Taco Charlton look out thread

[Verdict]

So what's the solution? Not criticize a player not playing well?

Some of you are way too sensitive.

Yeah they just want sweet music and that's all. You can't be realistic. Maybe we need a "safe zone" for the snowflakes to post in where they would never hear anything negative at all.

 

[Fla Cowpoke]

When his highlight play of the game is getting "close" to the QB when he is unblocked, that's serious reaching for some sunshine on a cloudy day.

How many plays did he get? The starters were playing pretty well so hard for a backup to get a ton of time. And he got on the field. That is better than many other games. It is smarter to get him time than it is to waste time on a vet like Mayowa who is not getting any better.....6 tackles all year and a guy like Moore who is not suddenly going to be anything more than he has been in his other stops.

The solution is to enjoy the victory Today.
And realize that he is a rookie. Maybe look at more than 2 cherry picked plays. Heck I bet you can find at least 10 plays where Demarcus Lawrence was taken out of the play or ended up on the ground.

At this point and with Irving and Dlaw playing so well I simply dont expect anything from Taco. Hes clearly not ready and he wont get many reps going forward. All we can hope is that he develops over the season and next offseason. Hes a project, that much is clear.

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

when will he make his first play and what will it be?

Sack fumble vs the Skins. Book it lol

He will trip over his feet and accidentally bring down Cousins at the line of scrimmage.

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

Pile on they should. He's struggling. That's pretty clear.

On the one hand, taco is just a rookie. On the other hand he has shown little else other than garden variety ineptness.
I am torn.
He needs two years of experience. After that, without improvement, he is just a Kavika.

Contract year....

That's funny. Thanks for the last laugh.

You don't draft projects in the first round.

You don't draft projects in the first round.

As someone else stated, he was a late round pick, practically a high second round, give the guy some time.

Taco "getting on the field" means nothing, really, if he doesn't show anything when he plays. Quite honestly, I wasn't a fan of the pick when it was made, and I figured he would struggle a little bit as a rookie. It's to be expected and it's the norm.

However if you would have told me he would have absolutely ZERO impact and not even really flash any sort of glimpse that he might eventually "make a hand" I wouldn't have guessed that at all. He has been a greater disappointment so far than I envisioned he would be.

A first round pick should show something. Something. To expect nothing from him is setting the bar far too low.

Preach it. We could have drafted a project in the 2 through 4th and had received more production than we have received from Taco.

 

[Alexander]

Lawrence was not great his rookie season either, though not as bad as Taco

he is in desperate need of 2 NFL offseason training programs imo

Good deflection. He needs some training and development.

Once he reshapes his body he will work out.

Or something.

Agreed. But we should be seeing steady improvement and a splash play here or there while he gets acclimated to the game.

Does he have a single splash play in 6 NFL games?

Hey. Give him time. You are being completely unreasonable.

Hes doing fine, give it a rest

Yes and the Taco appologists will say "See, it was only a matter of time!!"

No. You guys are setting the bar far too low. Any poster on this board could do what Taco is doing for us now. Nothing.

Are you guys having fun slobbering on each other?

No. I think I'll continue my "Taco Bashfest". Anyone want to join me? Or do you guys prefer to clap for him as he spins out of the play?
