Mike Wallace released

Recommended Posts

Wallace is another guy like Harvin, Holmes, etc. that will get overpaid by someone based on name.  Wallace is a burner with explosive potential, but, IMO, hasn't played up to his paycheck bracket since Pittsburgh.  On a cheap deal, I'd consider him, but his attitude is too reminiscent of Harvin and Holmes.

29 years old, 6'0" 200 lbs., 8th season, has deep speed, inconsistent hands, and earned a bad rep in Miami. Chances aren't good, but we'll see. Must come cheap.

Word was that the Vikes wanted him at 5-6 million, which I'd call a pretty fair offer for how he's performed - but he wanted a few million more.

Get the impression he still believes he's better / worth more money than he actually is.

Was a bad fit in Minnesota. Bridgewater doesn't have the cannon to take advantage of Wallace's best ability, his deep speed. Since we play Minnesota next season, I'm disappointed he won't be there clunking up their offensive gameplan and locker room.

I'd love to have him but not for anything close to what he wants plus we've got Ginn for another year and he's basically Ted Ginn with a little better hands. If he's available again next year for cheap and we don't re-sign Ginn then absolutely. Not now though.

    • Poster board? Were you trying to use the term poster child?
    • I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive short or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads, be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
