Deepest Condolences to you Mr. Wilson

Ute Nation was shocked to find out that our starting QB will be out the rest of the season and possibly done for the rest of his life. I certainly was taken back when I saw the news and immediately felt so bad for Travis. Part of me felt a little disappointed because I really thought that Travis had a lot of potential and could really do some very impressive things over the next two years. Ultimately, I felt so sorry for Travis. You could tell that he loved to play the game and (despite his most recent games) has really been coming into his own and just starting to find out who he is as a QB.



Travis was sidelined with a concussion and as doctors were checking him out they found a pre-existing condition that either has yet to be determined as far as severity or the details don't want to be shared at this moment. Either way, it is serious enough to totally pull Travis. When I thought of this it was hard to be sad and more grateful for the concussion. Who knows, maybe nothing would have ever happened but what if something did? What if Travis got hit just wrong and he had permanent damage or worse, death? I can't help but be so thankful that Travis had a concussion so the doctors could find this condition before anything major happened to him. I know this could possibly be the end of his career but it certainly could have been a lot worse. Good luck Travis! You have been a great QB and we hope for the best!
