I think they are testing this young man, trying to motivate him (I have heard of 2 reports over last 3 weeks saying he had a couple of huge practices - but then must slump again), trying to toughen him mentally, and want see what he has got. I think he gets another offseason for sure, and next season he will have chance to earn a spot on game day roster. Some guys take 3 years to get going. I don't think Marinelli likes pouters - so Taco has to watch his attitude. Some guys can get away with being pouty some can't - just the way it is. If we are having same conversations next season - then likely he was a bust for a 1st rounder, but sometimes it takes time for it all to come together. Plus, we give Irving and Gregory 1000 chances (yes, they have more obvious physical attributes/talent), so Taco probably should get a bit more time.
