One thing I wish the press would do is ask Tomlin if he thinks Wallace puts forth enough effort. I just can't stand Mike Wallace anymore. I just think he's SO VASTLY overrated. I've always liked him but it's just becoming clearer and clearer to me that he's a selfish player, not physical, and not willing to go the extra mile. Sadly I think Cowher could coach him up. I just don't see Tomlin doing it. He'll bench Dwyer for fumbling, which probably cost us a game by the way, but will he bench Wallace for it? I think not. I thought he held everyone to "the standard".

I was saying this over the summer, during his holdout, and got ripped a new one. LOL.

Read my posts a few up and you will see that some people disagree. LOL.

If Wallace wasn't putting forth the effort I don't believe he would be in the game. Wallace is overrate compared to whom? Wallace is what he is and his production speaks for itself. People unfairly hate on Wallace because of his refusal to accept a contract that fans believe he should accept. No one knows if Wallace was being low balled compared to other WR's of his caliber.

When it comes to the business aspect of football players should be selfish. Look at the way organizations and fans are quick to discard players when they've out lived their usefulness on the field. There's nothing wrong if Wallace isn't a physical player. "Physical player" mentality is just another BS reason to hate on a player. It's been stated by people within the organization that Wallace has a strong work ethic. How should Wallace go about going the extra mile?

Wallace has flourished under this coaching staff.

Some people still haven't figured out what the standard means yet.

I don't care about any of that stuff, I don't care about his hold out, I don't care that he is demanding (allegedly) Fitz money, I just don't like what I see on the field. He started out the season pretty good but lately seems to be having too much trouble hanging onto balls and it appears to me he lacks effort on some plays. I don't like when anyone takes plays off, is he doing that for sure? I don't know but looks that way too me. IMO, he's failing the eyeball test, maybe I need glasses, but I don't like what I have been seeing from him.

I guess we just see things differently with our eyeballs. It's not a vendetta for holding out. It's just that all the things we have said are true.
