? Alabama, see above, defense and running.

Year before that? LSU. And before that Florida, running with Tebow, so they weren’t passing and their D was good.

Truth is, defense still wins.

1-3 start. I don’t see any other way. And Murray is still back in the same position he is now but Georgia is worse off in that they didn’t just develop a QB while rebuilding the defense.

I think he’s coming back because he was way worse than 2nd/3rd round. Way worse. I mean if winning the BCS or SEC is his goal, why did he talk to the NFL in the first place? And if they said 2nd/3rd round, SEE YA! BYE! $$$$$$$$$. I’d even make myself into a first rounder by working hard.

Yet he’s coming back to make himself into a first rounder in 2014? What does that matter, you don’t get paid like they used to as a rookie. I’m not sure there is a tremendous difference in 1st and 3rd round anymore.

ROJO: Your rant is an ignorant rant. Have you look at Murray’s stats? What AM the problem in the SEC Championship? NO. Because AM does not play linebacker. Just because someone don’t start, that does not mean that they should transfer. If it did there would be thousands of transfers and sitting out each year. You have an agenda, stop clogging up the blog. Go upstairs and speak to your mother for a change.

For all you anti-Bobo people. The problem in the past has been Murray, not Bobo. Until last summer’s QB attitude adjustment that Murray received from Gruden and Manning, I think that is who it was, Murray was the problem with the offense, not Bobo. If, Murray improves in 2013, like he did in 2012, he might be considered a legitimate NFL prospect. If he does not improve his ability to deal with real pressure situations, he will never be anything more than a decent college QB.

A lot of true and redshirt fresh are playing fine on D watch for jordan jenkins. He is jones replacement rome has played good. Swann is solid and the joco ftansfers and some of the new recruits coming in shoukd be oretty damn good. Then the offense that we know will run good next year.

AM would have been a 4th round pick at best. Sure his numbers look good on paper until you compare them to the opponents he played over the years. Not to mention he has a real self confidence problem when he is too cowardly to speak to the media before the SEC championship game, then when he loses the game, he runs off the field like a beaten school girl.

No doubt that Aaron made the wise decision. I don’t see him having been drafted in the 2nd round…more like 3rd or 4th (due to his height). If he stays healthy, he should break alotta records next year. The offense should be stout (Bennett & McGowan can easily fill the WR “losses”). However, it’s the defense that will be suspect.

Aaron,
You need to think this over. The defense is depleted, you face a schedule where you will be 9-3 at best, Florida is back and South Carolina has your number. Plus, there are not many QB’s in this years NFL draft class. Please do not stay thinking you will win a NC. most likely Urban Meyer, Nick Saban or Johnny Football will get the NC. We appreciate everything you have done but you and Coach Richt have proven you are just not capable of winning the big games. The NC is so far out of reach you have a better shot at winning the Super Bowl.
