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.

      Man whether it's the Panthers or the Hornets it's crazy how many foolish talking heads there are in the local media. I just unsubscribed from locked on Hornets. Doug Branson with his cheesy mustache is an absolute clown especially when his partner isn't on. Talking about trading LaMelo because he can't win basketball games by himself with no semblance whatsoever of a legitimate Center. These YouTube personalities will say anything for a damn click.

      Dream big: Imagine this future and tell me how you feel

      I’m hoping for that exact same scenario, two seconds would be big for us. I’d hope for 3 impact players. A WR/DL/DE that can contribute like this current class would be key to our rebuild.

      Forget about Bryce, Dave Canales is who we should be talking about.

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      When I look at what I can find, a carryover problem from last season is our receivers are still unable to get enough separation on a consistent basis. Canales is certainly better at scheming them open, like how he sneaked out Thielen for a big play. But then he's also having Thielen running routes he frankly shouldn't be doing anymore. I feel part of the RZ issues is not really having anyone - after trading Diontae - who can make those quick cuts on a short field to give whoever is under center a wider window to throw. We also only have one guy with blazing speed in Thompkins and from what I could see, he's really used more to draw away coverage. I bring this all up because what Canales needs for sustained success - other than QB - is the other receiver pieces we'll be getting in the offseason.  Otherwise, I have to say that Canales isn't as afraid to be aggressive offensively. As others mentioned, still doesn't run the ball enough at times. Finally, I still feel his playcalls still doesn't line up with his mantra of getting rid of the ball within x amount of seconds. Maybe I count too slow. Oh, and I'm glad Canales first game after a bye looked good. I feared he'd be like Ron Rivera where we would fall flat on our faces.
