Mike Wallace = No Heart

[birtikidis]

Can't compare Wallace and brown. But I love the effort from brown. If wallace had that level of effort he'd be unstoppable

He'd rather get the money first than put out the effort.

yeah, thats totally what wallace has done.

never let the facts get in the way of your agenda.

Two things need to be said here. First I dont ever remember anyone on this forum ever saying Mike Wallace deserves Larry Fitzgerald money. The only one who I remember saying that is Mike Wallace. Saying the Steelers need to lock up Wallace to a long term contract worthy of being paid what he is worth isn't anything close to saying he deserves Larry Fitzgerald money.

Secondly, did anyone not see the game replays where Wallace was being held several times? It was pretty obvious and it was several times.

So, when exactly did Mike Wallace say that?

[Eddie Spaghetti]

wallace never said anything about wanting fitz money.

[Steelhere10]

He nor his agent said that, the media did. And people here trust the media. Wallace also tweeted after that not to believe everything that you hear...

Well I thought it was implied he did since it was released by his agent..or at the time that was what was being reported. regardless, my point is that no Steeler fan that I know of said that.

I love Wallace, and I want him on this team - but I no longer believe that he is more valuable to this team than Brown.. So the idea of him making more than Brown seems a bit off.. Imho
I hated his effort today especially considering how tight "& important" the game was.. Heck since he has been getting "Double teamed" his effort seems to have dropped way off.. at least that's how it appears.. I hope today was just a bad one, I hope he picks it up, I am sure he will especially after the watch the tape but today was lousy.. Cant defend a guy who doesn't look like he is giving the effort.

When you have a player that makes your team significantly better than when you don't have him- what's his value?

[steeler_fan_in_t.o.]

we're only talking about Mike Wallace's production in this game, and 2 receptions for 17 yards isn't that good.

what's so funny about that and why am I nuts for thinking that Wallace didn't have a good game today?

The title of this thread states that he has no heart. That is not a comment on a bad game, that is a comment on him as an overall player and person.

[chiken]

I understand what you are saying Sir but I have never truly agreed with the statement that he makes the team that much better.. Do we need a speed guy ala Nate Washington, sure.. taking the top off is wonderful but our offense has never been explosive.. It always been "almost there" or a "few plays short" or the classic "a year away.." We have never been confused with the Saints or the Giants or the Packers.. We have never been high powered - we Rarely scored 30 but if we did one week then the next week we would barely hit 15.

Yes he has caught more touchdowns but As a Team we were not in the upper echelon - Its kind of like being the best looking ugly chick at a dance for the blind.. Our Passing Tds per year as a team is average - (bottom part of average) the Year He had 10 (2010) we only had 17 as a team.. The offense was not very good - 14th in the league. We have never Needed Wallace to Win super bowls, nor does Ben need him to be elite.

sorry, I was only speaking for myself and not the OP.

I should have said "I am" instead of "we're"...

Help..., Willie at it again... Win or lose... Take your pick out of the numerous threads that are started here that need further clarification by actually opening up the thread. I apologize for the lack of clarity in the original post. As I said, have a Wallace jersey, a fan of his his skills and the value he brings to the team, but his effort TODAY was lacklustered and steaming with frustration from the many no call holds. But a top five receiver can ill afford a poor showing when his team needs him the most.... I can recall two plays where he just plain gave up and seem to show no effort. Top shelf receivers overcome and take over a game.

If he really did turn down a $50 million contract from the Steelers, he may be one of the dumbest players in the NFL, because if he keeps giving up on plays, he may not get an offer anywhere close to that ever again.
