Mike Wallace = No Heart

[stopplayn]

I suppose some folks will never be satisfied. Not one team in the league plays well every week. Parity is what the NFL has become. Parity makes it difficult for teams to improve up to fan's expectations. If you were not ready for a game like today then you must not pay attention to the league. The Eagles are a good team.

Whether people want to accept it or not, Wallace is a member of this team and contributes to wins. Ultimately, talent and the ability to play the game at a high level is what gets players paid. Wallace has proven that he is talented and can play the game at a high level. Heart or not heart, Wallace will receive a big money contract from a team because he is a talented player.

Wallace is tired of being underthrown, overthrown etc. Ben is not the most accurate passer. However, Wallace has got to put forth more effoft. I would bench him a series to let him know that I mean business. The PERFECT PASS that Ben threw him on 3rd and short and he just put out one arm and tried to catch it, was pathetic. If he used two hands thats a catch. Ben seldom leads them on passes but when he does this idiot gives half an effort. The 2nd one would have been a great catch (4th qtr) but he STILL should have caught it. If you want the big bucks then make the big catches. If anyone complains about the wild pass into double coverage in the endzone, well Plaxico on stilts couldnt have caught that.

the truth is that Ben is the best QB the Steelers have had since Terry Bradshaw, too bad you can't see that.

I agree with that and have stated it MANY times.

I dont hate Ben. I gave Ben props in that post. I let WALLACE have it in my post.

I didn't read this whole thread so I am not sure how this became a Ben bashing thread. Anyway, I can handle drops. What I can't handle is a player giving up and not going out and giving 110% like we are used to seeing from former players like Hines Ward. Mike Wallace gave up yesterday. That is unacceptable. Sure Brown makes mistakes, but he also comes through many times when we need him. I have never seen him give up. I just wish he'd keep his mouth shut.

I agree with AA - Wallace doesn't have the heart of a Man of Steel. If we can get good value for him to help us in areas of greater need, I wouldn't cry to see him go.

Brown had a couple of drops also. People want Wallace to fail because the Rooneys won't pony up the cash, only to washed up defense.

Poney up the cash? What in the world are you talking about? It's been reported that Rooney's offered him a 50 million dollar contract.

He's not even worth that.

[Chadman]

So what is his value? If he allows Ben, Antonio, Sanders, Heath, Mendy etc to perform better because her stretches the field, if he makes the Offense better just by being there- what is his value?

If he wasn't there- is the Offense as good?

What is the success of the Offense worth?

[steelz09]

I watch a guy like Brandon Marshall play and I think to myself.... Wallace is NOT a better WR than him.

Throw stats (look at the team and QB marshall has had) and his medical condition aside. Marshall is a beast. He's a deep threat, he can go across the middle, he can block, he's physical, etc.

I pick Marshall out because he's in that next tier of WRs along with Wallace.

So how much does Marshall make? He's making 9.5 mil this year. The Steelers offered Wallace an avg of 10mil/year and he turned it down.

IMO, our offense would be better with Marshall than it would be with Wallace. I think he's a better overall WR. I don't have a problem paying Wallace. I have a problem paying Wallace more than what he's worth. I don't see him being worth more than a guy like Brandon Marshall.

Wallace is our best receiver and DC spend more time trying to stop him then any other receiver on our team. Those are the facts.

Who cares if YOU GUYS have a problem with paying Wallace. Like you cut checks. Wallace WILL get his big contract because he has value. If he doesnt get it from us, he will get it elsewhere. Careful what you ask for.
