[CatfanMO]

Yes... It makes more sense now then ever. Thoughts?

I would be Ok with Funch also. This would let Samuel line up outside. Unless you all are cool with Dickson...

KB and Funchess are no different than the other good TEs in the league in size. Tell me how they are not. Our main WRs would be TEs else where.

Great idea -- Additionally, Cam Newton should be moved to OT. With his athleticism at the position, there would finally be some decent protection for...wait a minute...

If Cam was the size as an OT, then so be it because he isnt performing well at QB. Our WRs are TEs.

After all, we were successful at converting Matt Ryan to OT. Shouldn't be hard.

A couple of months in the cafeteria and he would be the size of an OT. Point is, switching a guy in his mid-20s isn't usually a great idea.

Still going to be a receiver, just lining up different. I dont think it would be that hard to learn the plays as a TE.

The plays would be fine, but the techniques (both blocking and receiving closer to the line) would be tough to just pick up. 

Some recently 'converted TEs': Darren Walker, Aaron Peck, Cole Gardner -- most guys who make the jump are first year players, and even they don't have a great hit rate. There's a reason why it hasn't been done much.

As a pass catching, route running playmaker who lines up similarly to a TE I could absolutely see either Funch or KB in that role.

The issue becomes, they cannot run or pass block like every other TE is asked to do on a regular basis. I mean, Funch was a TE in college and still can't block a dang CB without getting called for holding. Same with KB.

Kelvin barely knows the WR playbook.
