No, he's never going to live up to his draft hype, but he's produced pretty consistently with us; the only reason he doesn't is when he's on the bench.
You do remember the part where Wheaton has sucked shit every time we've tried him in the #2 spot, right? He thrives against third corners and safeties, but against CBs who are average or better, he just can't get open.
Yeah, this reminds me a lot of Sanders, except for how Sanders didn't have the glaring, smack-you-in-the-face types of weaknesses.
