Wallace was definitely a star with the Steelers.  It was Ben who made him one.  And Sanders and JuJu and Heath Miller and all the rest.  It goes without saying that Ben is the engine.  Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go wash my mouth out with soap.

I've had to begrudgingly admit that Brady is the GOAT so I know how you feel.

That's my point.
Sanders and Browns success was attributed to Wallace "taking the top off" of the defense and allowing them to work underneath, and it was doubted by many that Brown could do what he did without Wallace being around. We now know that to not be true.

But the biggest reason that Wallace was exposed is that HE didn't have the team or QB around him to succeed. What if he would have accepted the Steelers offer (he turned it down and they gave it to AB, a move that met with criticism) and Brown went to Miami? I could see Brown fading away while Wallace continued to put up big numbers here.
