    17 players have already passed the 900 yard mark. Brown passed the 900 yard mark in game 10

    2 catches, 19 yards. 56 for 743 on the season.

    And he was on the winning team. Disgusting.

    Re: Mike Wallace

    I think today proved that Brown is a better receiver than Wallace. Brown's 43 yard TD and even the should be TD where he stepped out of bounds proved that the Steelers have not lost all of their speed, a popular talking point among some

    Re: Mike Wallace

    Mike Wallace is the NFL's 33rd best wide-receiver and is not even the best wide-receiver on his team. Antonio Brown is the NFL's 3rd best wide-receiver and is 17 yards and four touchdowns away from doing more than Mike Wallace EVER did in a Steelers uniform.

    Antonio Brown is the better player, and teams WILL fear him more than Mike Wallace.

    Teams already do fear him more than Mike Wallace. Wallace sucks. 2 for 19 against your former team? Wallace is a loser.

    Re: Mike Wallace

    Wallace did open up other WRs though, you have to admit that. Not saying he is worth the money paid, but if the Dolphins win and he DOES attract attention, the team winning is all that matters.

    Would you rather have a $60 million WR on a winning team that does little or a $5million WR on a losing team who does a lot?

    Winning is all that matters.

    Winning is all that matters, but this thread is about discussing whether or not Wallace the individual is worth $60 million, which he has proven so far, he hasn't been

    I actually do buy that he opens up a lot of the field.

    But a couple things about that.

    1. It, on its own, isn't worth $60 million.

    2. Unless Wallace becomes the threat he once was, that effect will quickly vanish. Another season of this, two seasons? No one will be legitimately afraid of him. So while it might help now, it won't for long.

    6 for 105, 64 for 867. Looks like steeldawg will win the bet, but just barely.

    Although, the games do have to be played. We shall see.

    I was looking at it from a fans point of view. IF the team is winning, I couldn't care less how much the guy is being paid.

    Well it looks like he barely cracked 900.

    4 for 38 and 0 TD in yesterday's game.

    68 for 905 for the season.

    Too bad when talking about and trying to justify a $60,000,000 paycheck for a receiver we had to set the bar low @ 900 yards.

    Re: Mike Wallace

    Why don't you guys parlay on whether he will hit 1000?

    Steeldawg may have won the bet but the Steelers won on this move.

    Wallace is probably thinking of his condo on the beach right now where it is 80* and sunny.

    Congrats, Steeldawg.

    I will make the donation following the holidays. It might be in two installments, but a contribution of $50 total will make its way into the SU coffers for the new year.

    It was a close wager. And even in losing, I feel pretty vindicated that my evaluation of Wallace is closer to the truth than yours. But congratulations, non-the-less. He made the goal.

    Mike Wallace: 905 yards with one game yet to play.

    Somehow, I don't think Steeldawg would agree to this.

    Hartline: 74 rec. 978 yards and 4 td
    Wallace: 68 rec. 905 yards and 4 td

    Yet one of them gets paid too much. Oh and Wallace had one more target then Hartline.

    hold your horses ....

    what if he makes a catch at the LOS reverses his field and is tackled for a loss of 7 and never sees the ball again ? then he would be at 898 for the year and you would win the bet LOL ( it is possible , unlikely but possible )

    Maybe if he was still with the Steelers and our affinity to the bubble screen. Not sure if Miami has the same proclivity.

    Wallace 5-25-1 td. Season yardage total of 930, and the Fish miss the playoffs. Well done Dolphins!

    If they wanted him to hit the 1k mark, they should have paid him more. The giving a shit/jumping/reaching out for the ball option is not included at the $60,000,000 price point.

    Man. Losing by 30 yards stings, I'll admit. I really didn't think he'd break 900. Maybe he's a little better than I thought?

    The Dolphins was 26th in offense last year....Not a huge impact for Wallace!
