Rumors and speculations surrounding Taco's attitude notwithstanding, two teams have now released a former first round draft choice within the first five years of his career.
I am afraid Taco will be forever labeled as an uncoachable first round bust
He was the 58th pick (2nd round), not a 1st round pick.That's one first round pick that's going to forever sting.
Followed closely by Hill.
Thanks, Rod.. Just.. thanks.
Review his sacks.....he had several gimmes for Miami....he is simply not good.
Still pissed we passed on watt for that guy!!
Taco was this team's worst first-round pick in many years. At best maybe someone will sign him for depth at or near the league minimum, but I wouldn't be surprised to see him in the CFL.
I think he'd quit first. His work this isn't good enough to put in the effort to try to resuscitate a quickly failing NFL career. It's 'everybody else', never 'him'.
Every time TJ Watt makes a play... it’s a reminderThat's one first round pick that's going to forever sting.

How do you fix a persons attitude/personality with coaching?Attitude ended Taco's career at both places. I'm curious to see if he's done in the NFL or the right coach comes along, fixes his attitude and saves his career. I don't even know who that would be.
That sounds like a fair assessment.Started out pretty well then got DNP's. I think he is a fairly solid player, but with serious attitude problems
How are sacks not equal? Well for one, does it come by defeating double teams like DLaw has to do? Were they all explosive sacks or give ups that counted in the stats like Tacos sack vs Dak where Dak should have just thrown the ball at the sideline but instead stepped out with Taco chasing him. Taco never tackled him.
How many pressures did they generate besides just a few flashy plays? Sacks are like batting average. They are an old countable stat but the better stat is getting consistent pressure because that has more of an impact every down than just one play out of 50 a game.
Ideally you want both pressures and sacks, but I’d rather have a guy with a ton of pressure and not as many sacks than a guy with a middle number of sacks but no pressures.
I'm a retired military man. Don't ever tell me grown men's attitudes can't be corrected. It's done with leadership and winning that man's heart by showing you care and have his best interests in mind. A superior attitude always triumphs over an inferior one. Of course there those individuals that aren't worth the time and energy but those people don't usually get to college and make it to the NFL in the first place.How do you fix a persons attitude/personality with coaching?
this isn’t little league or high school ball.. these are grown men who probably are who they are gonna be for the rest of their lives
lmao I’m sorry not a bash on you but this starts with Taco himself and probably a self inflated ego... when you were on one of the worst teams showing promise and they still sit you should be a red fire alarm how much of a distraction you are in a locker room that was obviously “Tanking for Tua”
Now everyone can just quit whining & just let this one go...the worst team in the league didnt want him...
Lol. Go get him Jerry!
It’s attitude and lack of talent with Taco. Watch the film. He will not be back in the NFL!I'm a retired military man. Don't ever tell me grown men's attitudes can't be corrected.

Attitude is fixable. He would not have fooled the scouts to the degree that got him drafted in the first round if talent was the issue. I don't need to watch any more film on this guy. He is redeemable.It’s attitude and lack of talent with Taco. Watch the film. He will not be back in the NFL!
