If we were running a 4-3, I would be okay with putting Jack outside and maybe slimming him down.

But as bad of a fit as he is in a 3-4 at ILB, he is even worse as an OLB, especially at a reduced weight.  He wouldn't have the length to effectively rush the passer, and if he dropped weight he wouldn't have the bulk to hold the point of attack against the run.

Fair point. I just Wish he could turn into a 3-4 OLB

In terms of athletic ability, he's got versatility.  He could be a Mike or Will in a 4-3 and do very well.  I understand the thought of moving him around generally.

But he's miscast in a 3-4 both inside and outside, without even getting into his seeming lack of instincts.

If there were the rare 3-4 scheme where the OLBs frequently dropped into pass coverage, maybe I'd consider it.  But most of the 3-4 schemes in the NFL require a lot of pass rush from the OLBs.  I don't see Jack doing that successfully or consistently.
