I'll make a statement here, and feel free to disagree if you want.

If I'm Helton, I'm not really happy with the caliber of play from my team.
App's roster is gutted, yet they're hanging around and making this interesting.
I said something similar after the first game. App is rebuilding, Southern is not. If I were a Southern fan (*shudders*) I wouldn’t be happy about Helton’s job at ALL.

Don't understand why a coach who wants a dual threat QB completely ignored the one on the team and moved him to DB. He may not have all the tools, but it isn't like we had Johnny Unitas out there all year. Can't convince me that we couldn't have a several packages for Wilson throughout the year.
I have zero judgment to levy on our players today, but Wilson doesn’t look like a dual threat to me. In that he’s an extremely effective runner that offers nothing through the air. Fun to watch today but had he been our regular starter we’d basically need to run a triple option offense.

Plays like that one from #8 is what drive you crazy.
Time to put a TD on the board and make these inbreds nervous.

I was thinking the same thing. Plus a team that isn't prepared for a player can make them look like a superstar until they figure it out.

These announcers are idiots. Lewis is a true freshman, he was never a teammate of that traitor.

Not saying he should have started or really played much, but his legs are good enough for some special packages. Like that TD run he just had.

DLo can task him with teaching our WRs what blocking downfield is supposed to look like.

You might want to figure out how to develop Wilson instead of picking up other people’s garbage…
