A huge Mistake

Not signing Mike wallace was a huge mistake this offseason. With Bryant being out we could have signed wallace on the cheap to a 2 year contract and he could have stepped right in as number 2 reciever especially with his past chemistry with Ben. I am almost certain we would have won a few more games this year and he would not have been a raven. The steelers really screwed up if you ask me...........

 

One trick pony!!

 

I would have rather kept Sanders some how.

 

This!

 

exactly how you do this

2 years ago he left

this year we lose MB to pot
and Wallace is free cut loose by Minnesota
wondering the streets
we lose a burner go pick up the burner cheap

 

Both Coates and DHB serve the same role: take the top of the coverage and reduce the amount of safety help whoever is covering AB gets. Both the players I mentioned cost way less than Wallace. The front office couldn't have anticipated BOTH of them being injured at the same time.

 

Ok I'll bite.

Even without MB, we had Wheaton, Coates, DHB, Rogers, Hamilton, and Green. WR wasn't a pressing need compared to other positions.

If we had most of the above healthy all season, we'd win as many if not more than with Wallace.

 

If a burner meet a burner
Comin' through the rye ...

 

And that "one trick" is a trick this team could really use right now. Nobody can stretch the field. Wallace would have helped a lot but I'm sure they were banking on Coates being that down field receiver.

 

As a huge Mike Wallace hater. I agree. I had to think twice. My heart said no but for the price, MB was out, and he knew the team/players. Seemed like a no brainer.

 

Snakebitten as always. Can't predict who will be down for the count

 

I still say that we are better without him

 

In hindsight sure it would be nice to have him right now, but how many guys can you sign for a just in case scenario? We had a really good group to start the season even without MB. Wheaton, Coates, DHB all have went down with injuries I'll add Green in that also as I'm sure they were counting on him being a huge contributor in the passing game. At the beginning of the season Mike Wallace doesn't fit into our plans.
With a 53 man roster and a salary cap you can't plan for that many injuries at one position.
To say the Steelers made a huge mistake and really screwed up is pretty naive and silly.

 

You were reading my mind or vice versa.

 

Mike Wallace was no Santonio Holmes. He did not deliver in Super Bowl XLV. End of discussion.

 

the Steelers knew who to sign years ago. And it wasn't Mike Wallace.

 

While I understand why you'd ask the question, I say no thanks to this cancer, EVER AGAIN. Glad we didn't re-sign him. His ship left the Steeler port a long time ago, never to return.

 

Sounds like a quote from your parents.

 

i think it's too early to say that actually. I want to see how Rogers and Coats progress. I think they could both be twice the player Wallace ever was. They just need another year or two to develop. Remember this is basically 2 guys playing their first full season.

 

Unless you are talking about the deceased legendary journalist then I disagree with you.

 

Martavis Bryant has all the tools to be the better WR. Also might come wayyy cheaper than Wallace. Bryant and Brown will be scary next year.

 

If bryant had better hands he would have all the tools to be best receiver in football but that is not the issue it is if and when he screws up again it is a lifetime ban............

 

If Bryant had better hands and didn't smoke pot, he would be the next Randy Moss....
