Graded the acquisition a B-. Notes numbers aren't where fans may have expected but has helped Tannehill by stretching the field. Thoughts? I tend to agree with the comments, but I feel his effect on this offense may be a little bit higher than a B-, however overall I feel like this was a fairly decent analysis. Anyone want to weigh in with their thoughts?
 
I think early in the season it was a D and it's improved to a B here in the last half of the season and it's improving. I never realized he was so weak at going after the ball in the air but he's better in space than I thought he'd be as well.
 
F doesn't catch with hands. Just kidding. I would say they're right on the money.
 
That's fair. I'd give him at least a B because of how much he opens the field for other guys to make plays. I never understood some people's expectations of him. He's no megatron or aj green. Never was and likely never will be.
 
Too early to grade it. As others pointed out it started slow but has picked up. It will be hard to quantify his effect of stretching the field so he may never get all the credit he deserves for the impact on the offense.

The way his contract is structured, this is a determination that should be made at the end of next season.

He's improved.
 
What I can say for sure is that it makes our offensive vastly more dynamic, and more fun to watch. Wallace is getting open nearly every game deep, and hopefully soon we can start hitting on those shots more often....I think grade is fair and will go higher.

I have to wonder how much this analyst actually watched Wallace play, as opposed to looking at some blind stats, and he is really fast, so he has to free things up for RT and other receivers.

My run down has him as having a rough start, getting better, and when he and Tanny get on the same page, we will not be posting about not scoring 28 points. I dispute his freeing things up. Hartline is about the same as last year with #1 coverage, and RT does not have the time or timing to go deep to him.

Sure, he helps a bit but, not much so far. Not to take anything away from how he has played, as he has done well overall with all things considered. He has gone short and over the middle, and even blocked some. We have not seen the best of Wallace but, we will within the next year.
 
Sounds about right.

First half of season would of been a C- but after a few solid games move him up to a B- maybe B.

And it'll be equally hard to determine whether 1) that's even happening, or 2) if it is, whether that could've been accomplished about as well by a player for whom the team incurred far less of a cap hit.

Your expectations maybe.

Wallace drew double coverage most of the season and opened it up for others. Now teams catch up with our other receivers which gives Wallace more catches.
He is a solid B throughout the year. Once he gets rid of the butterfingers he sometimes has and Tannehill and him hook up more often deep it'll be an A.

Only those who have Wallace on their fantasy team and hoped for big stats can be unhappy.
