Wallace is becoming a more upscale version of Teddy Ginn. He needs to sit at the feet of Brandon Gibson and learn how to fight for the ball and then head north South.
Oh and anyone who wants to cut or trade Gibson, the best 2012 3rd and touch down completion percentage for receivers who played outside for those Rams, GYFS !
I dont have the game on(missed the first quarter and by the time i got back Tannehill had been pulled), but i agree. Im pleased with the general consensus that Gibson has bounced back from his injury, that was a concern.
When we signed him i thought he was just a fair player who had been given a fair contract. I figured he was more than depth but less than a starter. I was wrong. Hes proven to be pretty good and if he can stay healthy(which is not to say i think hes injury prone, but we still need him for a full season) then he absolutely deserves a bump in pay, $3 million is to low for him.
Wallace, on the other hand, is a mercenary. We knew this was a possibility when we signed him. He made it very clear he was all about the money. Well, sure enough, he got paid and now hes in cruise control mode. I have that Derrelle Revis pick burned into my memory, you could almost hear Wallace's thought process while it all happened "I could leap up and knock it down..." *begins to make a move* "...eh, theyll probably snag it, whatever" *gives up*. Incompetence can be corrected, but theres no cure for apathy.
In hindsight, we really should have seen this coming. After collecting a couple solid players in the late rounds but constantly busting on 2nd round picks, nailing a low signing but misjudging a premier signing is just so thoroughly "Ireland". Extend Gibson, let Landry and Matthews develop, spend a high round pick on a receiver next draft(preferably one with some real size, 6-3 or 6-4) and we have ourselves a nice lineup going forward. Cutting our losses with Wallace and selling Hartline for a mid round pick would allow us to create some cap room and land us a much needed pick.
