Comments on: Report: Mike Wallace to report, sign this weekend http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/08/21/report-mike-wallace-to-report-sign-this-weekend/ ProFootballTalk on NBCSports.com Tue, 21 May 2013 16:42:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: bobzilla1001 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/08/21/report-mike-wallace-to-report-sign-this-weekend/#comment-1949432 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 21:10:48 +0000 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1111098#comment-1949432 taylorgang24: I have to agree. Should there ever be a fourth trip to the Super Bowl, Roethlisberger will no doubt stink. He’s pretty much stunk in the previous three he’s played.
Let’s hope the Steelers’ defense doesn’t slip below No. 1 in 2012. That would be troublesome. The Steelers’ QB and offense just aren’t equipped to carry the team.

Between him, Rainey and Brown the Steelers should spend a lot of time running those downfield. Hopefully Ben stays upright long enough to get the ball there.

This team is going to be looking up at even the Browns when Ben goes down, and he will go down. That makeshift quilt blanket of an Oline will never hold up, sucks.

Fact: The Steelers won Super Bowl XL, which was the same season in which Hines Ward held out for a new contract.
____

Proof positive that holdouts cause championships.

Brown and Sanders hit crossing routes and Rainey follows underneath. Heath Miller and Wes Saunders (after suspension) complete that attack.

James Harrison will be back and he and Woodley are going to be go wild this year.

Look out.

He didn’t want to risk injury during the pre-season and if he reported before Week 10, chances are he wouldn’t be able to produce in 6 weeks – what he would need to, in order to get a big payday.

Once he’s in and working hard, I’m sure Colbert and the bosses will quietly sit down with him and work something out.

They made their point and now that he’s blinked, everyone can go about their business.

We now return to regularly scheduled programming.

Without signing Wallace how could elite Pro Bowl qb Roethlisberger reach his lofty 21st in scoring offense ranking?

You have to extend A LOT of plays to make it to that rarefied, super-elite, cream of the crop, best of the best, top 67%.

You might be 32 but you’ve obviously been watching football for a short period of time. Idk where your logic is behind wallace playing second fiddle to brown and him only getting a mil a year. Obviously you’re incorrect.

To the rest of you, well… It’s to easy.. Please post somewhere else with your inferior mike wallace opinions.

That’s pennies compared to what’s in store for him should he make it out of the season healthy. Foolish move by him.

So conditioning-wise Wallace will be fine.

Contact, timing, and familiarity with the playbook might be a whole different issue. A short term issue that is.

Either way, predicting a ‘bust’ season for Wallace is absurd.

If Wallace signs late this week he will have balanced well his committment to his teammates (most of whom will not earn $2.7M as he will) and to protecting and think about himself.

Brown’s deal with the Steelers is cap friendly and does not preclude them from also signing Wallace although as people have said here, there is a long line of receivers (Thigpen, Plaxico, Nate Washington, Randle El and Santonio) who they let walk.

I think they sign him before Denver, though. They’s be set for a long time there. Did anyone else see the alligator arms of Emmanuel Sanders in the Indy preseason game.? I be the coaches did.

Now watch as he encounters multiple injuries due to being out of football shape and condition!

Therefore jeopardizing his future value!

For all those “steelers are basement dwellers” idiots. Be careful what you wish for. Steelers are the AFCN’s best and most talented team. Ratbirds are toast.

I don’t ever want to play against this guy again.

Fact! Go back and check…. T.O., Chad Johnson (Bengals), Vincent Jackson, DeSean Jackson ect….

This guy has Vicent (holdout) Jackson money (5 year 55 mil 25 guaranteed) on the line if he gets hurt. I hope he has insurance.
