Ryan Clark Says Wheaton Is Better Than Mike Wallace

They like Wheaton and the kid does look promising. Seems humble too.

Funny what he said about Mendy. Fall into the category, the Truth Hurts?

 

Dude I am pumping my fist SO hard right now! If you saw me you would SWEAR I was at a Spinal Tap concert!

 

That's pretty much what the analysts said when we drafted him. A wr with better hands, better routes, and stronger than Wallace.

 

Based on the draft alone, I see no reason why Wheaton couldn't potentially be better than Wallace.

Wallace Round 3...pick 84
Wheaton Round 3....pick 79

So logically it fits that he could potentially be better.

 

I had a comment but I think i'll just keep it to myself BFT. LOL

 

who is this Wallace you guys speak of?

 

That's probably for the best!

 

Hmm, interesting.

 

Very good to hear. I'm like what I've seen from Wheaton so far, and it's good to hear something like this from Clark.

 

i'm calling it right now the first play in the regular season when wheaton gets in the game will be a reverse to him.

 

“I’m going to say something here about the Mike Wallace thing…Markus Wheaton, and you can take this how you want…Markus Wheaton is better than Michael Wallace at everything but one thing. Speed. That’s it. He does everything else better…as far as route running, he’s more polished. I think he has better hands…I think he’s ready to step in and play.”, said Clark.

Hmmm. Where have I heard before that Mike Wallace has one exceptional skill, speed, and that everything else is ordinarily average? Anybody?

 

Good for Clark!
He tells it like it is. Wheaton has at least "two tricks" better than speedy Wallace.

 

Yeah TTF I blame you for putting much marching me head first right in to that one. LOL.

 

I don't think any of this should surprise anyone. I mean if had ELITE skills other than his speed, he wouldn't have been a 3rd round pick....he would have been a first round pick.

 

It's nice that Clark is building confidence into this kid, but I hope it doesn't get to Wheaton's head like it did to Wallace, or Wheaton will be asking for stupid money when it gets to contract time. I don't want to hear this money crew crap again.

 

I'm not worried about that. Wheaton's not like Wallace/Brown/Sanders that way.

 

OK, did anyone else see who he omitted at RB?

Did he just drop the secret with his "Get (Bell) healthy with Redman and LaRod...", conveniently omitting Dwyer?

 

He also omitted Baron Batch, who I would drop before I drop Dwyer.

 

I think most would, but maybe not the ST coach.

 

hurray ,I hope Wheaton is better, but i'll wait til mid season before I do fisting over what Clark said
