Jurkovec as Tight End

This whole thing is now beyond ridiculous. I wonder how the other tight ends on the team are taking the news.
 
WTF Has our coaching staff completely lost it? Hey since our QB can't actually throw the ball ( after 5 games mind you!!!!!) why don't we switch him to another position?

If I were a DE I would jack him up every snap at practice!

Who are the other TEs? Besides GB and DC, I legitimately dont know. Carter isnt good so I would say they arent either. Jurkovec is big and athletic. Let him give it a shot. If he cant do it, then dont play him. What's the risk? They might transfer? Good.

Cignetti was the OC for Scorin' Dorin, who wasnt a traditional TE and more of an H-back. Perhaps he could carve out a role like that for Phil.

Certainly won’t fool the other team seeing two “QB’s” in the backfield…….

Does else anyone wonder if this Phil at TE stuff might just be an elaborate hoax brought to you by the guy that dressed Jeff George Jr in the punter’s jersey for the sole purpose of attempting a fake punt against ND?

You do not want GB to transfer! If there was a promise to play him to get him here and they want to honor that play him on the freakin kickoff return. If this were last spring and they converted him to a position that he could add more value ( not hard to do ) then I can get around that but not now.

Bartholomew is laughing all the way to the transfer portal, I'm sure. Narduzzi is going to try and impede him with promises of how next season will be different, and Gavin is going to leap over him like he's a Tennessee DB.
 
Are some of you seriously criticizing this move? He got benched at QB and wants to contribute and help the team. He's not going to do that at QB, so maybe he can at TE. It's good news.

If the other TEs are concerned about a converted QB moving to their position, they might as well hang up their cleats right now.

Exactly.

The dull in this thread is quite strong.
 
what a truly colossal screw up on Cignetti and Narduzzi. They had all spring and summer to see this guy throw and come out of 2 camps, convinced he was the answer..

So you’d do that to a teammate who seems to be taking this well? Then wants to still try and contribute?

Some teammate you’d be. If I was on that team you’d be the one getting jacked.
 
kudos to him for trying to help the team but seriously, how bad is our TEs if this guy can step in and compete with out ever having played this position?

Lots of people drawers in a wad (not directed at you). It’s amazing. How about we wait and see if he even gets on the field? It’s a tall task. He’s more likely to be a practice body but is a pretty good athlete so who knows.

But yea if he does get on the field it doesn’t bode well for that position.

at the very least, it shows true character that he isnt just hanging it up and bowing out quietly. 99% of people in his position would not do this..

Narduzzi probably won’t even bother impeding him. Doesn’t like those TEs that aren’t a third OT. “He keeps complaining that he wants these things called ‘passes’ projected at him. I keep telling him his job is to bash into the DE in front of him but he keeps running PAST that guy and just stands out there waving his arms. What good is THAT?”

Well yea, not GB. I hope he stays but he shouldn't. Go to a better team for more money.
