Mike Wallace could be traded
Do not be surprised if Steelers trade Mike Wallace during training camp. They no longer believe they can sign him long term.

Most importantly though, Aaron Rodgers was in a zone than almost no other QB has ever been in for that playoff run. That was some of the best QB play the NFL has ever seen. Nobody was beating that team. |

It's only speculation but had Holmes been on that team, he would have been the difference. Regardless, I don't think that trading Holmes for a 5th round choice was the best move for the Steelers. |

This is true. The Steelers physically controlled that game. Ben had some really bad moments that blew it.

I guess my recollection of that game is different than everyone else's. The Packers jumped out to a big lead... the Steelers came back, but Mike Wallace had a nice game. Either way Rodgers outplayed Roethlisberger regardless of who the WR's were.
Rodgers was playing at a near flawless level in that playoffs. Nobody was beating that team. I didn't think this was even debatable. It was really something to watch. It's amazing how quickly people forget things. |

Well this is the NFL. No one is unbeatable. Otherwise you're just being arbitrary. Heck, I'd give you Ward, Wallace, and Holmes... I'd still take 2010 Rodgers over them. That was a really good team. That's why they went out and won 18 or 19 in a row or whatever it was. That doesn't guarantee winning a single game... but that was a really good team. Rodgers was in a zone that few, if any QB's have ever been in. I just don't think he would've let them lose. That was truly some of the best QB play I have ever seen. That doesn't even include that Rodgers can make throws 95% of QB's can't make... just from a pure quality of play standpoint he was amazing.

2010 Rodgers was great. 2011 Rodgers was incredible. They nearly missed the playoffs in 2010 with a ton of injuries.

2011 Rodgers was mostly an extension of 2010 Rodgers in the playoffs. That's why they won the Super Bowl. He was amazing. The only team that slowed him down really was Chicago. That game against the Falcons was an all-timer.

I've never felt sorry for a team, not even Miami in Dan Marino's last game which was a horrible way to go out. Damn if I didn't feel bad for Atlanta for what Rodgers did to them that day.

This is just a ridiculous comment. It doesn't matter who the qb is. Defenses still have to respect Wallace's speed. Even with Cassel at qb you still can stretch the defense with a guy like Wallace.

The Pittsburgh Trib-Review says Mike Wallace wants V-Jax money ($11.1 million annually), not Fitzgerald money ($15M): http://bit.ly/mpMpS3 |
