KB to TE

Great idea -- Additionally, Cam Newton should be moved to his 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.

    • I said the conservative play calling was because Canales doesn't think we can win shootouts. Yes, I did say part of that was because of the young, inexperienced receivers and that the OL is better suited for run blocking. I should have also included Young as part of the reason as well but I was responding to the post concerning "young receivers" and Thielens' absence. I am not so enamored with Young that I think all his problems are simply because of the receivers. I do think they overpaid for him and he has not lived up to the cost. He has had his struggles, as does pretty much every rookie qb thrown into a bad situation. But I have seen enough good things to have hope that he continues to get better. The OP is just pointing out how his performance late in the games when the game is on the line is one of those good things.  
    • I think it goes both ways  It could be they are used to pocket passers, not someone who constantly has to create throwing zones for himself with pocket movement  point being, whether it is Young or the receivers or the sun or the moon or the wind, can’t win in the nfl without the threat of a downfield attack
