Wallace decided to leave the bills based on the color of his underwear.

"Honestly, I was on the fence of either staying with Buffalo or going to Pittsburgh. And ultimately, when my agent called, and he was like, ‘You should think about going to Pittsburgh.’ I said, ‘OK, I’ll call you back, let me pray about this.’ I prayed, and I said, ‘Lord, if you want me to go to Pittsburgh, let me know, give me a sign.’ Man, I’m just sitting there, just contemplating, and I looked down, and bro, I had black and gold shorts on,” Wallace said. “I was like, ‘Do you know what?’ There it is. There’s a sign. The Lord must want me to go to Pittsburgh. And I honestly just called my agent back and was like, ‘let’s go, let’s do it.’"

The sign he got from Pitt wasn't black and gold. It was green.

Just a side bar on this often referenced stat. The "less than 4 years" counts every single player to even get an invite to a camp. All the wash outs bring the average down.   When you remove

If this is all how it went down (and according to Wallace, it is), he made a poor decision.  He could have remained a starter on a Super Bowl contender, or go to a lesser team where he has not established himself.  Also, the Bills system is very favorable to DBs - I don't know if the Steelers system can say the same.  Finally, the Bills were the team that "gave him his shot" as a UDFA, so some guys are loyal in that way, although he also gave back to the team by playing well at a low salary.  From what I understand, the Steelers offer wasn't more than what he would have gotten from the Bills.

 

EDIT:  If the Steelers' offer was significantly larger than the Bills' then I'm fine with his decision.  More money is a legitimate reason to take one offer over another, particularly when you came in as a UDFA and are not making the big bucks that some of the other guys in the league are making.  (Based on the limited information I have seen, the Steelers' offer was not a game-changer and probably not more than he would have gotten from the Bills.)

Yeah and the dolphins fans are all excited to play us because of what Hill did to us in the playoffs but then give me a blank stare when I tell them the corner he did that to plays for Pittsburgh now and some with a straight face say to me don’t lie  that was tre white.

Kindly remind them that Mahomes is one of the best QB's in the game and that a 5 year old girl can throw a football farther then Tua.

This was already discussed. And he said shorts, right? Not underwear.

Neither is it worthy of two threads by the same OP.

The OP started the other one too? Man, this is really bothering him.

This staff is very strong at coaching up the secondary. 

 

They get average play out of sub-average players, get above-average play out of JAG's and can unlock elite play in those who are truly gifted. 

 

However they replace Levi, we'll be fine. The only question is whether his play declines in Pitt.

But did you know that Coach McDermott and Coach Tomlin played college football together?  :)

It can be. Faith is one thing, but if one is being honest with themselves, making financial/life decisions based on the color of one’s “shorts” they happen to have on that day is being a bit moronic…, I mean, what if he was going commando at that moment????? 😂

What if the color of Levi Wallace's undergarments in March 2022 (and whatever the Lord's involvement in that was) was the reason we ultimately don't win a Super Bowl this year? Something to think on for you guys that like to worry.

:lol: They can have that burnt slice of Nature's Own. Pittsburgh fans will appreciate the 37 times he gives up one more yard than the offense needs on 3rd down per season allowing a 1st.

Why would his agent suggest pittsburgh if the contract was what the Bills would have easily offered?

 

From what folks can gather out of Beane's press conference and the answers he gave regarding the McKissic debacle, the Bills didn't give Wallace's camp a solid offer because they were moving that money to McKissic. Then when McKissic went back to Washington, Wallace had already signed with Pitt, and Beane was pissed because we could have made a better effort to sign Wallace and not have that hole.

The Levi Wallace hate runs deep at TBD....  I for one wish him well.  Dude balled to the best of his ability while here, and he is not worthy of the scorn and derision shown towards him at TBD.

No one hates Levi, he is a good man with a lot of heart, it was a small group of noisy posters here that were also out to bash Star and Edmunds etc etc, at the drop of a hat.

He’s made a decision to get paid more for doing the same job, with a different company.  99% of you would do the same thing.  Let’s not forget the average NFL career is less than 4 years and is easily taken away by a freak injury.  I would rather he stayed a Bill, he’s a solid player, but I’m not mad at him for choosing to get paid.

Difference between faith and superstition - making a choice based on the color shorts you’re wearing at the time falls to the latter, not the former.

 

He’s just using faith to find confidence in the decision itself, but hey to each their own.

Some people ask god to give them a sign & if your not paying attention you will miss it because it could be a very subtle sign but sounds like he was listening so good for him I hope he does well & his decision was good for him his family & his future . 🙌
