Is There Any Reason to Believe Markus Wheaton Is a Better Option Than Martavis Bryant?

Let’s cut to the chase and answer the question posed in the headline.

In short, no.

To be a little more thorough, heck no.

I know what Pittsburgh quarterback Ben Roethlisberger said, coming out and stating Markus Wheaton, not Martavis Bryant, is the team’s second receiver behind all-everything Antonio Brown. I also know what’s happened in the first two preseason games, during which Wheaton has repeatedly played over Bryant in two-receiver sets.

You know what else I know?

That Bryant is a whole lot better at football than Wheaton.
