Who would have known that he was good with really only one thing in Pittsburgh and wasn't consistent running or catching underneath routes?

We all knew what we were getting. Problem is we didnt even get that. I hate you Wallace.

Still not gonna hate on Wallace yet..if we would just start running the ball more often..you might see some deeper routes via play action pass

For the record, his former OC, Bruce Arians disagrees.

well don't understand why we gave up on Marshall and it would not have killed us to add Dez and then we would have had a great wr corp.
if it had been up to me I would have kept Reggie , Brandon Marshall , and drafted Dez then I would have drafted different olinemen .
I don't know how I would address the defense but don't have some need at corner and safety. -
If he was so successful with such a limited skill set, that doesn't speak well for the Miami Dolphins coaches and players executing the passing game.
Yes he has dropped passes. But I don't think he's forgotten how to do the things he did in Pittsburgh. -
Further evidence Ireland really doesn't get the offensive side of things very well.

Miami has always misused players. Marshall wasn't as effective in Miami than he was in Denver/Chicago. Reggie Bush was underutilized in the passing game and we all knew that... Now look what he's doing in Detroit. I don't believe Wallace is a one trick pony. But we got to get him involved. We don't do enough quick scene passes like the big gain against New England last week or the TD against Indy. And we haven't been effectively going deep with him. Some of those miscues are on him, but he's not the main culprit in his struggles.
-
If all he is is a vertical threat, then we shouldn't have given him that contract. -
He's not dynamic though. He's a deep threat only. It's what I was telling y'all before we signed him.
The definition of dynamic when it is used as an adjective is a process that is characterized by constant change, action, or progress.
If anything, Mike Wallace is a static play maker who you can really only utilize his talents in limited ways. -

Before we signed him, KBs only anti-wallace argument was that he couldn't run a full route tree. literally.. paragraphs, pages, threads. everything about that and ONLY that. ... Cant run a full route tree.
That got proven wrong 100%. There were even full route tree break downs and pictures showing it to be 100% false..... and the problem has been more along the lines of drops and I'll say overall execution, moreso than not being able to run the full 'route tree'.
Yet I waited because I knew no matter what Wallace did wrong you would fit it into an "I told you so" agenda, Although its not what you said even a little bit in your 27,000 posts before the signing.
Just because we can't utilize him properly and hes dropping balls like its what he is paid to do, does not make you correct in any assessment you've made. -
-
He definitely bounced back, and made at least one game-changing play. Give him credit. Gotta give him credit.

KB is an interesting mix when it comes to Wallace, those who may think he is bashing him may not realize he was hyping the hell out of him during the year he was drafted.
I think what KB's point is, more or less boils down to Wallace is still as physically gifted as he ever was, it is more he has not progressed as a professional Wr.
Which is fine, where I disagree with KB is "..he was not worth the contract!!!!"
If KB were a GM..sure, perhaps valid, he's not, the money is not his to particularly care about. -
While Wallace's drops and his lack of fighting for the ball are frustrating, I don't think you'll really get a good look at his speed until the line gives Tannehill the time to throw. And if Wallace has a one on one matchup, I say let him run deep and just chuck it. Forget the timing and trying to drop it in. If he's so damn fast let him catch up to it.
-
He is a one trick pony but it doesn't help that the Line doesn't give Tannehill enough time to make those kind of throws. I wont write Mike Wallace off yet.

He think professionalism trumps athleticism, I believe athleticism can trump professionalism
Anthony Newman is a pro NFL Cb, Wallace toasted him and his only response was to tackle him drawing the PI call which eventually led to the GW safety.
Dbess or Bline do not cause that to happen, and they were pro Wr's who are very professional.
Sort of I view athleticism in SOME environments as "...everyone has a plan until they are punched in the mouth (via Tyson)..."
