Wallace Wright - our new WR


Rhys

Recommended Posts

I know it's not a big name, but Wallace is a player. You'll love him. I've followed his career since he left Pine Forest in Fayetteville, and pulled for him. I've always known him through other people and met him a couple times being from Fayetteville.

His girlfriend used to work with me when we were in high school and he'd come in a lot. Real cool guy. He's got to be ecstatic to be coming back home.

You won't be disappointed. I know he's not Antonio Bryant or Kevin Walter, but the guy plays his role. He's a ST ace and does have potential as a WR.

IIRC, he didn't get a scholarship offer from major schools but had good enough grades so he applied to UNC and got in off his academics. He tried out for the football team and made it as a walk-on. Was mostly a ST guy the first year or so and then they put him in at KR and he did some serious work. Showed some playmaking ability, so they gave him a shot on offense his last year and a half or so, and again, he showed out.

Look up an article on it, you'll like what you read.

He sees the odds and beats them. He's a player. Kind of like Kassim Osgood, but not quite as big.

I'm really happy for him and it's a good pick-up for us. Surprised NYJ didn't tender him.

lol!!! all the people on this board all of a sudden become experts on wallace wright. most probably didnt even know he existed until right now, and now he is the greatest special team player ever.

not an expert by any means, but I know he's a ST ace. Something the panthers have been missing for a while.

knowing that we had a need for a gunner the past couple years i have kept up with stuff like this. it doesn't take much to find out what he can do and how valuable he is, esp. to a team that has been lacking in return coverage for several years.

    • They can get film of all the games? Every team? Wow! Who knew… Our games with them are big examples of why they are in  the CB market so hard.   It is the study they do getting ready for the games.  Preparing to play against is a little different than just analyzing film in scout mode. Deeper dive. Then you are analyzing post game too.  This goes to why players often change teams but stay in the division. The opponents know each other on a higher level.  Plus if you lost to us, you used to get fired. Now you have to trade your first round pick. Moving up on the world. 
    • I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).
    • It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
