    Wallace: Tannehill Can Be As Good As Big Ben

    When Mike Wallace left the Pittsburgh Steelers to sign with the Miami Dolphins, he also went from catching passes from a veteran Super Bowl champion to a quarterback entering his second season in the NFL.

    Well Mike, I think Wheaton will be a much better WR than you.

    They could be a very potent combination.

    All things considered I am glad we rid ourselves of that cancer.

    Mike Wallace seems to lack intelligence. I'm not saying he's dumb or anything, I'm just saying he seems a little under the IQ scores. What do you expect him to say though? He would have went to catch passes from Sanchez for that amount of money, and called him elite! He will one day realize that money isn't everything in this world.

    Re: Wallace: Tannehill Can Be As Good As Big Ben

    Tannehill actually has a hell of an arm, they will connect for quite a few yards this season. I think it's a little early to say wether or not he'll be as good as Ben, but he has some good tools to work with. Tannehill is a better QB than a lot of people give him credit for, I think him and Wallace together will be a pretty deadly combo.

    Yeah, sorry Mike, but I think you're about to find out what happens when you go from a good team to one that sucks. I'd bet any amount of money that within a year and a half, your stats are down and you're bitching that you don't get the ball enough, and everyone thinks you're a diva who quit once you got your big contract.

    Re: Wallace: Tannehill Can Be As Good As Big Ben

    I think Tannehill has some potential, but the organization doesn't. I like some of the things they've done this offseason, namely stealing Brent Grimes via free agency, but there is a huge difference between an organization like the Steelers and one like the Miami Dolphins. Wallace and Tannehill might put up decent numbers but until that team gets it together I seriously doubt it will be racking up the wins. They paid Wallace and Ellerbe way too much. And decisions like that, seemingly a habit of the Dolphins organization, shouldn't inspire confidence. Then again, maybe all Wallace wants is to put up numbers regardless of the win/loss column.

    Re: Wallace: Tannehill Can Be As Good As Big Ben

    whats the big deal? wallace has no reason to suck ben's balls while he's in miami and make tannehill feel resented? He's just giving his young sophomore quarterback the confidence that he needs

    Considering he quit before he got his big contract, I am not expecting much from him. However, I wish him all the best and I hope he gets his 2,000 yard season.

    Ditto. Wallace is in the rear view window. Not a concern anymore. I just want the Steelers receivers as a group to be more productive this season than last.

    Same here, if we don't produce on offense this year you both know that the torch and pitchfork crowd will be calling for Haley, and probably Tomlin's head.

    This.

    O Tannenbum hasn't shown me anything yet but Wallace should help.

    Fins still suck, though.

    Maybe if he plays Madden enough he will. It'd probably have to be on semi-pro though.

    Tannehill did very well last year for the shit corps of Wrs that he had. He has a cannon and has the best arm for a player on the run. If they play their cards right this team can be a force to be reckoned with.

    Tannehill certainly will not get help from Wallace who will play at half speed now that he has his big pay day. Watch Wallace quit on the team when Miami continues to lose

    I wouldnt sleep on the dolphins, they were not that bad last year lost a lot of close games and finished 7-9. They had a very good offseason and have a lot of momentum going into the season.

    If I were Mike, I'd be more excited about seeing the other Tannehill anyway...

    Re: Wallace: Tannehill Can Be As Good As Big Ben

    Tannehill has a very strong arm , no question about that ....

    where I have issue is we are talking about a second year QB who at this point we just do not know how he will develop ... he was over drafted IMO and if I am honest I do not believe he is as good as the kid we stole in the 4th round of this draft , how it all comes out in the wash is anyone's guess but based on Collegiate results and accomplishments Landry Jones is a far better prospect , and this draft in 2013 could see more long term starters come from it than people give credit by calling it a weak QB class ... sure it lacks OMG look at me star power on the surface but it was a very deep class with many potential future starters in it

    how they develop long term remains to be seen they all have flaws , how hard they work to over come them and the systems they have been placed in will prove to be the telling tale in the outcome

    How can he succeed when his no. 1 WR will be one of the biggest busts from this free agency class

    I'm glad Wallace is gone now and, he will realize how good he had it in the Burgh after this season.

    how good did he have it? The fans turned on him, we went to a dink and dunk offense, we finished 8-8 and he was making 2.9 million a year. Now hes in Miami, hes the man, and hes sitting on a 60 million dollar contract. Im just not seeing where hes going to miss being in the burg.

    Yeah, but it's more fun to be a hater until they play some games and prove me wrong. Then if they actually do any good, I'll just blow it off anyway. It's a much easier way of doing business.

    He's just lucky he was dealing with the Rooneys and not Kraft and Belichick - they would've cut him to the minimum $500k-and-some-change tender amount which the Rooneys had every right to do (but didn't) when he missed the June 15th deadline, and they would've done so without hesitation. He could've had it a LOT worse.
