Janis at "TE" make me think WR in the slot... my question is do we really want to take Cobb or Montgomery out of the slot to put Janis in it? First thought for me is "hell no"... Cobb seems average outside to me... he's sweet spot is the slot, only move him to the outside if it will open up the offense... and I'm not sure you can convince me it will.

It's true that Janis can be used as a deep decoy at TE.... but isn't that also true on the outside? At least if he could win one every so often... have we seen where Janis can consistently win once in a while? Not really...

Also if we want another speed WR that MIGHT be able to play other positions... the Steelers just released "RB"(WR) Dri Archer... at maybe 5' 8" and 175 lbs, he lacks power but he has straight line speed, running a 40 yard time that got clocked in at 4.26 at the combine.

I have to admit, I've been calling for a RB that can do well in that speed RB package that they set up for Franklin while he was here... I don't think Acer is that guy, but the dude has some nice pure speed if any team can figure out how to use him and get him to play well (which might be easier said than done as the Steelers just cut him, because they weren't getting the results they wanted).

I wanted them to draft Archer, too. Thought he offered more at WR (and returner) than Janis, plus a real change of pace occasional scatback at RB.

Would love to see them give him a shot now.

It sounds like he looks good on paper, but is a very poor football player. If he was an asset at all, I'm sure the Steelers would have kept him given the Bell injury. Apparently many Steelers fans didn't understand why he was on the roster so long in the first place (quoting that he must have some dirt on Tomlin, etc.)

Dude doesn't have to be in a three point stance. Let him stand up. He can atill run those drag routes and get down the seam with marginal hands and route running skills, just like a regular TE.

The LAST thing Janis should do is change positions at this stage of his football career. Either he makes it as a WR in the NFL, or he goes to another league.
Circular Arguments: They are a heck of an annoyance
