    Interesting article. Loved this statement:

    Let's put it this way: Assume that Wallace and Martavis Bryant are on the same contract (Bryant's set to make $619,805 in 2015), would anybody trade Wallace for Bryant straight up? Hell no. And that's the point.

    I still believe the Steelers FO is one of the top three in football. I realize we were trying to sign Wallace to a big deal but we refused to be pressured into overpaying for a "one trick pony". I hope the Dolphins have enjoyed the ride.

    Miami should have talked to just about anyone on this board to see what theyd be getting. They paid for speed, he offers nothing else. Or maybe he does but it will never be realized with that ego of his.

    Let's move on from Wallace, he's been gone for two seasons. Honestly, just at a stats glance, he did as well in his Dolphin years as he did in Pittsburgh his final year. Bleh, definitely not worth $50+ million.

    If the Steelers would simply read this MB and heed the advice given by all of the wise sages herein, they'd be hoisting the Lombardi every single season! ;)

    Never! I will dog Mike Wallace on this MB until the day he retires! :lolol:

    As for his numbers, they are no. 2 numbers at best and when you throw in his malignant presence, he just ain't worth the trouble!

    I see posts on here that the Steelers can't evaluate CBs. I suspect the Miami board is saying the same thing about WRs. Miami just cut WR Hartline for underperforming vs money.

    I don't know about that :lolol:

    Maybe when the board is in unison as it was on Wallace, then the stars are aligned and must be true!

    If they listened to this board they would be the Browns.

    What's funny is that when Wallace threw his infamous hissy fit it was because they were feeding Hartline and not him. LOL!!! If HARTLINE is not worth what HE was due to be paid but was getting more looks than Wallace then how in the WORLD can Wallace think HE isn't gonna get the ax? Man I'm so glad we paid AB and not him. If we had paid him and let AB walk I honestly believe that would have turned out to be the greatest FO blunder in our history.

    I have a good friend who is a big Miami fan. When they signed Wallace I told him he'll really jazz up your highlight reel with 6 or 7 really long TDs and that's about all you'll get from him. After the first year he told me that I nailed it.

    It would be close. The Browns actually do 'fire everyone immediately.'

    I remember pretty much everyone being in agreement. With any opposition falling along the lines of "hes better than hes getting credit for but no way can we sign him for what hes asking". I recall no one slamming the FO.

    If you're going to be the MB police, you should at least get paid for it. ;)

    TTF, got an application? :)
