Colbert Says Wallace Will NOT Be Traded

[Big T]

We have a new offensive system that he needs to be on the field for. He can't just "come in" and play. He's got to get his timing and rhythm in this new offense and learn the nuances of it. He doesn't need to "miss games" for him not to be able to play.

It's very obvious that he's digging in. Especially the way the front office sent him a message with the siging of Brown.

I don't know where all that came from. All I'm saying is that him missing the first week of camp doesn't mean he's going to sit out for the first ten weeks of the season. This is nowhere near "officially a Vincent Jackson situation"... Do you know how many players hold out of training camp each year? A lot lol. And how often does it end with the player sitting for the first ten weeks? Rarely.

Steelers fans just love to overreact to and overdramatize these kinds of things.

Well said.........I agree 100%.....

past time.. I meant time for them to sign another WR and let Wallace sit...

Oh, sorry, misunderstood. If there's one out there, then yeah, go get him. Wallace is just going to be a distraction this year.

Yea at this point I'd bring someone in but that list is getting shorter as teams keep signing unemployed players..

He can just come in and play because all Ben will need to say to him is "GO LONG"

Ben: Ok Mike, glad to have you back
Mike: Thanks Ben
Ben: Ok Mike go long
Mike: Ok here we go
Mike: Damn it..........dropped it again!!!!

Not you too. Come on now big guy. I honestly don't see where everyone is getting this idea that Wallace drops a lot of passes...

I'll line up and say a whole lot of bad things about Wallace and him holding out (because I really truthfully believe it to be beyond stupid), but I agree that it is unfair to say that he drops a lot of passes. You have to remember that a lot of the passes he drops is because the ball was thrown way out of position. While he has amazing judgement to the ball, speed can only buy you so much space, especially if you have to wait for the ball.

A few people from NFL Network speculate that Wallace might sign his tender between the first and the second pre-season game.
