With the struggles of Aaron Murray and the high quality backup of Hutson Mason, has there been any increased competition for the QB role? Coach Richt is a big believer in competition, but it seems to be a double standard when Murray continues to throw interceptions but remains the undisputed starter.

OK, let’s back up a second. I know the backup quarterback is always the most popular player on the team. But Aaron Murray ranks third in the SEC and 17th in the country in pass efficiency rating. He’s third in the SEC in passing yards and second in touchdown passes. He was the preseason All-SEC first-team pick. Yeah, he has thrown too many interceptions so far. But let’s not go crazy here.
As for Hutson Mason, he seems to be a pretty good player but let’s not turn him into Johnny Unitas yet. He was a three-star recruit, and he hasn’t gotten any playing time against serious competition. He may be a good player if pressed into duty, and I think his teammates would have confidence in him. But the idea of yanking Murray for Mason at this point is pretty laughable.
In my opinion, last week was Murray's worst game ever. You have to take care of the football and all three of his interceptions were either bad throws or really bad decisions. There are excuses built in such as the O-line couldn't pass protect against Southeast Bulloch or our best receiver is a true freshman. But Georgia has a shot at something and he has to revert to the middle of 2010, at least decision making wise, if we are to take advatage of this shot. I still have all the confidence in the world in him and he has a chance to make Georgia relevant and CMR comfortable. With these next three losable games, he can put an end to any and all debate for the next 2 and a half years.
As of two weeks ago he was my #1 QB in the SEC. Right now I'd say 3.
