Worilds retires!!! Whaaaaat??

[SteelerOfDeVille]

Wallace quit because he is weak, all ego, a quitter, yada, yada, yada

What's funny is i never agreed with that take. Wallace is a one-trick pony and his trick was taken away by the OC that year in an effort to save Ben's arse. Just kinda the way it unfolded.

Mike isn't half the underneath route-runner than AB is, nor anywhere near the open field runner. So glad he turned down the money and allowed us to keep AB instead.

What a bargain now right?

[Discipline of Steel]

I would have been happy if he was overpaid by a team we don't like such as Baltimore, Cincinnati, Cleveland, New England, Oakland, Dallas, etc.

I like how you added Oakland and Dallass at the end there....old school enemies

thought it was at the time... debated a co-worker on the topic back then - we were on opposite sides. I said I'd rather have the guy who keeps the chains moving and gave us numerous opportunities to score than the guy who gets one bomb a game... "OK... that's 7... now, what?"

I was a big AB supported and always thought Mike Wallace had horrible hands. He was a one trick pony but that one trick was AMAZING in our offense before Haley arrived.

That being said, I always felt like MW made the most of his talents and I don't knock him one bit for cashing out.

thats it exactly

wallace played the game and maxed out his value. i have zero problem with that, but many here did

it seems curious that woirlds is now being lauded by some of the same people who said wallace was selfish for taking the most he could get for playing a violent sport that takes away from your family and health, but woirlds is a saint for getting what he could out of football and quitting

it doesnt wash

"... Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Jason Worilds, 27, who made $10 million last season, is said to have forgone a new contract out of his desire to render service to Jehovah’s Witnesses."

One tanked on the field and the other retired after a good, but not great season, but he never gave up on the field.

I still don't understand this. The year Wallace supposedly "gave up on the field" he caught 64 passes for 836 yards and 8 TD's.

That level of production is more than Larry Fitzgerald, Keenan Allen, Torrey Smith, or Brandon Marshall had this past season, for instance.

yeah.. he didn't have a monster year in Haley's first season = giving up.
