Additional thought:

If we can start to gel and make it through the first part of the season with a decent record, I like our chances. Wilson should return to the lineup just as we start all of our second-half division play. While I don't think he will be a huge difference maker, I do believe that his presence will allow us to throw some new looks into our offense.

In fact, I wonder if some of Al's poor playcalling isn't a result of Wilson's loss. I don't want to put too much emphasis on his presence, but I think that Al had this shiny new toy that he was really excited to show off. When the toy got taken away, it put Al into a funk from which he hasn't completely recovered.
