I'm done with Taco

[ShiningStar]

i remember when people were rueing we passed on Merriman.

 

[Bleu Star]

Being done with Taco....

This is truly something I could never subscribe to.

 

[Rodney]

Wait.... He played today!?

Lol yea u got spin around Goff was reading his jersey name but yea Taco played

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

Somebody pulled up a thread from Ware's rookie year a while back. People wanted to cut him and lamented not drafting Merriman.

There is no knock on Taco. Someone mentioned that it takes time to develop a DE.
My knock, painted highlands lad, was the notion that it takes an extended amount of time to develop a DE.
It does take time, but should not be a career-long process such as carver, ekuban et. al.
Granted, Taco has only four games under his belt.
I am sure that in Year 2 or 3 he will blossom. Otherwise, it is time to get another can't-miss DE.

Wonder if Taco would play better if we played on Tuesday's.

 

[tyke1doe]

Are we doing this every week

We'd have no team if we relied on the patience of some fans. Sigh.

 

[ufcrules1]

Who is taco?

 

[khiladi]

How are people even comparing him to Ware, when both were rookies.

Taco is credited with 2 tackles and 1 assist.

Ware had 8 sacks, 47 tackles and 11 assists..

The main point being Taco isn't even close to being on pace for that..

Nobody? Not even a little?

Yeah. Folks here are calling for this secondary to come forward this year and win a SB. WTH. It takes 3 yrs for a Safety or Corner to become truly NFL ready. This defense is 2 drafts and some serious luck away from being SB ready. Anything else is HOPE and BS.

Ware had no competition to start and he played 3-4 OLB. It's not a direct comparison.

I don't want to see us cut him. That would be irresponsible at this point. But he should be inactive or at least behind Tapper at this point.

We don't really need 10 DEs we just need about 4 to 5 really good ones. Lawrence and maybe Irving fit into that category. But it pisses me off we won't cut Kellen Moore and use his spot for positional players when we could stash Kellen Moore on the practice squad.

Yeah Tapper should be out there in place of Taco. What happened to that culture of competition Garrett? What a liar/con artist @Zordon people still get handed jobs in Dallas. Ask Leary

True, I guess the point is, people are using Merriman should have been picked before Ware as some sort of measure on judging Taco.. Merriman's numbers were not that much different than Ware, the first three years.

 

[fifaguy]

Never giving up tacos, but that's just me personally

 

[LocimusPrime]

Merrimen was awesome until he got off the PEDs.

That juice is a difference maker. Ask Captain America

Yep I remember he gained like 30 pounds leading up to the draft....seemed fishy.
It just took 3 years to catch him

Yes sir! That's why I'm worried about Irving. His PEDs suspension claims that he had "tainted" supplements. I'm hoping that this is the case and not that he's been using it for the last 3 years and just now got caught.

 

[TwoDeep3]

Are we doing this every week

Possibly daily until it is determined the season is simply for a better draft pick, or they get back to 2016 form.

Then there will still be people screaming about something. But what may be the most hilarious thing of all is if by some miracle the team became made it to the SB. The week leading up there will be people wringing hands on this board about salary space and how we are doomed to repeat.
