Taco might be on a roster this season but he's terrible and always was.
Yet he still has a job. You can look around the NFL draft landscape and see that many failed.
I guess if you want to be a positive dork, yeah....we are pretty good at identifying NFL talent.
It has been since what, the Lacewell era, where we had high picks that showed they just couldn't play?
We draft guys that don't fit. We draft guys without a role in mind. I think we might have that with Quinn, but I am not so sure.
That is the frustrating part about things in the last decade. It is not like we have been drafting just bums and can just point at that.
We have been drafting bums that were poor fits within that critical rookie contract phase and we all know that is pretty much the average shelf life of a coordinator. And when they are old or dipshits, it makes it worse.
You can't empower the coordinator, especially on defense. There is a balance there where the GM should be able to step in and provide a counterbalance.
We don't have that. That alone is the root cause.
