Wallace also a much better runner than Snead. They do kinda look the same when they run though i.e. tall and goofy.

Yeah, Wallace is a better runner. He's also a tougher runner. I remember the Cotton Bowl where Snead got his block knocked off. He didn't even know his own name. Thought he was Monica Gelson, a housewife from Missouri.

In Snead's defense he wasn't running the ball on that play

Same player if you ask me. Both have great moments, then they have those stretches where wierd stupid things happen to them. When it happens both have a couple series where they just completely meltdown.
Only difference is Wallace seems to have the ability once a few things go right to turn it around.
I feel like both are a INT waiting to happen. Bo still has time to get better.

This is true. He had just thrown an interception.

Wallace was injured. Severely injured when it comes to throwing the ball, but still had the toughness to finish the season.
One thing I've noticed -- and I might just be crazy -- but it sure seems like there was a deflation element to Snead. Something bad would happen, and it would just ruin him. Wallace fights every play.
Another thing that seems to me... the receivers believe in him. Yeah, he makes some mistakes. But he sure seems like more of a leader to me. You know, it says something when a QB runs up the gut and is knocking guys over to fight for that extra yard. And all the linemen run up and pull him up and pat him on the head. That's something they see and they respect.
I just get a totally different feel from Wallace. He's kind of a throwback type QB from the 70's. I don't get any sense of a prima donna from him. He also doesn't seem to engage in the blame game. Two positive attributes in my book.

Yeah Wallace is a fearless competitor.
That being said I cant tell you how many games he would make a mistake and the next series start pressing and make another.
I thought Snead was a very good QB. I just think he had a horrible staff, a inexperienced LT, and horrible advice leaving early. He needed one more year of development.(even though he wasnt getting much development)

Hey, there's no way I would ever defend Hootie and his staff, who absolutely contributed to Snead's regression. From what I heard, Snead pleaded for help with his throwing motion and footwork, but got little help in return.
Not surprising.
Like Cutcliffe, the game has passed Nutt by. It's evolved to a point beyond what they do, and while what they do works to an extent, it will never be what it once was. That's okay. It's the nature of the game. It's why teams don't run the wishbone or T formation anymore.

Snead was never the same after he lost Oher. He went from Oher to Bradley Sowell (who is my least favorite rebel of all time). I, hands down, will take Wallace over Snead all day erday. They both had alot of picks but Wallaces were trying to make plays, Sneads were because he was scared to death and played like it. Snead regressed. Wallace has a chance to progress. Also, Wallace has some competition which will really benefit him.

Which I why I think they really are one in the same. At least to this point. Sowell never reached his full potential, Massie didnt, and neither did Snead. Sowell was playing TE the year before. He wasnt ready to be a starting LT.
Both were INT machines. Make some great plays and then do something that just leaves you wondering what was he thinking. I had no problem with Snead. You can only get hit so many times from the blind side before you start getting a little paranoid.
