Such an odd 2nd round pick. The guy was good enough to start exactly one game his last season at UCF.

There is a radio interview with the D-Coordinator after the draft where they asked him questions about Hill.

The DC said in their program that the best players do not always start.

I've posted the interview here before.

In general, the idea of not starting your best players makes zero sense.

Do you think the D-Coordinator was possibly just trying to put a positive spin on a guy he liked/is pulling for?

Scapegoating 101 here.

Go back and read all of Marinelli's praise on Hill right after the draft selection.

Marinelli can't admit he was dead wrong on Eval and he has not coached him up. Must be someone else's fault.


Wat? Both can be (and obviously are) true.

What I dont get is he had basically the same scouting report as Taco with the added baggage of red flags with his coaching staff but Marinelli AND Richard basically pounded the table for this guy. Stranger than that is many expected there to be a different result
A big red flag for me was that Harbaugh, his defensive coordinator Don Brown, and his DL coach Greg Mattison are all three HARD NOSED coaches yet they could not get Taco to maximize his potential. Where are the background checks to properly weed these types of characters out of the draft???

It is a human flaw to believe everyone deserves a second chance. Rod got the most out of selvie and some others, but regrettably not everyone responds to being given a second chance. Nip it in the bud.

Falling in love with a player based on the prepped polished persona they put on during combine interviews is like falling in love with a chick on your first date. They should have done a proper background check to find out what he's really like during the dog days of a long football season.

The day I heard that he signed a contract with Marinelli I started having flashbacks to Randy Gregory and all the promises he was making after getting drafted. These guys are just saying whatever in order to get in the good graces of a team and get drafted.

The front office should have a life fan poll when we’re on the clock..just maybe they would listen to us one of these years lol
Kind of like an american idol for drafting....fans call in votes you may be on to something

This is completely meaningless.

Marinelli could have said Hill is terrible or he could have said Hill is super awesome.

The quote is from Clarence Hill. That guy has been wrong more often than not over the years.

There is no way to know what Marinelli said unless there is audio of them saying it.
You're doing too much man. C-hill is a good reporter.

It is moronic that most people just automatically believe anything on twitter.

It is also moronic to just give up on a player when Marinelli has said that the player give great effort in practices.
It is moronic not to believe your eyes.

i.e.... here is a hot Cowboys cheerleader.



Remember, it is moronic not to believe your eyes.

So, out of a 1st, 2nd, and 2nd round picks, the only thing we have to show for it on the DL is a regressing player.

Why are we so bad at drafting DL? And if Marinelli overrules the collective wisdom of all the scouts and work that's been put into your evaluations, you are probably incompetent.

Sometimes the only thing that will straighten out an underachiever is peer pressure. Unfortunately, players are loathe to do this. Dak exhorted some to work harder prior to the eagles game. Many cz'ers accused him of throwing them under the bus. But we played our best game of the season. Time for team leaders to speak up again. If not, release hill now and move on.
