Can we try making Darren Waller a WR?

[DocJJ]

Thinking outside the box a bit... but I think we should experiment with moving Waller back to WR.   He is a huge guy with good hands, who's pretty fast for his size.   He could create some mismatches in coverage and be a viable end zone target on a team that is lacking in WR.

 

Any thoughts?

He'll still split out wide, but if we a legitimate option at WR, he would have stayed at WR.  He was moved to TE because he couldn't hack it as a true, full time outside receiver.  He's better used as a seam stretcher against safeties and linebackers.

While playing at WR all Joe Flacco ever did was underthrow Waller.  Flacco seemed to get over it last year, but Joe had a year (2015)  where he consistently didn't put enough on the deep ball. There is no reason Waller can't be a Randy Moss type player for us. He's not quite as fast as Moss but unless the hammy injury in 2015 took something out of him Waller is very fast and builds his speed quickly. He should be able to elevate on long go's and haul in the deep ball against a speed spread defense. He's even less of a body catcher than Moss and should be able to high point those go routes.  Of course, Joe has to have time and a running game to make the go effective.

What Joe did with him were ally oops that were scripted and because they were scripted they failed terribly. Waller is one of my two for player most likely to improve.

Nah... I mean he's never even played the position...

I mean, he did start out at WR, so it's not that far out of the box...that being said, he never really left WR. He doesn't play in-line TE, he splits out to slot WR mostly like Jordan Reed or what Evan Engram is going to do. The transition was the right move for him, he wasn't great outside, but in his current spot he takes advantage of slot CBs that tend to be much smaller than outside CBs. He's got a much better shot of making the roster at his current spot than outside and he's actually a solid presence in the red zone in his current role.

@RayRayRaven well trolled sir, it takes dedication to do that for so long and then to switch it up on the very last day without saying a word. Brilliant.
