Not good…
Optimistic observation: at least this is his last season.
But the thought is still there that we have to stomach his game changing in game errors for ONE MORE SEASON! Oh the horror!
Saban pointed out that many times Wilson’s errors aren’t always due to bad decisions.
Mistakes now won’t always translate into mistakes during the season. You make them now, and the coaches can still teach ways to improve.
True. However, that one fumble against LSU last season and the two fumbles against The Alabama PolyTECHnic Institute in 2006, which all led to roughly around 10 yard touchdown drives, still haunt me daily.
