Twitter: Taco will not be activated tomorrow

This is the downside of having so much talent on the roster.

I agree, RS, but where are we lacking talent that trading him could help us with?

Will McClay was Assistant Director of Player Personnel when Taco was drafted and was promoted to Director the following year. The decision to draft him was a group decision and its crazy to judge a player two years after they were drafted. (or before they have played a game, in the case of Hill).

Refreshing to hear a voice of reason.

McClay actually really wanted the pick apparently and admitted it wasn’t the right one

Hill is going down the same path

???

Odd that if a team wants to trade for him that they didn’t do it already.

Maybe they just had a guy get hurt?

 

[gmoney112]

I didn't really see that coming.

He was the best DE we had against Houston in the "dress rehearsal". I don't know how anyone could say Jackson or Armstrong outplayed him in that game. He worked them over pretty good and nearly killed Watson.

I don't know. I wouldn't get rid of him now, we're finally seeing something.

I hate Marinelli,idiot screwed us over with Taco and his pet cat Hill is going down the same path,wish he would just retire and leave us alone.

Ya, you have issues man.

I wonder if this is an indicator the team expects Gregory to be available in the immediate or near future?

I guess that would make sense. If it's for a trade I really don't see why you'd trade him for anything less than a 3rd. Not because he's that good but because we probably aren't getting a starter for 4th or less, so why bother trading at all? Better to see if the lights finally come on for him than trading him for nothing IMO.

To have the information out that Charlton is inactive the day before the official pregame announcement is odd to me. Maybe there's a trade, but the timing is interesting.

Charlton should net a 4th or no deal. I expect a player for player trade.

 

[Joe Realist]

He will be good elsewhere

I’d like a 3rd rounder for him. If it’s for a pick I don’t we get anything more than a 5th.

 

[unionjack8]

hopefully we can get at least a fourth round pick for him.

Yeah. Zero chance of that. Be lucky for a conditional 6

 

[charron]

They drafted taco knowing it would be a few years before his skill equalled his physical measurements. So not playing him now seems crazy. Will be interesting to see this all play out.

 

[Cowboyz88]

I have heard that the scouts wanted Watt but Marinelli wanted Taco.

GM Jerry gave Marinelli what he wanted.

 

[Blackthorn]

If he has any business savvy at all, he should leverage his 15 minutes of fame and start a taco franchise pronto.

He has leveraged endorsements from his name.

Bummer.

Really hoped he could turn it around this year

 

[DeaconBlues]

Trade brewing?

What can we get for Taco?

AB.

And, no, I’m not serious.

Funny thing is the ‘likes’ you got on this post are because these guys think you’re being serious

I think he means a high pick who takes way too long to come around. Maybe.
