Mike Wallace anyone

I would, but what he did was a huge no-no. Don't know the full story, but it was a bad look

Full story per Walllace and the Dolphins is he was benched in game.....and media reports were false.

Lots of players have been benched in a game

On passes of over 10 yards last season:

Tannehill 77 of 173

Newton 75 of 173

And Tannehill was sacked 46 times to Newton's 38...

Meanwhile, Tannehill finished 5th in NFL completion percentage, 11th in passing yards (4045) and had a very respectable 92.8 NFL passer rating...

Tannehill is coming on...

Do you talk about anything other than how cam compares to other qbs. I mean you're a panthers fan right?

Lol

Presser was odd. I'll give u that.

Sounds to me there was more to it than him just benching himself. But big picture that one incident is all that stands out in his NFL career.....given his skill set I'll still take him.

 

Actually, the "hey guys, the Dolphins might be getting rid of Mike Wallace" discussion comes up on a fairly regular basis because every year people wonder how much longer the Dolphins are gonna put up with his s--t.

 

He's been a head case pretty much since leaving Pittsburgh, and they've never been all that sorry to see him gone.

 

 

Randy Moss quit on both the Vikings and the Raiders before going to New England and setting records.

Just saying..

 

Yet even with his talent, the Patriots eventually tired of him and cut him loose.

 

It's possible to get players with talent without signing head cases.

Not quite.

 

From NFL.com (link)

 

After Dolphins tight end Charles Clay scored a touchdown with 43 seconds left in the half, Wallace came off the field and told coach Joe Philbin that he no longer wanted to play, per (Jeff) Darlington.

 

Later on... (link)

 

When asked further if Wallace has said he was not going to play any more in the game, Philbin replied, "I've never discussed private conversations with players to anybody. It was a private conversation. He and I had a discussion. Then I made a coaching decision. Really, that's all there is to it."

 

Basically, "that's my story and I'm stickin' to it".

    • there seems to be a change or two in his personnel preferences.  For example, the safeties.  Another example:  the smallish NTs are out and 330 is back! 
    • This is a good story--I LOVED his dad as a person and player--I talked to him at an OTA (he was back for his second stint) and he was talking about Moore (the WR from Wake Forest) being so young.  I was with my teenage son and told him, "This is Taylor.  He and I attended the OTAs when you were in Rock Hill as a rookie."  He jokes, "Was he in diapers then?" and laughed.  I imagine Moose III was in diapers when we chatted that day.  So I really would love for this to work out.  However, his stats do not suggest he was anything special in college.
    • I guess there are signs. The combination of the turf toe, hamstring, and knee issues led to questions about his long-term health and affected his draft stock, causing him to fall to the second round.  Here is what I know about a knee injury.  It changes nearly every aspect of your lower body movement.  So the turf toe and hamstring could be related.  It makes him seem injury prone.  I guess the knee was not the most recent injury, so the others could have been a result of favoring the knee. Johnson did not run the 40 at the combine or pro day.  That suggests there is something he feels might drop his value.  So if you downplay the severity of the injury, have a history of possibly related injuries, and refuse to demonstrate (when given multiple opportunities) that you are fully recovered, don't get mad when your stock drops.
