man this page needs to try watching football. watch the 9ers, chiefs, rams, even the vikings. all of them utilize their WRs on occasion to exploit that matchup. gibbs was a good pass catcher, mason really wasn’t.
regardless we need to get a little bit more creative on offense and this is a relatively simple wrinkle to add. don’t be dense
lol. I get it, you like getting drunk on sundays and watching the NFL. Doesn't make your idea a good one for our situation.
No, Mason wasn't a good pass catcher out of the backfield. However, if we wanted a good pass catcher out of the backfield why would we ever put in a WR instead of just going with Gibbs? There is literally no advantage to it as Gibbs probably would have also been our best WR had we moved him there.
If your best and most dynamic player is a WR it makes sense to move him around to get the ball more and that could also mean lining him up at RB. Or if you have no depth at RB and need to spell your number 1, it might make sense to move a WR there if he has the skills. If you're super deep at RB and your best and most dynamic playmaker is a RB it doesn't make sense in just about any situation to put a WR there, much less any of the ones we have who have proven very little.
