To each their own. Do I think he could possibly flourish as a te? Maybe. As I said, I just dont see taking away our second best wr for a freshmen wr. And if we do get Beau Sandland, then I would hope there is no chance in hades he switches. Westerkamp is a stud, but on the collegiate level he hasnt proven a thing yet obviously. QE is a great compliment to Kenny Bell and likewise. You key on one, the other is gonna beat you. Bad.
hope not but Bo's the coach
thanks, forgot about that... was simply brainstorming.
is Hart more of a blocking TE? any word on Connor Ketter walking on?
This isn't crazy at all, don't some of you remember the two players NU moved from reciever to TE in the '90's? Eric Alford was one, and I can't remember the other (I think Frazier hit him with the pass to set up the failed FG attempt vs FSU in the 93 Orange Bowl)
IMO moving him to TE would be a big mistake at this point in his career as he has little time to grow into and learn the position. I also think Q is a great compliment to KB or JT. He's a bigger and more physical WR that can give DB's fits.
QE is a receiver, and hes a dang good one. No reason at all to move him to TE. If he was a freshman, maybe, only to give him the time to learn the position, blocking schemes etc. But just because hes a big powerful receiver doesnt mean hed be good at TE. Running routes sure, hed excel, but putting him one on one against a quality DE, Im sorry, QE is a beast blocking on the secondary but theres no guarantee hed be good at blocking a quality DE. I think his career in the NFL, if he gets the opportunity, is at WR.
Didn't Quincy come into Lincoln at 190-200 lbs. He put on like 20 lbs to play the way he's playing currently. He is a mismatch because of the size he is at his position combined with his speed. Similar to McNeil. If you move him to TE, that advantage is gone, or if anything he is at a disadvantage as he would be able to consistently block a player whom has 40+ lbs on him. He would only be put in for passing situations. I can't imagine he would add on 20+ more lbs and keep his speed. And he isn't a "burner" currently. Moving him to TE, you are asking him to do something unnatural to his nature, thus putting him at a disadvantage.
It's not the same case as Niles Paul, who came to Lincoln at 210 lbs running a 4.4 in the 40 vs Quincy Eunuwa at 195 lbs running a 4.64.
And it's not comparable to Mike McNeill who came to Lincoln at 215 lbs came in benching 280 and squatting 450 but running a 4.6.
In other words, keep him where he is because that's where he is effective. You don't try to fix what's not broken. We made the mistake with Mike a few seasons back.

... what? We all knew that and it was said in the original post.
Q is a good potentially great WR for us now. So why would we move him his senior year? In our offense TEs don't get much work. Do you really one to see one of our most talented ball catchers go an under utilized position? We can develop good role TEs (like we did with Cotton, Long, etc.).
And why was Paul moved to TE? Because he wasnt a great WR at the next level. Just because Q might one day play TE in the league doesn't mean we should diminish his role his senior season when he could have 600+ yards.
I think Q is fine where he's at. We run a ton of 3 wide and I love the Q, Kenny, and Jamal look. That's a tough cover for any team and their skill sets compliment each other perfectly. Not to say Quincy couldn't make the move to TE but I don't think we should fix something that not only isn't broke, but seems to be firing on all cylinders.
Neither does the staff and I agree. +1
