Mike Wallace = target for Pats deep threat?

[Kid~Brady]

Why would we pay him top $ and lose 1st round pick ? Why not just go and sign Marques Colston (Saints will likely Franchise Nicks), and still keep 31st pick

Colston is bigger, stronger, and better than Wallace. He's played in Saints system which is comparable to Pats offense.


Still pissed we passed on Wallace to take a injury ridden Brandon Tate, and of course Steelers scooped up Wallace with the next pick !

True but notice you left out faster. Wallace is a pure burner and gets seperation. We need this incorporated into out offense as much as I love the Colston idea.

Greetings,
Can't go wrong with either player if you ask me.

O.K. To live in dreamworld,but the Steelers are not giving the AFC Champions and one of their biggest rivals in the Conference a deep threat which was NEs main offensive weakness, for a measly low first round pick which is far from a guaranteed good NFL player.

Give the Steelers brass more credit than being ******ed .... They don't remain competive year after year by making brainless and gullible moves like some in here wish upon a star.

brady can't throw the ball that far

bowe would be a better fit

Bowe will be franchised. No chance

Wallace can get downfield and he's improved his 'stick' routes, but I'm still not overly impressed with his ability to consistently get open. Neither is he much value blocking in run support.

I think Antonio Brown is a better route runner than him and more instinctive.

I wouldn't be upset if we did it, but I would prefer signing Marques Colston/Reggie Wayne/BrandonLloyd and keeping the pick. I feel these guys are more complete receivers.

Don't sleep on Reggie Wayne's age....He's Jerry Rice and Tim Brown when it comes to longevity, he has 3 years of 85, 1000, 8 left in him. And he's a clinic on route running with arguably the best hands in football.

While I like Colston, your last claim is highly debatable.

What happened last year then?

Except that we haven't had the greatest of luck with geriatric receivers lately, and we need someone who can stretch a defense, not a wideout who is on the cusp of losing his ability to gain separation.

To who? Wayne or Wallace.

Wayne lost Manning and still managed 75, 960, 4 with Curtis Painter and Dan Orlovsky.

Wallace is improving but he's also the type of player that plays his best when he's 1st in the progression and then gets lackadaisical when he's not.

I don't hate the Wallace idea, I'd just prefer not to lose the pick if we can get one of the other guys.

it's not like Colston has no speed. guy is a 80catch, 1100yard machine for 6 years in a Saints offenses loaded with WR talent. Wallace maybe bit faster that's all. now granted Wallace is 25 and Colston is 29

Colston has great hands, and 6'3 220 very physical receiver, runs incredible routes and VERY underrated. The fact everyone here keeps talking Lloyd, Bowe, Desean, etc without even mentioning Colston is mind boggling

this year draft picks are worth their weight in gold due to new agreement. I see no reason to part with 31st pick just to get Wallace. we have other options

Reggie is a different cat.

He's been the same guy since he left Miami... Smart, Instinctive, leverages the field with all the routes, and can kill you on the double move with deceptive speed in his break on the stem.

I love Reggie Wayne; a dream for a receiver's coach.

Plus he loves the game and just does his job.

First 3 years in league for Wallace vs Colston

Colston - 70, 98, 47 catches. 47 because he played only 11 games. Would be another 70 catch season if he played 16. 8, 11, 5 TD
Wallace - 39, 60, 72. Played 16 games each season. 6, 10, 8 td

Tell me how is this debatable ?

Well, it isn't if you cherry pick stats for comparison.

 

[ATippett56]

I would not doubt if the New Orleans Saints sign Drew Brees to a contract extension before the start of unrestricted free agency and then franchise Colston.

FIRST 3 YEARS OF BOTH. DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND ENGLISH

So Catches and TD are cherry picked ? lol. Stick to watching 24 reruns

not sure if srs. They dont have a choice if they can't match the offer sheet. You do understand that he's a RFA, we're not trading for him.

 

[Kontradiction]

bowe would be a better fit

On the Hail Mary play in the Super Bowl, Brady reached the end zone from near the Pats 35 yard line. So I'm not sure what the hell you're talking about here. But Wallace would be a great fit. He would have been a great fit for years now. At damn sight better than Brandon Tate.

:confused2:

Colston isn't in his first 3 years

Using the rookie seasons as if they should be weighted evenly is terrible because of the other receivers involved on each side and because of the different amount of time it takes rookie WRs to adjust to the NFL

Wallace's last two seasons are arguably better than any two seasons Colston's ever had

Numbers aren't the sole determinant of ranking...

Toss in Wallace being 3 years younger and not having had microfracture surgery on both knees, and there's plenty to debate.

They are going to franchise Nicks, All Pro Guard.

Marques Colston wants a big contract to stay with the New Orleans Saints

I understand English just fine, thank you.

But thank you for essentially confirming my point.
